試題分析：從前有兩個(gè)僅一墻之隔的壓力小鎮(zhèn)和快樂小鎮(zhèn)，兩個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)的人們彼此不相往來。在壓力小鎮(zhèn)人們時(shí)刻處于競爭的壓力下；而在快樂小鎮(zhèn)人們都不思進(jìn)取，碌碌無為。這兩種截然不同的生活都導(dǎo)致了很多問題，終于有一天兩個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)的人們意識到了如果不走極端的話，壓力和快樂是不分開的。
1.D動(dòng)詞辨析。A連接； B保持；C. 把。。。擋在外面；D. 阻止。從情理可知建墻的目的是為了阻擋人們相互影響，所以答案選D。
2.A 不定代詞辨析。A.每個(gè)人；B. 任何人；C. 沒有人；D. 某個(gè)人。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知壓力小鎮(zhèn)上的人們在生活的方方面面都在競爭，任何人都不例外，所以答案選A。
3.C動(dòng)詞辨析。 A. 有；B. 喜歡；C.競爭；D.嘗試。根據(jù)下文There was violent competition in every aspect of life可知人們都彼此攀比競爭，所以答案選C。

7.A副詞辨析。A.對比之下；與此同時(shí)；B. 同時(shí)；C. 因此；D. 簡直，幾乎。根據(jù)上下文可知此段講述快樂小鎮(zhèn)和壓力小鎮(zhèn)截然不同的情況，所以選A、句意：對比之下，在快樂小鎮(zhèn)上，人們的座右銘就是“做吧，只要你喜歡。”
8.B名詞辨析。A. 樂趣；B. 壓力；C. 工作；D. 幸福。從下文的敘述可知在快樂小鎮(zhèn)上，人們隨心所欲，想做什么就做什么，由此推斷人們都沒有壓力，所以選B。

11.C 短語辨析。A. 在上午； B. 在晚上；C.整天；D. 在下午。根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容Children played computer games day and night.可知孩子們整天玩游戲，由此推測成年人們也是每天都喝咖啡，無所事事。所以答案選C。

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.
The writer is probably ______.
A. worker B. a college teacher
C. manager of a company D. a clerk
He learned ______ that there would be a concert last Friday.
A. from his friends B. from one of his colleagues
C. over the radio D. from the newspaper
He could go and buy the ticket ______.
A. any day before work hours B. both before and after work hours
C. only during lunch time D. on Saturday and Sunday
The word “relieved” in the last two sentences may best be replaced by “______”.
A. surprised B. pleased C. puzzled D. sorry
The story is about ______.
A. a good concert
B. someone enjoying a good concert
C. someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friends
D. someone’s disappointment at not being able to go to the concert
