D
As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result, he became famous.
Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.
Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence.

二、单项填空
21—25 CBACD 26—30 BACBA 31—35 ADCBD
重点解析：
21. get married不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。
22. turn out 意为"结果是;原来(情况是)"。turn up的意思是"开大(音量等);到来;露面"等;turn over 意为"把......翻过来;仔细考虑";turn into意为"进入;成为;翻译"。
23. with satisfaction"满意地"，相当于副词的作用。be satisfied with 意为"对......感到满意"。
24. patience名词，意为"耐心"。
25. 交通事故中受伤常用injured;damage多指对无生物的损害，意味着因部分损害而导致价值、用途降低;A和B两个选项分别用lost和missing才正确。
26. "more than + 形容词/副词/动词"这种形式用来表示被修饰的形容词、副词或动词的强烈程度，其目的是为了加强语气，意思是"非常;岂止;极其"。
27. even if / even though 意为"即使"。
28. What if...?是固定词组，意思是"如果......将会怎样;如果......该怎么办?'相当于：What will happen / should we do if...?如：What if he can't help us?假如他不能帮我们，我们该怎么办呢?
29. running是现在分词作方式状语;不定式作结果状语时，表示结果出乎主语的意料之外，尤其是和only连用时。
30. 如果使用B、D项，后一句应使用否定。thanks to意为“由于，幸亏”,相当于because of或owing to。
31. 本题考查连词的用法。B项no matter 后缺连词，故排除;从句意看，主从句存在让步关系，因此最佳答案为A。however much work =no matter how much work.
全句意思为：无论你有多少工作要做，晚上你都要设法睡个好觉。
32. 由于“____ you do at work”作介词in的宾语，故排除B、C两项，因为no matter what /how不能引导名词性从句;由于选项在宾语从句中作do的宾语，因此D项是最佳答案。
全句意思为：既然你有了工作，那么在工作中无论你做什么都要努力做好。
34. “every+单数名词”是“每个…”之意;“every + few(two, three…) +复数名词”是“每(隔)几(两、三……)”之意。
例如：He comes to see me every Sunday.
他每个星期天都来看我。
They move on to a new place every two or three years.
他们每隔两三年就要搬到一个新的地方。
三、完形填空)
36—40 CACDD 41—45 ABCBC 46—50 CDCAD 51—55 BACBD
重点解析：
这是一篇预防"非典"的常识性小文章。介绍了一些应当注意的事项及预防的策略，会给同学们提供一些有利的参考与启示。
36. 根据上文的意思：若偶尔咳嗽，则视为普通感冒，但如果......，显然，此为转折，故用But。
37. 常识告诉我们：发烧且伴咳嗽，故选A。
38. 看医生，习惯搭配：see a doctor。
39. 这四个词均为原因，for解释说明的原因;as很显现的原因; since既然(如此);because解释why的原因，显然上文有：为何去看医生，因为有症状，故选because。
40. 表示要采取格外的预防措施，与take action / take notice等take短语属一类;而have / get / bring均无此搭配。
41. suggest hope均无动词不定式复合结构的搭配，而allow不符合句意。
42. 在中国广泛地被使用，显然是被动，而bought不符合句意。
43. 根据上下文意思，显然是用板兰根、白醋杀病毒;而其它三个选项不符合句意。
44. 根据常识与上下文，显然病毒存在于空气中，故选B，即in the air。
45. 由上文的but就可断定：这些措施在预防SARS方面缺乏疗效;而protecting保护，defending防御，winning赢得，均不妥;故用preventing。
46. 根据上下文的意思：如果是刚回来，显然用just; still仍;yet还;only仅仅。
47. 考查定语从句，that / which是关系代词，在定语从句中作主语或宾语;when是关系副词，在定语从句中做时间状语;where是关系副词，在定语从句中作地点状语;故选where。
48. inform sb. of sth.通知某人某事,tell / speak / say均无此搭配。
49. 介词的考查，根据上下文，是旅游期间，而while作连词;在.......期间;故选during。
50. 停止旅游，直到彻底康复，表示完成，故用recovered。
51. 考查情态动词。句意为：过了潜伏期，才可以安下心来;故用can表可以;而should / shall应当，must必须，不合句意。
52. 考查过去分词短语作后置定语的用法，giving / to give可作定语，但不表被动，gave是过去式，不可作定语，故选given。
53. 考查代词的用法;another另一个，表泛指;other常用作定语;one泛指"一个人";而others泛指"其他人"。
54. 考查动词的比较;由上下文的提示可知：根据天气变化增减衣物，reduce与add对应，故选B。
