[解析] 题目问的是最迟什么时候可以退货。从第一个表格可知买的日期是 16 March ，从 表二“no more than 14 days after buying for an exchange or get your money back\可知 14 天内包换，所以最晚的可退货是时间是 30 March，故选 C.
18. According to the receipt, which may NOT be a way to get to know the shop? A. Address. [答案] D [考点] 细节题
[解析」题目问的是下列哪一个方式是我们无法了解到这家商店的。根据表一，第一行出现 了地址，第二行出现电话，表一和表二最后第二行出现了网站，所以 A、B、C 三个选项正 确，文章中未出现报纸，所以选 D。 [参考答案] ACD

“Hi! How are you?” The woman smiled as she took the seat next to me on the airplane. She had to lower herself slowly, trying hard to push her fat body into the seat, filling all available space.
I didn't reply and moved a little towards the window. She repeated her greeting in a friendly voice.
“Hi,” I replied.
“My name is Laura, I’m form Britain. How about you?” she talked excitedly. “Malaysia.” I said coldly.
Laura started a conversation with me, talking no notice of my unfriendly reactions. Her voice was warm and caring. She was thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals she made sure that I had room to move in my seat. “I don't want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said with great sincerity(真诚).
To my surprise, the face that I had dislike hours before slowly showed nice smile --- lively and calm at the same time. I couldn't help but let down my guard.
Laura was interesting. During our conversation, Laura managed to make every person on the
plane who served us walk away laughing at her jokes,

I asked Laura, “Have you ever thought about losing some weight? You aren't worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?”
“Not at all, because I eat healthily and walk regularly,” she said. “This may not be scientific, but I believe in my heart that the people who get diseases are the ones who worry all the time, I'm this size because I was born to be big! There is more to life than worrying about weight all day long.”
She drank her wine. “Besides, God gives me so much happiness that I need a bigger body to hold all of it! If I lose weight, I'll lose my happiness.”
Surprised by her unusual reasoning, I smiled. I suddenly realized that Laura was the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my life.

Many people spend their vacations doing nothing on a beach, but Kirsty Ross wanted to do something different. “I spent three weeks working in the hot sun, digging to find pieces of old cups and plates,” she says. “I worked really hard all day and I slept in a tent. My friends though I was crazy, but I had an amazing time. It was my best vacation ever!”
Kirsty was working for a volunteer program in Tunisia in North Africa. Groups of twenty-five young volunteers work together on archaeological sites to find important information about the past. The volunteers have to be very careful, because it's important not to damage the things they find. Many of them work at Tunisia's biggest archaeological site in Carthage, but some of them work in other important sites in the country.
Kirsty explains why she chose this vacation. “I've always been interested in history, and Tunisia
has a lot of very important archaeological sites. People were living in Carthage 3,000 years ago. I love being in places that are so old. It was exciting to find pots and other things that people used every day.”
It was harder for Kirsty than for some of the others. “I come from Alaska which is a cold place.” She says. “It was hard for me to work under the hot North African sun. But 4 / 17
it was a wonderful chance to meet people from other countries and to learn about the past. It changed my life. Now I'm hoping to learn more about it in college.”

[解析] 从文章第二段\volunteers have to be careful”进行判断，和 A 选项 hide(藏)，C 选项 lose(失去，丢失)以及 D 选项 steal(偷)没有联系，B 选项 break(打破)符合句义，因为通 过考古挖掘出来的东西不可以破坏，这是很重要的事情，故选 B。 24. All the following about Kirsty are true EXCEPT A. Kirsty thought the archaeology work was hard but interesting. B. Kirsty spent three weeks working for the volunteer program. C. Kirsty was excited about finding things people used every day. D. Kirsty enjoyed working under the sun in Tunisia very much. [答案] D [考点] 细节题
[解析] 从文章最后一段“was harder for Kirsty than for some of the others” 以及“It was harder for me to work under the hot North African sun”看出，Kirsty 没有能够享受在阳光 下工作，因此 D 选项错误。根据第一段“I worked really hard all day and I slept in a tent. My friends thought I was crazy, but I had an amazing time. It was my best vacation ever!” 可知 A 选项正确；根据第一段“I spent three weeks working in the hot sun, digging to find pieces of old cups and plates,”可知 B 选项正确，根据倒数第二段“It was exciting to find pots and other things that people used every day.”可知 C 选项正确，故选 D。
