This soil has been worked and planted for so many years that it has lost its value.

参考答案与分析
17 D 这一题的考点是开头这句It is said that in New England one is always climbing hills. “It is said that……”这种事非常典型的提示考点的句型。一定要引起重视。 hills 和选项D的hilly几乎是原词复现。
18 A 这题的考点是第一段最后一句This soil has been worked and planted for so many years that it has lost its value. “So …… that……” 也是一个很重要的提示考点的句型。这里的土地已经被利用和种植太多年了以至于已经失去了价值。其实这句话也就是A选项说的overworked ，过度开发，过度利用的概念。是一个近义复现
19 C 这题的考点是第二段第一句Most New Englanders today works in factories or small business. “Most” “today” 都是很重要的提示词。Factories和C选项是原词复现。
20 B 这题的考点是最后一句：This skill is often passed down in families from father to son. passed down 遗传，传承。这种技能通常是在家庭里传承的，由父亲传给儿子。 那么反过来说就是大多数人都是父母那里学来这些技能的，选B |
