高考完形填空专项训练步步高
抓好三方面●跨好三大步●做好三结合
------谈完形填空解题技巧
中学生在做完形填空题时存在的问题，概括起来有以下三方面：
1.不善于抓文章的主旨大意，并以此为中心展开对整篇文章的推理、判断，导致理解上出现偏差，甚至和文章的中心相悻。
2.容易受定势思维的影响，对文意分析不透，忽视特定语境中知识的运用。
3.对完形填空题怀有厌倦、畏惧心理，以至做题时处于应付状态，做题能力得不到提高。
那么，怎样才能提高做完形填空题的能力呢？我们应从以下三方面入手训练思维能力和解题技巧：抓准主旨、透析文意、理清逻辑。并在做题过程中把这三方面与做完形填空的三大步骤“通读、精读、复读”有机结合，明确每步的思维主攻方向。即抓好三方面，跨好三大步，做好三结合。
一、通读短文抓主旨
一般情况下，完形填空短文都不给标题，不容易把握文章的主题和大意。但短文首句通常不设空格，这就为我们窥视文章全貌提供了一个窗口，而尾句往往是文章的总结、结论或点睛之笔，所以抓住开篇启示作用的首句和总结概括性的尾句是必要的。借助于首尾句给予的启示，克服不良心理的影响，满怀信心，全神贯注，目光越过空格，注意能体现文章大意的关键词句，尽力从整体上理解短文大意，这是逐空填词的重要依据和基础。如果一开始就忙于见空填空，势必无法从整体上把握全文概要，无法形成连贯的思路，只见树木不见森林，理解偏离文章的中心，造成顾，此失彼的错误，甚至影响做题速度。
抓住了文章的主旨大意后，我们围绕主旨大意去阅读、预测、推理、判断，往往会收到事半功倍的效果。尤其是一些干扰性强，容易使人犯想当然错误的选项就会迎刃而解。
二、精读短文析文意
在基本抓住文章的主旨后，应逐句精读短文，逐题分析选项，对特定的语境做深人的理解，克服“定势思维”，根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，逐项填空。切不可以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，而应以能否恰如其分地表达文意作为选择最佳答案的唯一标准。要吃透文意，理解到位，我们应做到以下几点：
1.从上下文的角度考虑，注意其内在联系。就题论题，断章取义，忽视上下文的信息提示是我们常犯的错误。因此我们在做题时要注重暗含的信息提示，找准突破口，确保文意畅通。
2.从词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的角度去考虑，准确判断。NMET完形填空题中考查词汇意义及用法、惯用法和搭配的题目逐年增多，必须结合上下文把握文意，研读细节，准确认定语境，才能做好这类题目。
3.从逻辑推理、常识等角度考虑，挖掘文章的寓意及隐含意义。尤其是NMET完形填空短文大都包含一定的哲理和寓意，具备深层探询的可能性，这就要求我们既要明确表层意义，还要理解其深层含义。而结合我们已有的生活常识和社会常识去做题，则会有意想不到的效果，因为每个人的能力不是单一的。
4.从英汉两种语言的差异角度去考虑，避免错误。因为我们在英语学习过程中往往伴随“心译”过程，而出题者则会从母语的角度设置干扰项，在做题时一定要意识到这一点，不要受母语影响，借助平时学习中培养起来的语感，灵活处理。
总之，在逐项填空时应根据全文大意和词不离句，句不离文的原则，把上下文的意思、句
法结构、词类和语法功能、惯用法、逻辑推理常识等各种因素加在一起综合考虑，仔细推敲，
选中答案。
三、复读全文再检验
在做完一篇完形填空后，文章完整了，应从头至尾读一遍，根据复读的语感和对整篇短文的理解，再次将较明显的错误改正，个别需要推敲的再做调整，力争尽可能少出错。
另外，要做好完形填空，除了具备扎实的基础知识和快速阅读及理解的能力外，良好的心理素质和思维品质也至关重要。我们在平时训练时不能忽视对后者的训练。

Why is a space left between the rails of a railway line where one piece joins the next? The space 1 to let the rail expand (膨胀)when it gets 2 . On a hot day, the metal expands and if it 3 to do this, the rails would bend 4 shape. This caused railway 5 in the past.

Washoe is a young chimpanzee (黑猩猩). She is no 1 chimpanzee, though. Scientists are doing a research 2 her. They want to see how civilized (驯化) she can 3 .Already she does many things human being can do.
For exmaple, she has been learning how to exchange 4 with people. The scientists are teaching her 5 language. When she wants to be picked 6» ,Washoe points up with one finger. She rubs her teeth with her finger 7 she wants to brush her teeth. This is done after every meal.
Washoe has also been 8 to think out and find answers to problems. Once she was put in a 9 with food hanging from the ceiling. It was too high to 10 . After she considered the 11 , she got a tall box to stand 12 . The food was still too high to be reachecd. Washoe found a 13 pole. Then she climbed onto the 14 , grasped the pole and 15 down the food with the pole.
Washoe 16 like a human, too. The scientists keep her in a fully furnished (家具齐全的) house. After a hard 17 in the laboratory, she goes home. 18 she plays with her toys.She 19 enjoys watching television before going to bed.

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. -------Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago I was studying in a public school in New York, One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neil gave an arithmetic 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 4 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neil 5 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 6 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O'Neill asked 7 questions, and she didn't 8 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 19 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 10 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don't 11 about, the other eleven boys. Speaking for 12 I can say: it was the most important single 13 of my life. Thirty years after being 14 to Macaulay's words, they 15 seem to me the best yardstick (准绳), because they give us a 16 to measure ourselves rather than others.
17 of us are asked to make 18 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 19 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 20 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 21 turned over to the policeman? Should the 22 change received at the store be forgotten or 23 ? Nobody will know except 24 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 25 to live with someone you respect.

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the 1 and have made up their minds to 2 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议) against heavy trucks which run 3 through the narrow High Street.
"They not only make it 4 to sleep at night, but they are 5 damage to our houses and shops of historical 6 ,"said John Norris, one of the protesters.
" 7 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads," said Jeans Lacey, a biology student, "why don't they build a new road that goes 8 the town? Burlington isn't much more than a 9 village. Its streets were never 10 for heavy traffic."
Harry Fields also studying 11 said they wanted to make as much 12 as possible to force the
13 to realise what everybody was having to 14 . "Most of them don't 15 here anyway," he said, "they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof (隔音), 16 they probably don't 17 the noise all that much. It's high time they realised the 18 ."
The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were 19 on their side,
and even if they weren't they soon would be.
20 asked if they were 21 that the police might come to 22 them.
"Not really.'' she said, "actually we are 23 bell-ringers. I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. There is no 24 against practising. "

My Experience in a Free School
At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 2 . Although we all lived "in", 3 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no "lights out".
The 4 thing was that practically, all the students went to class, 5 very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 6 class. The new ones always went wild 7 , but this never lasted long. The 8 took some getting used to. Our teachers
treated us like 9 ; never did we have to 10 "stand up", "sit down", "speak out". I don't 11 one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 12 school, but what a difference in the approach (方式)! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 13 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 14 two gardens,a vegetable garden and a flower garden. l5 in winter we each studeied a few 16 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms ---small ones. 17 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 18 time too, designing everything , drawing the blueprints, 19 the angles (角度) and so on.I didn't take 20 . I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's 21 !
22 I think I am a 23 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 24 between the free school and regular school---the amount of 25 .

I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely.

How could I ever 6 him to finish unloading the car 7 screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the 8 of the year with?

People do not analyse every problem they meet. sometimes they try to remember a solution
from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without 2 ; they try to find a solution by trial and error, 3 , when all of these methods 4 , the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six 5 in analysing a problem.
6 the person must recognise that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does.Sam must 7 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 8 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle,he must know why it does not work. For example, must 9 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 10 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 11 solutions. For example, suppose Sam 12 that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 13 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 14 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 15 the problem, the person should have 16 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 17 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 18 seems to be the solution 19 the problem. Sometimes the 20 idea comes quite 21 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 22 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 23 hits on the solution to his problem : he must 24 the brake.
Finally the solution is 25 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

(二十) Seas and Oceans
There is much more water than land on the surface of the earth. The seas and oceans 1 nearly four-fifths of the whole world, and only one fifth of 2 land. If you travelled over the earth 3 different directions. you would have to 4 much more of your time moving on water than on 5 or railways. We sometimes forget that for every mile of land there are 6 miles of water.
There is 7 much water on the surface of our earth that we have to use 8 to describe it. We use the word 9 to describe those parts of water surface which 10 only a few hundreds of miles wide, the word OCEANS to descrihe the 11 areas of water which are thousands of miles wide and very 12 .
A sea such as the Mediterranean provides an easy way of travelling from one 13 to
another. Ships are frequently crossing the small seas of the world in all directions. l4 separate the great continents. 15 steam ships were invented, a voyage across a wide ocean was a long and sometimes very 16 journey. Oceans have only been used 17 travel1ing and trading within 18 few hundred years. 19 now, ships use only those parts of oceans which provide the 20 way across. The other parts of oceans are very 21 visited.
You can understand 22 we don't know much about the oceans because of their huge 23 . Another reason why we know so 24 about them is because of their great depth. At the bottom of an ocean there is black darkness. 25 cannot reach the great depth.

Chinese students are generally fond to studying very, very hard for long hours. This is an excellent l . but it is often an inefficient (效率低的) way of study.

And it is necessary 4 you to see a film or visit some scenic spots(风景区) every 5 and then, when you 6 to your studies, your mind will be refreshed and you'll learn the most. Endless hours of nodding over your books are 7 effective than shorter and more active study session (课时).
Finally, be realistic (现实的). If you set 8 objects for yourself, you can only be disappointed in your progress.

9.答:C最佳【分析】从后文on his second 10 a passenger可得到这个正确答案应是C。意思是“他后来成为了一个公交车上的售票员”。本题通过率为49％。
10.答:A最佳【分析】on与day连用表示具体的一天。
11.答:B最佳【分析】由上所述可见他连邮递员这份工作也给失去了。这里even是副词用来加强语气。
12.答:C最佳【分析】这里说明前面提到失去邮递员工作的具体原因。本题区分度为0.279。
13.答:D最佳【分析】综上所述“看来对他来说没有合适的工作了。”本题通过率为41％。
14.答:D最佳【分析】因为要参军这是没有合适工作的结果，他才做出这样的决定，而不是要做什么允诺。故B不符题意，而D为最佳选项。本题区分度为0.346。
15.答:A最佳【分析】由后文Mrs. Fant的一番话是能表现出她当时是如此激动的样子。
16.答:C最佳【分析】这里是指Mrs．Fant告诉她所有的邻居她儿子要参军的这个消息。
17.答:B最佳【分析】考生可采用排除法得到这个答案。
18.答:C最佳【分析】when关系副词引导定语从句修饰先行词day。本题通过率为39％。
19.答:A最佳【分析】从前后文的意思可见母以子为自豪。B、C、D项不符文意。

21.答:D最佳【分析】前文The parade这个词分明是指土兵接受检阅的队伍，所以在此只有D为最佳选项。
22.答:A最佳【分析】couldn't help＋doing意为“抑止不住”。
23.答:B最佳【分析】从后文“shouted at the top of her voice”及“Is't he the best！”可见 Mrs Fant当时是很高兴的样子。

(十四) (NMET99)
1.答:D最佳当读到最后一句I left the church，便可知道。
2.答:C最佳【分析】从短文中的最后三句话中的bell-ringers和the sound of the bells ringing in mg ears便可选出C项此处是为“抗议”而“敲钟”。
3.答:B最佳【分析】从上文的to ring the bell nonstop for 2 weeks和下文to sleep at night可知。
4.答:B最佳【分析】从上文的protest（抗议）可知。
5.答:A最佳【分析】do damage to是惯用法,类似还有do wrong to，do harm to。
6.答:C最佳【分析】historical scene历史(事件发生的)地点,历史场面，然而houses/shops of hostorial scene在英文里说不通；historial period历史时期(阶段),但period为可数名词，在缺少冠词或其它限定词的情况下，语义不明；historial sense历史常识也不妥；只有of historial interest可以表示“从历史方面引起人们兴趣的”，名胜古迹应该是a place of（historical）interest。
7.答:A最佳【分析】从下why don't they build a new road…？可知，要提出假设。
8.答:D最佳【分析】从上文against heavy trucks which run day and night throgh the narrow High street.可知,这里一位抗议者在设想建一条新马路绕过这座城镇。
9.答:C最佳【分析】A项与此文无关。B项排除，因为该地区不静，重型卡车噪音太大。且从上下文看不出来这个village很现代化。为了强调它经不起heavy trucks的穿行，是要说明其“小”，not much more than a large village(比一个大村子大不了多少)。town与village的主要差别在其规模大小；quite或modern分别属于town和village各自的特征，都不是Jean Lacey想要突出强调的特征。
10.答:B最佳【分析】mean…for或 be meant for意为：打算作什么用，该句的意思是“村里的大街以前也从未交通拥挤过。”
11.答:C最佳【分析】上文有a biology student。“also”也可起重要的提示作用。
12.答:D最佳【分析】A项是可数名词，不能用much修饰。C项make trouble是捣乱的意思。本文是抗议heavy trucks来ring the bells nonstop，故wanted to make as much noise as possible to force…。
13.答:C最佳【分析】从后文they came in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof可获得信息。
14.答:A最佳【分析】说明他们尽可能制造更多的噪音来迫使政府官员们认识到每个人都在忍受什么。
15.答:B最佳【分析】从下文they came in for meetings可知他们不住在这里。
16.答:B最佳【分析】本题考查根据行文需要选择恰当的连词的能力，4各均为并列连词，把空前与空后分句所提供的信息结合到一起，应该选用表示“顺理成章”之意的so（therefore）上下文形成因果关系。
17.答:A最佳【分析】正因为他们不住在这，而且市政大厅又是隔音的，因此这些政府官员可能不会注意这种噪音的。
18.答:D最佳【分析】采取行动(action)的根本目的是要让那些officals(官员们)意识到卡车造成的噪音问题 (problem)了。
19.答:C最佳【分析】从下文even if they weren't they soon would be.可知,A项不符逻辑。B项也不符原文，D项应排除，因为学生们以前从来未举行过抗议，只这一次，故不能用usually。
20.答:A最佳【分析】从最后一句话中的I可知。
21.答:B最佳【分析】从下文的答语Not really, we are 48 bell-ringers可知他们不会害怕警察来。
22.答:D最佳析】有些考生误选了A(seize)占总数的24.3%，其主要原因是将seize一词简单对应与汉语中的“抓”(the police might come to seize them=警察会来抓他们？)事实上，真正理解掌握了seize的确切词义(=to take hold of eagerly, quickly, or forcefully),该词用在此处的不妥也就显而易见了。从下文可获得信息可知是表达警察会对敲钟人采取行动:stop sb. (from doing sth.) (“阻止某人干某事”)。
23.答:A最佳【分析】从下文的...we are assistant bell-ringers for the church,表明其身份的合法正当，也就是proper所表示的意思“真正的，实际的(real; actual)”可知。应该看到，后半句里的assistant和practising等词便能否定experienced的说法。
24.答:D最佳【分析】既然警察有可能来干预，他们已经为此找好理由，即没有法律是反对练习司铃的。
25.答:A最佳【分析】所有这一切都是作者“我”在church看到的，所以离开时，抗议的钟声还在响着。

14.答:A最佳【分析】“Plant”为“栽培”
15.答:B最佳【分析】由上下文可知。
16.答:D最佳【分析】既然用了“We each studied a few…”。就不仅仅要研究成功的（B.successful）而要研究“特别的”（D.particular）。
17.答:C最佳由“but usable”得知。
18.答:B最佳【分析】由下文“designing”，“drawing”，figuring out”得知，应选B。

21.答:C最佳【分析】“That's enough.”为总结性语句。
22.答:A最佳【分析 A. on the whole意为“总的说来”。
23.答:B最佳【分析】由下文“I can read…I can think better”得出。
24.答:C最佳【分析】“a real big difference between…”意为“在……中的巨大的差别。”
25.答:D最佳【分析】由上文“I think better”得知。
（十六）（NMET2000)
1.D最佳【分析】四个选项均为形容词，都可以填在句中作表语，但上文 I climbed the stairs slowly，carrying a big suitcase及By the time I got to the third floor等信息表明，作者爬到三楼时已经很疲倦了，故填tired。
2.C最佳【分析】空白后的并列谓语fell已暗示出，父亲上楼时失足了，动词短语miss a step是“失足”、“踩滑”的意思。
3.A最佳【分析】短文首句中 my father following with two more叙述了跟随作者上楼的父亲还帮她提着两个手提箱。再根据上文Dad missed a step and fell可以推断出，父亲跌倒后必然失手使得箱子滚下楼梯。send sth. doing表示“使得……行动起来”，是send后跟复合宾语的句型，其后用现在分词作宾语补足语表示正在进行的动作，故此空应填rolling。
4.C最佳【分析】四个选项的名词都可以作从句的主语，但所表达的意思不同：suffering遭难，痛苦；difficulty困难；trouble麻烦；danger危险。上文叙述了父亲送女儿上楼并不顺利，爬到三楼遇到了麻烦。再根据下文作者的体验Whenever Dad's face turns red，look out！可以确定此空应填trouble，父亲的脸变红则预兆着前边还会出现其它麻烦，要当心。全文叙述了父亲送女儿上大学上楼找房间的经过，不可能出现什么痛苦或危险的情况。
5.B最佳【分析】四个选项均为短语动词，但所表达的意思不同：go ahead前进，先走；look out当心，提防；hold on坚持，不挂断电话；give up放弃。根据上文I knew troube was ahead的语境可以推断出，此空应填look out。这句是说：“每当父亲脸变红的时候，要当心”，以免出现其它的麻烦。
6.D最佳【分析】四个选项的动词都可以接不定式作宾语补足语，但只有get是表示使役动词的意思，get sb. to do sth.表示“使某人做某事”。由下文without screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls可以判断出，此空应填get。该疑问句表现出作者思考怎样使父亲卸完车，在其他女同学面前不向作者尖叫及大吵、大闹的焦虑心情。
7.B最佳【分析】上文叙述了父亲上楼失足后因畏惧发出了尖叫声，“Damn！he screamed．再根据空白前疑问句How could I ever get him to finish unloading the car的语境可以判断出，作者不希望父亲卸车时发出尖叫和吵闹，故填介词without。
8.D最佳【分析】上文叙述了作者的父亲送其女儿上大学，作者将在学校里自然要和其她的女同学在一起度过一年中其余的时间，故此空应填名词rest，意为“其余”。
9.A最佳【分析】四个选项的介词短语所表达的意思不同：with difficulty困难地；in a hurry匆忙； with firm steps迈着坚定的步伐；in wonder惊奇地。读了上文 I climbed the stairs slowly，carrying a big suitcase. mg father following with two more.就不难判断出答案为A。
10.C最佳【分析】上文叙述了父亲上楼失足，提箱从楼梯滚落下来，父亲发出尖叫声，每当父亲脸变红则预示着要当心。从作者的观点来看，这一系列的不祥之事，预兆着作者的大学生活将是一个糟糕的开端，故填bad。
11.B最佳【分析】四个选项的动词填入空白处，句型结构都正确，但下文中作者的想法“Get him into a chair and calmed down.”表明，作者想尽快找到自已居住的房间，以便让父亲坐在椅子上安静下来。Find意为“找到”，为最佳答案。
12.D最佳【分析】由空白前But所表示的转折意义判断，作者对自己要住的房间究竟有什么设备，里边是否有椅子或根本就是一个空房间，心里全然没有数，故此空应填then again，意为“另外”、“再者”，表现了作者思考问题的全面性。
13.B最佳【分析】该段的后两间表现了作者的疑虑。第一问是：要住的房间里会有椅子吗？由表示选择意义的or可以判断出，后一问怀疑这是一个空房间，故此空应填empty。
14.A最佳【分析】四个选项的副词和短语都可以作时间状语，但根据上文叙述的父亲送女儿上大学，由父亲卸车。上楼时失足跌倒。失声尖叫、脸色变红提示当心，到作者想尽快找到自己的房间，让父亲坐在椅子上安静下来。经历了这一系列的事情之后，作者终于找到了自己的房间，开锁推门进去。故此空应填Finally，意思是“终于”、“最后”，用来表示顺序，引出最后一项内容。
15.C最佳【分析】四个选项均为及物动词的过去式，但根据常识，开门的时候，总是用钥匙先开锁，然后把门推开，故此空应填pushed，在句中作并列的谓语。pushed the door open是push带复合宾语的句型，其中open是形容词作宾语补足语表示状态。
16.D最佳【分析】“with十复合宾语”结构在句中作状语表示伴随动作，其中complaining是现在分词作宾语补足语，表示一个持续进行的动作。故此空应填副词still，作“仍然”、“还”解，用来描述动作的持续。
17.A最佳【分析】由But表示的转折意义及下文作者看到的吃惊情况the room wasn't empty at all ! It had furniture，curtains，a TV，and even paintings on the walls.可以判断出，原来作者把头伸进房间，是从最坏处着想，预料房间里一无所有，故此空应填最高级形容词worst。
18.C最佳【分析】作者把头伸进房问所看到的情况与原来所想恰恰相反。此情此景自然使作者感到吃惊了，故此空应填surprise。“to one's+感情名词”结构，意为“使人……的是”，在句中作状语表示结果，而句中的主谓部分则是产生这种结果的原因。
19.A最佳【分析】四个选项均为表示人的名词，填入空白作Amy的同位语，语法都正确。但是结合上又中Finally I turned the key in the lock and pushed the door open及And there on a well-made bed sat Amy这两处信息，可以判断出Amy将是和作者住在同室的同学，故填roommate。
20.B最佳【分析】根据空白后并列的谓语looked over at Dad可作出正确判断。Amy在点头欢迎作者并向作者谈话之后，只有调低音乐的音量，才能聚精会神地打量作者的父亲，故填短语动词tumed down，意思是“调低”、“关小”。
21.A最佳【分析】上文叙述了作者的父亲上楼帮其女儿运送物品，根据文中Greeting me with a nod，she said in a soft voice，“Hi，you must be Cori.”可以判断出作者名叫Cori。然后再根据Amy说的话And of course，you're Mr. Faber.可以推测出Amy说话时在细看作者的父亲，故此空填Dad。
22.C最佳【分析】由Amy对作者及作者父亲谈话时能说出他们的名字可以断定，她是知道他们的。根据上下文的语境，Amy对于同室的同学的父亲谈话时应是面带笑容，故此空填smiling，现在分词短语表示伴随动作。
23.C最佳【分析】前文叙述了父亲送女儿上楼时遇到了麻烦，“Damn！he screamed，his face turning red．则表现出父亲不畅的心情。女儿终于找到了自己的房间，并见到了将在同室居住的学友，此时作者父亲的心情已经轻松多了。再根据Amy向作者的父亲献殷勤的话语Would you like a glass of iced tea？ 可以判断出此空应填less red，表示父亲不快的心情正在逐渐好转。
24.D最佳【分析】作者进入所住的房间后，遇到了同室居住的新同学Amy，初次见面留下了美好的印象。此时作者意识到Amy and I would be friends，故此空应填then，意为“当时”。
25.B最佳【分析】四个选项均为表示不同身份人的名词，这里是说作者与Amy的关系。由上文And there on a well-made bed sat Amy，my new roommate，dressed neatly.以及Amy对作者父女的友好态度，可以确定，此空应填friends，作者和Amy将成为在同室居住的大学生活的朋友。
（十七）（NMET2001春招）
1.答:C最佳【分析】从前一句可知，人们只是记住与上次相似的问题的解决办法而不去分析问题。故选C。
2.答:B最佳【分析】有些人有些时候听别人的建议，有些时候根本不动脑就去做事情，without thinking就是“不思考，不动脑筋”。
3.答:D最佳【分析】承接上句话，他们通过一些不正确的途径寻找到一些解决办法。然而，一旦这些办法都不行的时候，人们才开始主动地去分析、思考来找到解决办法。
4.答:A最佳【分析】参看第3题。these methods fail表示“这些办法不奏效”。
5.答:C最佳【分析】参看第3题。当人们主动地去分析问题时，通常有6个步骤，stage作“步骤”讲。

11.答:A最佳【分析】参看第10题。
12.答:C最佳【分析】decide意为“确定下来，查找出来”。
13.答:D最佳【分析】承接上文，已经查找出是车闸有问题，“这时”他需要去做具体的工作了。
14.答:B最佳【分析】talk to表示“询问，咨询”之意，这只是一种间接手段，不能依赖他的朋友。
15.答:D最佳【分析】到此为止，此人都在对其遇到的问题进行“琢磨、研究”。故选D。
16.答:C最佳【分析】研究到此，这个人必定有了好几个提示或方案并从中确定一个可能的解决办法。

25.答:C最佳【分析】tested意为“被验证”，通过事实验证了此方法的实效。
(十八)(NMET2001)
1.B最佳【分析】抓住第一段去理解。此处显然指关于雪人的传说（story），而且下文第三段有… the story of the Yetis…。event事件，adventure冒险，description描述，描绘。
2. D最佳【分析】根据下一句中“in the 1920s…可知，有关snowman的传说大约有80年，用many years符合语境。
3.C最佳【分析】know of 听说，了解；hear from“收到某人的来信”；care for“喜欢，照料；”read about读到有关……的报道”。
4.A最佳【分析】even一词在完形填空中出现的频率极高、意思是“甚至”，强调特殊性。“当地人不仅听说过Yetis，而且说他们甚至抓到过”。其他选项意思不符。
5.B最佳【分析】though“虽然”。根据前后两句之间的逻辑关系去理解，此处合转折的意思。
6.D最佳【分析】continued“继续，延续”。“这些年来，有关Yetis的传说一直没有中断。
7.D最佳【分析】simply含义相当于only，“仅仅”。
8.C最佳【分析】此题难度较大。选项B.declared一词干扰性很大。“Shipton认为它们不仅仅是猴子或熊的脚印，而且认为the Abominable Snowman可能真的存在。”declare“表明，声明，申述”，含有“毫不怀疑地申述”的意思，由此句中情态动词might的含义（表示可能性极小）可知，declare不符合语境。
9.A最佳【分析】exist“存在”。
10.B最佳【分析】做此题不能孤立去分析，而应联系前一句去理解。由前句“Further”一词可知，此处应该用比较级“more”。“付出更大的努力去寻找Yetis，但是人们找到的唯一踪迹只是更多的脚印”。若不联系上下文，此题很容易误选C.possible。
11.C最佳【分析】ordinary“普通的，平常的”，“大多数人相信这些脚印仅仅是普通动物的踪迹。
12.B最佳【分析】根据常识，雪地上动物的脚印，雪融化后，自然会变大。
13.D最佳【分析】however副词，“然而”。根据行文逻辑去理解：前面讲到有关Yetis的证据只是一些动物的脚印，后面提到一位俄罗斯科学家说，雪人是真的且与史前的人类有某种联系，前后具有明显的转折含义。
14.B最佳【分析】由13空所选however可知。
15.C最佳【分析】again“又一次，再一次”。前面不止一次提到有关雪人的传说没有确切证据，尤其是第二段最后一句“…none has ever been produced as evidence.”
16.B最佳【分析】actually“实际上，事实上”。
17.C最佳【分析】take…seriously指“拿……当真”，“认为……是真的。
18.A最佳【分析】succeed in doing sth.相当于manage to do sth，“成功地做成某件事”。
19.D最佳【分析】受中文思维的干扰易误选A。联系下一句，“他们会把它放进动物园，还是旅馆的房间呢？”，这也许是他们面临的一个真正的问题（problem）。
20.A最佳【分析】此处根据上下文及常识，很容易判断选A.Zoo（动物园）。
(十九)
1.D最佳【分析】首句交代Billy是一中学生，所以推断出他只能是“半工半读”。
2.D最佳【分析】从下文看,Billy五点一刻出门,那么五点钟只会是“起床”的时间,不可能干其它三项事的。

18.C最佳【分析】顾客们有许多是白天上班的。
19.B最佳【分析】与上文during the day相对照。
20.A最佳【分析】从全文可知Billy是个好报童，只有“生病”才可能是他中断送报的原因。
21.C最佳【分析】第二段中已有提示。
22.B最佳【分析】认为已有70名顾客还不够…… ，此处为转折语气。
23.C最佳【分析】more，后为复数名同customers，故用many。
24.A最佳【分析】最后这两句说明，Billy如当上an outstanding newspaper boy （最佳报童），则可能得到a prize:可能是a trip to Europe，也可能是a new bicycle。
25.D最佳【分析】此处并非确定，只是假设。
(二十)
1.B最佳【分析】cover意为“覆盖” 。
2.C最佳【分析】需要辨清本句结构：“only one-fifth”与前面“four-fifths” 均指所占the whole world之比例，此空中应是指代the world之词，显然是单数，可排除A；本句and之后为一并列句，需选it作其主语，又因前者为“…of”，此处也不宜用缩写形式it's。
3.A最佳【分析】“朝着……的方向”为in …direction（s）。
4.D最佳【分析】注意动词句型。
5.B最佳【分析】与on water相对应，表示“走陆路”。

8.D最佳【分析】本句提示全段大意，这里指本段下文中的SEAS和OCEANS。
9.C最佳【分析】根据本文标题，全文中心及本句暗示。
10.B最佳【分析】先行词是parts，再根据本空后的内容（…miles wide）。
11.D最佳【分析】显然是“大”，huge（＝very big）更恰当。
12.A最佳【分析】wide和deep是ocean的两大特点，以下两段都将分别阐述。
13.C最佳【分析】地中海为旅行所提供的方便主要是“国际”之间，而非“洲际”；此处指地理位置，不指政体（state）或人民（nation）。
14.D最佳【分析】由后接动词（separate）形式可确定空中为复数名词，又根据上文所说“海”“洋”之别。
15.A最佳【分析】by不引导从句，排除B;C与时态不符；D与文意不符。
16.B最佳【分析】根据常识。
17.A最佳【分析】be used for，“用于……”。
18.C最佳【分析】the last（＝most recent），“近几百年来”。
19.B最佳【分析】航海选近路，现今仍如此。

24.D最佳【分析】“知之甚少”。
25.C最佳【分析】此句交待上句的原因。
(二十一)
l.B最佳【分析】根据短文首句we were late as usual。可作出正确判断，作者的丈夫非常固
执，坚持要单独给花浇水。insist on表示“坚持”，后跟动名词作宾语。
2.A最佳【分析】空白处应填入一从属连词引导时间状语从句，表示“当……的时候”。因从句中动
词discovered为终止性动词，故用when而不用while引导。
3.D最佳【分析】时间状语从句when he discovered that he couldn't manage表明，作者的丈夫发现时间来不及，自然会向妻子请求帮助。
4.C最佳【分析】下文We checked in and went straight to a big hall to wait for our flight to be called．及the plan hadn't even arrived yet已作出暗示，作者夫妇是去机场乘飞机。
5.C最佳【分析】在否定句中表示列举，须用并列连词。or来连接。
6.C最佳【分析】be able to do sth．表示“能够做某事”。该分句的意思可由一个并列分句Luckily there were not many cars or buses on the road作出正确判断。
7.B最佳【分析】作者夫妇到机场去乘飞机，自然在机场等候的是他们要乘的航班。
8.B最佳【分析】空白前后的并列分句所表示的是转折关系，故此空应填表示转折意义的并列连词but。
9.D最佳【分析】由上文We waited and waited but no announcement was made．可知，班机未到，作者夫妇需要了解的应是有关班机飞行的信息。
10.C最佳【分析】上文wait for our flight to be called 及 We asked for information表明，未到的自然是飞机了。
11.C最佳【分析】wait for表示“等待”是固定的动词短语，此处现在分词短语waiting for Flight JJ 108作后置定语，修饰不定代词those。
12.C最佳【分析】根据生活常识，航空公司在航班延误时，须向乘客提供免费食宿，free意为“免费的”。
13.A最佳【分析】介词for表示原因。
14.D最佳【分析】空白前的meant意为“意味着”，表示肯定意义时，其后的宾语从句须用连词that引导。
15.C最佳【分析】上文the plane hadn't left Spain for technical problems已暗示出，飞机出了机械故障，会对飞行安全构成威胁。
16.A最佳【分析】下文This time we were given free vouchers to spend the night in a nearby hotel.表明，作者夫妇等候航班一直等到夜晚。
17.B最佳【分析】作者夫妇是航空公司提供免费住宿动作的承受者，故用被动语态。
18.B最佳【分析】根据生活常识，航空公司为方便乘客，一般都在机场附近旅馆安排乘客过夜。
19.A最佳【分析】夜间伴有飞机起飞、降落的噪音，自然是“a bad night”。
20.C 最佳【分析】动词短语take off 意为“（飞机）起飞，”taking off和 landing为并列的现在分词短语在句中作宾语补足语。
21.A最佳【分析】空白处应填一个表示未知的，既能引导宾语从句，又能在从句中充当主语的连接代词，只有what能充当此任，故为最佳选择。
22.C最佳【分析】上文This time we were given free vouchers to spend the night in a nearby hotel.描述了作者夫妇在机场附近的旅馆过夜。作者睡着时，他们要乘坐的飞机已经降落又起飞，其他乘客都走了，他们自然感到莫名其妙。
23.C最佳【分析】根据上文Our plane had arrived and taken off again.乘飞机的人自然是乘客。
24.C最佳【分析】to catch the plane是“赶上飞机”的意思。
25.D最佳【分析】上文叙述了All the other passengers had been woken up in the night to catch the plane,由but所表示的转折意义及短文尾句You can imagine how we felt!可以推断出，作者夫妇是没赶上飞机，成了被遗忘的人。

9.A最佳【分析】要攻破要塞，必须“得’”夺取该镇。

12.D最佳
13.D最佳。
11---13，口信体现了人道主义，要求“拥护”英军的“市民们”“立即”到要塞去，其余的呆在“家里”，以免引起伤亡。
14.B最佳【分析】四个动词中，只有“告诫”合情合理。
15.A最佳【分析】美军士兵在Vincennes四周的“群山”中进进出出，因此，其余地点不合理。
16.D最佳【分析】 by order of意为“受……之命”。其余意思不合题意，故只能是D。

2.B最佳【分析】文章没有提到他们的生活如何，所以，描绘生活好坏的词语应加以排除。
3.C最佳【分析】四个词虽都可以与in连用，但是意思不同。move in表示“搬家”，“迁入新居”，是不及物动词短语；succeed in“成功地做某事”，其后通常接动名词作宾语；give in“屈服”，是不及物动词短语；live in“住在某地”，in是介词，其后应接宾语。
4.D 最佳【分析】leave him some money“给他留了一笔钱”。
5.D最佳
6.C最佳
7.B最佳

(二十四)
本文概述：一名警察在路旁发现一妇女神志恍惚，赶紧把她送往最近的一家医院。在医院里她向值班医生讲述了发生在她身上一次离奇的经历：她正驾车行驶在一条乡间公路上，被一飞碟拦住了去路。飞碟里面像人一样的动物让她走下车，进人飞碟。在飞碟里面他们对她进行了大量的测试，然后把她放走。在医院里，经过医生的检查，没发现异常。根据她讲述的地址，警察帮助她寻找家，此时她丈夫在四处寻找她，并以为她失踪了。
1.B最佳【分析】根据前后语境，排除C、D，but的转折语意告诉我们B答案是正确的。A答案中的（have）a rest在语意上与后面的but不形成转折。
2.D最佳【分析】根据语境和生活常识应为D，在生活中，若在路上遇到生病的人应即刻把她（他）送往最近的一家医院，不应为其它三个答案。
3.D最佳【分析】根据下文所讲述的“She had been stopped by the flying saucer．She had been forced to leave her car and enter the flying saucer．They had carried out a number of tests on her．”等可推知，她所讲述的这一经历应是“令人吃惊的”，故选D。
4.A最佳【分析】下文中的“She had been forced to leave he car．”已明确告诉我们A答案是正确的。
5.C最佳【分析】这是一典型的句式结构，when在此相当于at that time。例如:We were to start out when it began to rain.我们正要出发，这时天开始下雨了。
6.D最佳【分析】根据语境应为“降落在她面前”，故选D。
7.A最佳【分析】根据下文中的“and allowed her to leave after carying out a number of tests on her．故选A。
8.C最佳 9.D最佳【分析】两题选项是相辅相成的，即“尽管他们不能讲话，但能使他们被她所明白”。故分别选C、D。
10.B最佳【分析】根据“They could read her thoughts and she could read．”此句的对等关系，故选B。
11.A最佳【分析】根据上文中的“She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer…，故应选A。
12.D最佳【分析】由于句中有otherwise这一转折词，所以应选D。
13.B最佳【分析】由于检查的情况是“normal 和side effects of some medicine。故应选 B。
14.D最佳。
15.D最佳。
16.B最佳【分析】语境表明，有人已经在找这位妇女，即为a search for”，表示“寻找”。故选 B。
17.C最佳。
18.A最佳。
19.B最佳【分析】由于上文有“… she had been stopped by a flying saucer in front of her．”这样一语境，从这里可知，飞碟落在了车前面，所以应是车前面的路被毁。故选B。
20.C最佳【分析】由于这是一种推断，故应选C。
(二十五)
1.A最佳【分析】此题很容易误选C项。通过下一句But he loved his father…及后文得知，Jeremy不忍心猎杀野鸭，但同时又很爱父亲，不想扫父亲的兴，故选A。
2.D 最佳
3.C 最佳
4.D最佳【分析】please vt.意为：“取悦于某人”，“让某人高兴”。
5.D 最佳【分析】ease vt.意为：减轻，为easy的动词形式。如：Take this medicine; it will ease the pain.（把这药吃下去，它会镇痛。）
6.C 最佳
7.B最佳
8.B最佳
9.A最佳【分析】此题难度较大。give you the word意为“向你发令”，“让你开枪”。
10.A最佳【分析】Jeremy由于害怕，心在狂跳。
11.D最佳【分析】由下句He stood up，leaned into the gun…得知，Jeremy听到父亲的号令，不由自主地做出父亲教给他的射击动作，故选D。
12.C最佳
13.A最佳【分析】在Jeremy即将扣动扳机的时刻，野鸭看见猎手惶恐而飞。就在这霎那间Jeremy心情极为矛盾，生命与死亡的意识在心中交织。
14.C最佳【分析】Jeremy情不由己，终于没有开枪呆呆站在那里一动不动。
15.C对儿子的做法父亲大为恼火。
16.A最佳【分析】lovely一词道出心中情结，至此Jeremy再也控制不住痛苦的心情。
17.A最佳【分析】Jeremy爱父亲，非常想让父亲高兴，但此时一切希望成为泡影。
18.C最佳
19.A最佳【分析】父亲沉默不语，为下文的情感变化做铺垫。
20.C最佳【分析】此题易选A。由上文Jeremy sat down，face buried in his hands and wept得知，Jeremy坐在海滩上掩面哭泣，举起手不合情理，因而答案为C。lower意为“放下”。
21.B最佳【分析】由下文得知，Jeremy应是抬头看。文章至此，笔锋陡然一转，结局意想不到。父亲深深为儿子所感动，递给儿子的不再是gun，而是camera。父子情深，跃然纸上。
22.D 最佳
23.D 最佳
24.C 最佳
25.B最佳
(二十六)

4.D最佳【分析】第四段开头讲到 on Saturdny。
5.C 最佳
6.C最佳【分析】下一句用到kind。
7.B 最佳
8.B 最佳【分析】keep one’s word意为信守诺言。
9.D最佳【分析】第十空那句讲到一根绳子把猫系到驴尾巴上。
10.A最佳【分析】下文讲到cat。
11.C最佳【分析】 tie… to…的搭配。
12.C最佳【分析】他认为肯定不会有人愿买他的驴了，所以显得很镇静。
13.B 最佳
14.C最佳【分析】下文紧接着说的是一件事而不是一个问题等。
15.D最佳【分析】part意为separate（分开）。
16.B买驴的人也得买猫。他也搞起商品搭配销售了。
17.A最佳【分析】人的说话声用voice．
18.D最佳【分析】下文讲到这猫的父、母亲怎样怎样，她是a great cat，故此处用important为妥。
19.B 最佳
20.C最佳【分析】与上文的a king相对。
(二十七)
1.D最佳【分析】the mountain top应在平地上的村民们的上方，故用up。
2.B最佳【分析】从下文可以知道，很少有登攀者登临山顶，可见山峰很高，已不可能有花草树木；如若仅是rocks也并不beautiful，故应为ice and snow，在阳光下熠熠生光，既美丽又危险。
3.C登攀者曾使用南山坡的路线到达山顶。
4.D最佳【分析】与southern相对。
5.A最佳【分析】前二句讲到前人爬山都走南路，而不爬北路，就是因为其更为艰难险阻，另外15空后面一句讲到the climb was painful，可见A项比B项好。
6.C最佳【分析】焦虑地看着他。
7.D 最佳
8.B最佳9.A最佳【分析】这二题的选择须联系到下一小节的内容。点亮绿色信号则继续爬山，红色信号则下山回来。
10.B
11.A最佳【分析】绿灯亮了，Bonatti将继续爬山，山下的人们为之欢欣鼓舞。注意第10题不能选A，因从上下文内容看他不是发射信号弹。
12.C 最佳
13.C最佳【分析】本句开头用again。
14.D最佳【分析】后面一句为could not see the top，所以此处指抬头看。
15.B最佳【分析】注意but一词表示转折，虽看不到山顶，但他知道已接近了。
16.A最佳【分析】下句有the training。
17.B最佳【分析】这道题许多学生选A，这是错的。注意前二句中的training。训练是解决技巧问题而不是勇气问题。
18.A最佳【分析】本题不少学生选C，也是错的。他现在已到顶了，登攀成功了，故电台报道他成功的喜讯。若用C项则不知成功与否。
19.C 最佳
20.D最佳【分析】这个词上加了引号，表示前人认为不可能的事。
(二十八)
1.A最佳【分析】从下面二句看，父亲许诺女儿两件事。
2.C最佳【分析】not…unless的搭配。
3.A最佳【分析】本文最后一句给此空作了提示。
4.D最佳【分析】start out出发。
5.B注意其后有in a boat beside her，故排除A、C、D。
6.D最佳【分析】 trod water是因为她要喝水进食。
7.C最佳【分析】注意其后有the sea became rougher，故应为风力增强。
8.A最佳【分析】此时已是下午了。
9.C最佳【分析】It's useless doing的句式。如用impossible，则后面该用to try。
10.B最佳
11.D最佳【分析】若要表示“在……的条件下”介词用under，故不能选B。
12.B最佳【分析】让她继续下去。
13.B最佳【分析】用against表示“顶着”、“逆着”。
14.A最佳【分析】从前后二句看她已知道胜利在望了。
15.A最佳【分析】the English Channel两岸的国家是英、法。B、C、D中无France，可见她是在法国那一边下水，终点为英国。
16.C最佳【分析】上文讲到有大风。
17.D 最佳
18.D最佳【分析】她于早晨7:09下水（第二段），共游了十四小时三十分钟（本空格之后），相加即得出到达时间。
19.B最佳【分析】cross为“横穿、横渡”之意。
20.C最佳【分析】海峡宽21英哩，她却游了35英哩，是“因为…… ”，故不能选A。
(二十九)
l.A最佳【分析】way与means都指方法，way既可指具体的方法，也可指抽象的方式，用得最广，而且下文又有an inefficient way of study，可以知道此处用way较好。means虽然也指“方法”，但它指与目的相对立而存在着的手段，尤其指采用整套的方法。
2.D最佳【分析】从量的角度考虑。只有enough最为适合。
3.C最佳【分析】do something you find……中，you find是一个定语从句。relaxing也作后置定语，修饰something。relaxithe指“使人放松的”。如果选relaxed，虽然也可以作后置定语，但是relaxed是修饰“人”的，指“（人）感到放松的”，用于此处不妥。
4.B最佳
5.A最佳
6.C最佳【分析】此处由上下文的学习过程即：“学习——放松——再学习”推断而来的。
7.D最佳
8.C最佳【分析】set objects指“确定目标”。
9.B最佳【分析】found out指通过研究、观察或调查而发现无形的和隐藏的事情，其后是that宾语从句。find指“找到”，多指找到具体事物。所以此处选B。
10.A最佳【分析】like this way指“象这种方法”，in this way指“用这种方法”。如果不看上下文，似乎二者都行。仔细分析上文：心理学家研究后“建议”应如此学，而并非必须如此学。从语气看，like this way更好些。
11.D最佳【分析】此处易混的是looks to stay与seem to stay。指“好象”时，多指给人眼睛的感觉，而且眼睛看起来怎样，往往实际上也如此；seem常指给人内心的感觉。据此选D较好。
12.C 最佳
13.A 最佳
14.C最佳【分析】days or even weeks指“数天或数周”，是一个不肯定的说法。如果说days and weeks，则时间概念明显不清。
15.C最佳【分析】此处如果用lose heart也对，但不能用lost heart，因为其前有must。
16.D最佳【分析】因为上文有you make such great progress that you feel very happy一句，可暗示学习上的第一次飞跃。但学习并未固定就只有两次飞跃，所以舍B选D。
17.B最佳【分析】all time“一直，并无间断”；at times “有时”，中间可以有间断。
18.C最佳【分析】be like to do指“好象就要……”，like是形容词。
19.C最佳
20.A最佳
(三十)
l.C最佳【分析】be important to sb．指“对某人来说是重要的”。
2.A最佳【分析】make use of“利用”，是固定搭配。
3.D最佳【分析】前文的man是单数形式表示复数概念，指“人类”，应选his与之搭配。注意his也是单数形式复数概念。
4.B最佳【分析】in a…way或in…ways指“以……方法”，是习惯用法。
5.B最佳【分析】分析此句，能和with搭配使用的选项只有provide。provide sb．with sth.指给sb提供sth.”。
6.C最佳【分析】从句意分析，此句中的would be是虚拟语气，表示“如果没有树，……，是不可能的”。而事实恰好与之相反。据此可知without trees含有条件意味，是介词短语作状语。如选A，No trees是名词短语。如选B，Unless后要接从句。所以A与B在语法上都不通。Not having trees只能作分词短语表示原因，此处逻辑不通。
7.A最佳【分析】在 it＋be＋impossible＋to do…句型中，it是形式主语，to do不定式是真正主语。据此可以排除C和D。build与found虽然都含有“建造”之意，但found指“（用基金等）创立或设立组织或机关等”。如：found a school“创立学校”。build指“建造”具体的建筑物。如build a school指“（用砖瓦等）建学校”。所以选A。
8.B最佳
9.B最佳【分析】throughout the year指 一年到头，all，whole与entire虽然都含有“都”之意，但要说all the year，the whole year与the entire year。
10.C最佳【分析】protect…from…指“保护……避开……”。
11.A 最佳
12.C 最佳
13.B最佳【分析】no…or…指“既没有…… ，也没有……；no…and…指“并非既没有……也没有……”。从文意看是“如果既没有树也没有植被来用根固定土壤，大雨便会冲走泥土。”之意，所以选B。
14.B 最佳
15.B 最佳
16.A 最佳
17.D最佳【分析】此处的useless and unproductive与上文互为因果。
18.D最佳【分析】从下文的过去式判断，时间应是“很久以前”，所以选ago。
19.B最佳【分析】从时间关系和主语的复数形式便可以判断排除A、C与D，选B。must have十过去分词是表示从目前对过去的推测，指“过去一定……。又如：The ground is so wet，it must have rained last night.（地面很湿，昨晚一定下雨了。）
20.D最佳
21.B最佳【分析】从上下文分析，今天的沙漠是由无知的古代人滥砍树木造成的。上下文构成直接的因果关系，因此第20空宜选语气最强的because。
22.C 最佳
23.D最佳【分析】据下文的blew暗示，可以知道应用winds。
24.B最佳【分析】land指“陆地”，soil指“土壤”或“植物生长的土地”。earth指“地球”或“泥土（＝soil）。因为上文有strong winds blew away the soil一句，可以推断既然soil已经被风吹走，此处当然不能再用soil，因此剩下的就只有“光秃秃的陆地”了，据此选land最佳。
25.B最佳【分析】既然没有了soil，当然也就什么都不能生长了。
(三十一)
1.A最佳【分析】通读全文可知，惟有出席“party”才能有事后的醉酒。
2.B最佳【分析】由句意可知，父亲“担忧”儿子撞路障被罚。
3.D最佳【分析】reach an agreement意为“达成协定”。父亲允许儿子用车，但要以儿子不饮酒为条件。
4.D最佳【分析】由attempted to drive home可推知，尽管儿子“酩酊大醉”，还想开车回家。
5.B最佳【分析】由于撞了路障，他被警察从车里叫出来，站在一队人之间，接受醉酒程度的测试。若选stop，则成为the car stand in a line of people，不合情理。
6.B最佳【分析】由上下文语境可知。
7.C最佳【分析】miss sb out意为“漏掉了某人”。
8.D最佳【分析】因为A、B、C三项皆不能用现在分词做补足语，只有lrave可以。He was left standing off to the side意为“让他站在一边”。
9.A最佳【分析】而其他人正让警察看看他们是如何能笔直地向前走，以示不醉。
10.B最佳【分析】walk a straight line“走直线”。
11.C最佳【分析】根据语境暗示，警察应近在门前。
12.B最佳【分析】由最后一段中的the four of them可知，他们共四人。除去他们父子两人外，另两人是警察。
13.D最佳【分析】that red FIAT是the father's car，故the father为车主。
14.B最佳【分析】find oneself in someplace意为“自己不知不觉地处于某地”。
15.C最佳【分析】站在警察面前，自然预感到不妙。
16.C最佳【分析】此外questioning出于警察之口，有“询问、审问”之意，所以就有后面的admitted与其照应。
17.C最佳【分析】问他之前是否一直饮酒。
18.A最佳【分析】他也记不得车开哪儿了。选drive照应了前面的“ car”。
19.C最佳【分析】由上文所提示的时间可知：车是晚上开的。
20.C最佳【分析】用排除法可得此选项。文中没有对车的具体描述，故谈不上similar和familiar。而D项damaged是“损坏”之意，开损坏了的车不合情理。把警车开家来，足见其醉的程度。
(三十二)
1.A最佳【分析】通读全文可知，本文讲述一位慈爱但又家境桔据的母亲为女儿的婚礼攒钱的故事。母亲传给她的jewellery是张太太拥有的唯一值钱的东西。故选A。
2.B最佳【分析】语气转折。
3.A最佳【分析】上文讲靠出售jewellery而得到一半的钱，本句应表达还有一半到哪里去搞到，而不是借或挣。
4.C最佳【分析】给别人打扫屋子（来挣钱）。
5.A最佳【分析】stay up意为熬夜。熬夜给别人缝制衣服挣钱。
6.B最佳【分析】给穿过村子的游客绣花挣钱。
7.A 最佳

9.B最佳【分析】由上文可知母亲很忙。

11.A最佳【分析】由最后一段可知，另外一件好礼物不是某件物品而是弟弟David来参加婚礼，故不能选B、C、D三个选项。
12.C最佳【分析】由下文he lent her the money可知，这里要表达借钱的意思。
13.A 最佳
14.C最佳【分析】张太太从来没有来借过钱，故她的亲戚很奇怪。

6.A最佳
7.B最佳【分析】由第9空后的silent可知没有讲话，故不宜选D。
8.A最佳
9.C最佳【分析】由下句可知他仍然谈论他的朋友，故原以为他要停止谈论这个话题是错了。
10.B 最佳
11.C最佳【分析】不仅是个很出色的网球运动员，而且拥有自己的私人网球场。这里应表示进一步的意思。
12.D最佳【分析】语气转折。
13.C 最佳
14.C最佳【分析】注意后半句有than，故用比较级。又下半句说他不了解任何别的人。故此处应说多，而不是少，排除D项。
15.B最佳
16.A最佳
17.B最佳【分析】我的邻居去年夏天去了Sacramento且租住在我兄弟的隔壁。这样才能与上文所提他的朋友构成巧合。
18.A最佳【分析】下一句说谁也没有讲话，故此处应是互相看着。
19.B最佳【分析】前一句是我问了他的朋友的名字，故这句应是他问我的兄弟的名字了。
20.C最佳【分析】turn在此为“轮流、轮到”之意。这次轮到我笑了。
(三十四)
1.C最佳【分析】放低书的高度。注意第二段第一句有lower his book again之说。

9.C最佳
10.D最佳【分析】由下句内容可见光点仍在那里。
11.D最佳【分析】由19空那句可见，那是一条蛇，故光点不可能变得更大或更宽等，而只能是更亮。
12.B最佳【分析】at first意为“起初、开始时”。他起初所没有看到的那绿莹莹的光。
13.C空格前有moved a little，故此处应为“近一点儿了”。
14.A最佳【分析】nature在此意为“本质”，即指那光点原是蛇的眼睛这一本质尚未暴露。
15.C最佳【分析】thought，n. 意为“思想、想法”等。全句意为“突然，他所读到的使他想起了什么，这使他把书也掉到地上了。（说明吃惊不小。）
