试题分析：本文是记叙文阅读，讲述来了久别重逢的Mark和Mary一起出去吃饭，Mary发现苍蝇一直黏再Mark的头发上，后来才知道Mark错把蝇胶当成了头油。
24. B 推理判断题。根据第二段2、3、4句His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However, that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all.可知Mark只是比以前胖了一点点。根据下文可知Mary愿意和他出去吃饭，说明Mary对他的印象很好。可知以前的Mark是一个瘦瘦的帅小伙。故B正确。
25. C 猜测词义题。根据后半句but she couldn’t help thinking about them.但是她情不自禁地还是想起
C. A hair trick.
D. A wonderful ride.
他头上的那些苍蝇。说明She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to divert her attention away from the flies她打开收音机是想把注意力从苍蝇上分散掉。所以该词意为“take...away from...把...从...拿开”故C正确。
26. D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“That’s not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it’s Fly Trap Glue!”可知Mark错把蝇胶当成了头油，导致了之前的苍蝇一直留着头发上。这才是Mary大笑的原因，故D正确。
【名师点睛】
本文属于猜测词义题，这是高考中常考的题型。同时猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。 1. 定义法
It will be very hard but also very brittle...that is, it will break easily. 从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是“脆”的意思。 2. 同位法
They traveled a long way, at last got to a castle, a large building in old times. 同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义，即“城堡”。 3. 对比法
She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but一词表转折，因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是她今天“第一节上了一半才来”，因此反向推理，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。 4. 构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)
Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.
possibility 是 possible 的同根名词， 据此可以断定 possibility 意思是“可能性”。 5. 因果法
The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness was permanent. So the player could never play the sport again.
从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”中，可以推测 permanent 的意思为“永远的，永久的”。
