這是一篇有關于講男士時裝店的文章，實質上銷售名車零部件。全文除了第25空有點難度以外，其他均是送分題�？疾榱硕ㄕZ從句，最高級，非謂語，被動語態等語法點，個別空格還要注意時態，也考驗學生語法能力。

25. 解析：what�？疾楸碚Z從句引導詞。That is后面看到是一句句子，可以分析出是一句從句，另外company一詞后面是對該公司的具體描述，即describe后面實體是company，而這樣的結構并不完整，描述該公司。。。。。，后面還缺賓語，故填what。意思是說Lo把該公司說成“男士時裝店”。

26. 解析：that/which。本題考查的是定語從句關系詞。注意到company一詞后面是對該公司的具體描述，因此屬于定語修飾，故填關系代詞that/which。

27. 解析：the biggest�？疾樾稳菰~最高級。對于名車收藏家而言，最頭疼的問題我們可以想象就是車有了，但是里面零件有缺失，這是很頭疼的問題。故填最高級。

28. 解析：checked�？疾榉侵^語。這個空格不難填，與后面repaired對應。意指原車要先得到檢查和修理。

29. 解析：are developed�？疾楸粍诱Z態。本空格也不難填，與后面is made相對應。

30. 解析：encouraged�？疾閯釉~過去式。這里的encourage結合語境是過去發生的事，故填過去式。

31. 解析：what�？疾橘e語從句疑問詞。注意到介詞for后面是一句句子，考慮是賓語從句。另外，like在這里屬于介詞，而介詞后面沒有成分，故缺賓語what。

32. 解析：having/enjoying�？疾榉侵^語兼固定搭配。這里學生容易忽略后面的lunch而填drinking，所以要看清。

(B)

    The most common mistakes (33) _____ (lead) to a bad back are poor body mechanics and unhealthy habits. How you move objects, your posture, not stretching before exercising and the wrong kind of shoes all contribute to one of the most common medical problems today. Back pain affects eight out of 10 people in their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health.
    Dr. Douglas Won, founder and director of Minimally Invasive SpineCARE and Star Medical Center in Plano, Texas, offers some tips to improve back health:
    First, maintain proper body mechanics:
lStretch (34) _____ exercising or doing any tough activity. Push heavy objects across the floor instead of pulling or lifting them.
l(35) _____ lifting is necessary, lift with your knees, not your back.
lAvoid sudden movements and "twisting" motions when carrying objects--even a bag of groceries can do serious harm when (36) _____ (handle) improperly.
lMaintain good posture as often as possible. When standing, your weight (37) _____ be balanced smoothly and regularly on both feet to avoid injuring your muscles and joints.
lWear proper shoes. High-heeled shoes are common criminals, but even tennis shoes can be (38) _____ problem if they don't provide you with proper support.
    Next, adopt healthy habits:
lExercise regularly: The best programs for back health include basic (39) _____ (strengthen) and cardiovascular (心血管的) exercises.
Reduce stress: When stressed, the body tightens (40) _____ muscles. This can result in spasms (痙攣), "muscle twists" and stressed nerves that are painful and can lead to more serious problems.

本文主要講對背部的保護，傳授了幾個小貼士。全文除了第35空有點難度以外，其它難度不大，但是要非常注意前后文的理解，考查了幾個初高中的綜合語法點，范圍很廣很雜。

33. 解析：leading�？疾榉侵^語。本題難度不大，看得出主句的真正謂語動詞是are，中間“導致背部受傷”實際是對前面“常見錯誤”的修飾，作定語，而且錯誤導致受傷呈主動關系，故填leading。

34. 解析：before�？疾榻樵~。此題是送分題。因為前面有說到“鍛煉身體前不做舒展運動也會導致背部不適”。而這里是給出貼士，是一種勸告建議，故填before，意指希望能在健身前做舒展運動。

35. 解析：If/When�？疾爝B詞或副詞，本句有點難度，但是看到這里屬于貼士范圍，而本句后半部分屬于祈使句，因此看得出前面是假設，意指“如果/當搬運有必要的話，最好是用膝蓋頂一下而不是背著”。

36. 解析：handled。本題考查的是被動語態。但是本題要看清前后句，前句中“carrying objects”對應的邏輯主語是前面祈使句中隱藏的主語“you”，呈主動關系因此寫成ing形式。而后一句邏輯主語是groceries，是sth，因此這里的when后面的handle與其呼應呈被動關系，故填handled。

37. 解析：should。本題考查的是情態動詞。該空格有學生會想到填must，但是由于這是貼士，是給出勸告建議，故填should比較合適，must語氣比較強硬。意指“在站立的時候，體重應該平分兩腳才能避免受傷”。

38. 解析：another。本題考查不定代詞，前句說穿高跟鞋很痛苦，這里轉折說穿球鞋也有可能帶來問題，而這個是另一個問題，故填another。

39. 解析：strength。本句說的是要經常鍛煉，要多做力量練習，故填名詞strength。

40. 解析：the�？疾於ü谠~。本題難度不大，前面身體特指，這里肌肉也特指。
