1.語境題.根據下文中的謂語動詞felt以及下一句的開頭部分But today,可以判斷出該句的事態應該為過去時,而前半句又為句中的時間狀語,可以確定正確答案為ago.
2.語境題.本題首先需要對該空所在的句子進行語法分析.the __2__ that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to __3__.注意到that引導的從句部分為一個完整的句子,正句話并不缺少任何成分,所以可以確定該從句應為同位語從句.考察四個選項,可以用來作為同位語從句先行詞并且意思通順的只能是idea,表示觀點,看法.
3.詞匯搭配題.首先分析這句話the environment will be increasingly influential in years to __3__.注意到其時態為將來時,而to __3__在文中為不定時作定語,修飾years.而選擇的詞匯應該符合該句將來時的事態并且意思通順.to come的意思為即將到來的.
4.語境題.本題第一眼看無法確定該選擇哪個答案,但繼續讀下去可以發現,本段的結構為總分結構,即本句話是該段的總結句.分析下面的內容可以發現,該段主要是講述關于室內裝修的,所以該空應該選擇indoor.
5.詞匯搭配題.本題需要根據主語和賓語,考察選項,確定正確的謂語動詞.分析句子The energy-efficient sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis __5__ indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet.主語為The energy-efficient sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis,賓語為problem,其大致意思為某事...了問題.根據中文的表達習慣,應為某事暴露問題.reveal的意思為露出,揭示,顯示.此處引申為暴露的意思.
6.詞匯搭配題.本題四個選項,down to的意思為下至,next to的意思為接近,靠近,與鄰近;次于,near to的意思為接近;幾乎要.分析該句話weve been focusing on these materials __76__ to the molecules.解題的關鍵在于對materials和molecules的理解,前者的意思為材料,后者的意思為分子.materials比 molecules所表述的概念更大,所以應該選擇down to.
7.語境題.本題的解答有賴于對本段大意的準確把握.本段的主題是討論裝修材料所存在的問題,該問題對人類和植物的安全造成危險.所以本題應該選擇safe.
8.詞匯搭配題.本題需要根據主語和賓語,考察選項,確定正確的謂語動詞.本句話such as paints that release significantly __8__ amounts of organic compounds.為一個插入語結構.該句話的主語為paints that release,賓語為amounts of organic compounds.即涂料...了有機混合物的數量,考察四個選項,可以確定選擇含有減少意思的reduce.
9.詞匯搭配題.分析本句 that dont __9__ the quality of the air, water, or soil.that指代前面的materials,其意思為材料不會...空氣,水和土壤的質量.考察四個選項,含有破壞意思的desttroy符合題意.
10和11.語境題.分析本句話Ultimately, __10__, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being less bad but on creating __11__ healthful materials.注意到本句話中的關鍵結構not...but...,其意思是不僅僅是...而是...10題考查兩句話之間的邏輯關系.分析句子后,可以發現句中的not...but...,not...部分是對前一句的總結,but...是本句所要重點表達的意思.注意到not...部分中的 not simply,可以確定兩個句子的關系應該是轉折的關系,所以應該選擇however.在本結構中not simply on being less bad 是對上一句意思的總結,有本句話中的關鍵詞not simply以及后半句可知,本句話和前一句應該是轉折的關系.11題的解答可以用到標志詞法,分析not...but...結構可知,兩者結構是并列的,意思是遞進的.即根據less bad,推出11應該選擇completely.
12.詞匯搭配題.本題考查固定搭配either...or...
13.詞匯搭配題.本題考查固定搭配as a matter of fact表示in fact.
14.詞匯搭配題.分析本句the worlds largest carpet manufacturer has already __14__ a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable.主語為the worlds largest carpet manufacturer,賓語為a carpet.其意思為世界最大的地毯制造商...地毯.考察四個選項,由句中的has already,可知排除researched,因為它是持續性動詞.sketched意思不符,constructed搭配不對,所以正確答案為表示開發意思的developed.
15.語境題,詞匯搭配題.本題的解答需要綜合考慮本句和下一句話的意思.注意到下一句中的But和 current,可以推斷本句話應該是表示發生在現在以前的事情.考察選項四個詞匯與介詞out搭配構成的詞組的意思,start out的意思為出發,動身;開始時打算.pull out的意思為拔出,離開,度過難關,恢復健康.look out的意思為面朝,朝外看;留神,提防;照料,照看;搜尋,找出.make out的意思為書寫,填寫,拼湊,進展,說明,設法應付,理解,辨認出,做,了解.因此可以確定應該選擇start.

17和18.語境題,詞匯搭配題.分析該句話So __17__ of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are __18__ a positive approach.17題所考查的是表示兩個分句之間邏輯關系的連接詞.由前一句中的reduce the damage和后一句中的positive approach,可知兩者的意思是相反的,所以應該選擇instead of,其意思為代替.18題主要考察詞匯的搭配.分析后半句,主語為we,賓語為approach,approach作名詞時的意思為方法,途經.根據含義表達的習慣,應該選擇含有采納,采用意思的adopt.
19.語境題.分析本句話Were giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a __19__ effect on the world.根據我講過的標志詞法,注意到句中的and,所以and前后的兩個分句的意思是相近的.前半個句子的意思是我們正在給人們高質量,健康的商品.分析and后面的半個句子,在句中含有一個定語從句that have a __19__ effect,先行詞為choices,換句話說這個定語從句是修飾choices的.所以空格19所填入的形容詞所表達的意思應該是和前半個句子是相近的,考察四個選項,應該選擇含有有益的意思的beneficial.
20.詞匯搭配題.首先考察四個選項,full, total和complete都是用來修飾數量多的，而entireentire 是指一樣東西的全部，也就是說整體.注意到本文的最后一句Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.說明并不是全部城市都采取了這個方法.所以應該選擇entire表示整個城市.
