C．Being asked
D．Asked
【答案与解析】 D 题意：当被问到她为环保做了些什么时，她表示她一直乘坐公共交通工具。主语she与ask之间为被动关系，且ask是完成的动作，所以此处用过去分词asked作状语。

A．the one; being accompanied

29．In my mind, ________ that famous university will be the only way to become a world－class writer.
A．attending
B．attended
C．attend
D．having attended
【答案与解析】 A 动名词短语作主语，表示笼统的行为，又因该句为事实性陈述语气，没有明确的时间状语，故排除D项。
30．If better use is ________ your spare time, you'll make greater progress in that.
A．spent
B．taken
C．made of
D．used of
【答案与解析】 C make use of...为固定短语。本题可以用还原法做题，即“If you make better use of your spare time...”。
31．—How wise of you to come round, but why?
—________ that all is right.
A．See
B．To see
C．Seeing
D．For seeing
【答案与解析】 B 单从答语上看，很难确定哪个是正确答案。若用“补全法”，联系问句，在头脑中补上省去的部分，便可知孰对孰错。问句中与答语有直接联系的部分是“but why”，它的完整意思是 “...but why have you come round”，其完整答语应是 “I've come round to see that all is right”。答语中省去了主、谓部分，只保留了作目的状语的不定式。
32．Greatly moved by what she did, ________.
A．tears came to my eyes
B．my heart was full of gratefulness
C．my eyes were filled with tears

—Nothing much. Take warm clothes ________ the weather is cold.
A．as long as
B．now that
C．if
D．in case

34．The media can often help solve problems and draw attention ________ situations
________ help is needed.
A．in; that
B．to; which
C．in; where

35．—I'm thinking of losing weight these days.
—Oh, you ________ be out of your mind. You're 50 kilograms at the most!
A．will
B．should
C．may
D．must

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Dr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project which is the largest study of humour. Participants are invited to log on to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details, tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.
The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world's funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose. The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.
This is a subject that has long interested psychologists
(心理学家) and philosophers
(哲学家). Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want.
But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about
ourselves.
