1. 此处表达“Tom一穿着T恤出现，Li就意识到他们对着装的恰当性有不同看法”，as soon as意为“一……就……”，引导时间状语从句，符合语境。
2. 此处表达“后来Tom把一个时钟作为礼物送给Li”，as有“作为”的含义，符合句意。
3. 此处是固定搭配for a while，意为“一会儿”，符合语境。
4. 此处是固定结构not...until...，意为“直到……才……”，句意为“直到Li向Tom解释，他才知道在中国时钟是厄运的象征”，符合逻辑。
5. 此处表达“他们承诺更多了解彼此的习俗，以便他们的友谊可以变得更牢固”，so that引导目的状语从句，表“为了，以便”，符合语境。
多余选项B（unless 除非）不符合任何空的语境。

二、阅读理解。
①Yang Kexin comes from Guizhou Province. She really loves meteorites(陨石).
②Yang became interested in meteorites when she was young. Once, she saw a photo of a meteorite. Her friend found the meteorite in Xinjiang. Yang got inspired and in 2012, she left her job in Beijing and started to work in Hami, Xinjiang. There she spent most of her free time looking for meteorites. However, it was not easy. Luckily, Yang found a small meteorite on one trip. She jumped up and down and shouted, “I found a meteorite!” And the finding made her decide to look for more meteorites.
③Yang spent five years in Hami and found more than 600 meteorites. These meteorites were valuable. Someone wanted to buy them at a high price, but Yang said no. She never thought of making money with them.
④In 2017, Yang went back to Guizhou Province and started a museum showing her meteorites. “I spent more than 300,000 yuan opening this museum. Because I didn’t have enough money, I borrowed some,” she said. So it came as a surprise when she decided to
open the museum to people for free. She thinks it’s a good way to help more people learn about meteorites.
⑤Yang enjoys her life because she is doing something she’s really interested in.

1. 细节理解题。根据原文第二段内容，杨可欣小时候看到一张陨石的照片后受到启发，之后萌生了寻找陨石的想法，后续才辞去北京的工作前往哈密付诸行动。选项A“参观博物馆之后”不符合时间线，博物馆是她后续开设的；选项C“在哈密找到工作之后”是她开始实际花时间找陨石的时间，并非做出寻找陨石决定的时间，因此选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“she decided to open the museum to people for free”可知，她的陨石博物馆对公众免费开放。A选项错误，博物馆开设在她的家乡贵州，不在哈密；C选项错误，2012年她刚前往哈密工作，博物馆是2017年后开设的，因此选B。
3. 主旨大意题。文章最后一段点明核心，杨可欣因为从事自己真正热爱的事而享受生活，整个故事传递的核心是要追随自己的内心，坚持自己热爱的事物。B选项“享受每一天”并非文章主旨，C选项“尽力帮助他人”只是她开设免费博物馆的单个行为，不是故事要表达的主要道理，因此选A。
4. 结构分析题。文章第①段总起，介绍杨可欣的基本情况，点明她热爱陨石；第②③④段分别分述她对陨石产生兴趣的缘由、在哈密寻找陨石的经历、回到贵州开设免费陨石博物馆的相关内容；第⑤段总结她的人生感悟，整体是“总-分-总”的结构，对应选项A的示意图。
