I would like to sell some of the course books I used in college, because I’m going to graduate from college soon. The details of these books are as follows.
First of all, those books are a set of professional books used by English majors in our school. They are about American literature, including the history of American literature, introduction of American great writers and some excepts from great works like the Old man and the Sea by Hemingway. It was also attached with a CD with some native speakers reading those excepts. What’s more, many graduate schools list this set of books as the reference books, so if you want to apply for a master’s degree, you can use it not only in the class but also for the postgraduate entrance examination. My books are 80% new and are to be sold at half the price of a new set. Don’t miss it!
If you have any question or want more information, don’t hesitate to contact me. You can call 8654321 or send email to liming@163.com.

由于我即将毕业,所以打算将我在大学里用的一些教材卖掉。这些书的详细情况如下:
首先,这些书是我们学校的英语专业学生使用的一套专业书,是关于美国文学的,书的内容包括美国文学历史,美国伟大作家介绍,以及像海明威一样的一些名著的选段。另外这本书还附带了一套英语母语者朗读选段的光盘。而且,许多研究生学校会把这套书作为参考书,所以如果你以后想要获得硕士学位,你不仅可以在课堂上用这套书也可以在用这套书准备研究生入学考试。最后,我的这套书是八成新的,售价是原价的五折。不要错过哦!

【答案解析】
26. 本题是在文中的第三句话中出现,根据该句的语法结构,发现26题所在处的单词词性应为形容词,修饰exercise,联系上文中提到“锻炼可以消耗身体中的肌肉”,由此得知本句的意思为经过大量锻炼后,我们的肌肉变得疲惫,因此此处应填入“vigorous”表示“剧烈的运动”。
27. 本题是在a和called “central fatigue”中间出现,根据语法结构,可以得出此处应填入的单词词性为名词,后面的called “central fatigue”做后置定语修饰限定前面的名词,然后根据本句意思“肌肉的表现也会被一种称之为“中枢疲劳”的_____所影响”;根据所给出的全部名词,选出正确答案为I phenomenon现象一词。
28. 本题位于句子最后,根据语法结构可以判断出本题要填入的词汇的词性为副词,因此根据该句意思“人体内化学信使的失调会使中枢神经系统无法______指导肌肉运动”,此处应填入的副词为E effectively 有效地。
29. 本题位于名词motor system(运动系统)之后,且空格前有directly副词的修饰,由此确定该处单词的词性应为动词,但由于本句已有谓语动词affect,因此此处应填入非谓语动词,限定修饰前面的名词motor system;根据文中意思,可以确定此处的单词应为G involved 参与,即“不直接参与锻炼的运动系统--例如眼部运动”。
30. 本题前面有不定冠词a,由此判断此处应为名词,根据后面“either with a moderate dose(适度剂量) of caffeine”可以得知此处应该是研究人员给11位志愿者一种溶液。因此,本题应选M solution。
31. 本题应结合下文进行分析,首先根据题目所在位置可判断此处的词性为名词类词汇(包括动名词);下文中提到科学家测试骑自行车的人(cyclist),由此可得知前面应该是这些人所做的运动应为骑自行车,因此,本题选择D cycling (骑自行车)。
32. 本题所在部分的意思为“大脑如何_____视觉系统”,此处需要填入的单词词性为动词,根据常识,可以得知大脑控制视觉系统,因此此处选择C control (控制)。
33. 根据语法结构可得出本题所在部分为句子的状语成分,因此需要填入的单词词性为非谓语动词,根据文章逻辑,得出“锻炼使快速眼动速度降低8%左右,_____他们捕捉新的视觉信息的能力”,此处应为降低/组织捕捉新的视觉信息的能力,因此此处选择J preventing(阻止)。
34. 本题考查词组搭配be ______ to,根据文章的逻辑,上文第二句话中提到“不用害怕,咖啡可以使眼睛快速恢复”,由此,可以推出此句的意思为“咖啡因足够消除这种影响,一些骑自行车的志愿者甚至眼动速度增加。”因此,此题选择 N sufficient (足够的;充分的)。
35. 根据上题的分析,可以快速选出此题的答案为 F increased(增加)。
