【回答】
21. *:D形容詞辨析解析:從drove以及下文making fun of her. 可以看出,應該是使她很生氣。Crazy“非常生氣”又如:That noise is driving me crazy. Hopeless是令人失望的,而不是失望的,如:Most of the students are making good progress but Jeremy seems a hopeless case,大多數學生進步都很快, 但傑里米卻似乎無可救*。painful“使疼痛的,令人煩惱的”,而不是“煩惱的”。如:It was painful to admit that I was wrong. dull, 令人厭煩的; 單調的,而不是“煩惱的”如:: The conference was deadly dull. 備考:準確掌握詞義,在學習這類形容詞時,要尤其注意是主動意味,還是被動意味,又如:interesting 令人感興趣的,有趣的,interested 感興趣的。主動意味的多用於事物,被動意味的多用於人。The book is interesting. I’m interested in the book. 本題中:除A以外的三個詞,都是“令人……,使人感到……”,很顯然用於the woman是不合適的。
22. *:B解析:從run away with pears看出,應該是大聲的喊,shout,大聲説出。Whisper是低聲説。Call做喊叫講不帶表示內容的的賓語。Announce,通知。備考:做完形填空一定要注意上下文。不可只看一句話。23. *:A解析:從one evening 以及下文的next morning可看出是請求過夜。stay for the night 過夜,固定搭配。24. *:B解析:從常識可知,留宿陌生人應該考慮他是否是誠實。從下文let him in 看出是允許進入。故選B. honest,與下文This one did not look trustworthy to her呼應。25. *:C解析:既然允許過夜,接下來最有可能的應該是招待。treat 招待,款待,其它選項不符合情理。
26. *:D解析:從下文that引導同位語從句的內容看,應該是她的一個很難實現的願望。suggestion 建議demand 要求 permission 允許,均對題意不符。27. *:B解析:wish是先行詞,同位語從句謂語動詞用should + 動詞原形,另外,could不能與be able to連用28. *:A解析:根據上下文,沒有她的允許不得下來。29. *:D解析:到樹上當然是偷摘果實(梨)了。branch 樹枝; food 食物; tree 樹,均不符合題意。30. *:D解析:長時間的請求後,老太太才讓梨樹放他們下來。Before,在……之前,才……
31. *:B解析:當然是放偷梨的孩子走了。用them指代偷梨的孩子32. *:C解析:這樣的整治,孩子們當然不敢來了,老太太自然就沒有這個麻煩了。33. *:C解析:據上下文,有一個停在她家門前請求住宿。Stop at 在某處停下來。34. *:A解析:看見這個人不太可信,所以要查問他了。有因果關係35. *:A解析:take sb with sb 帶某人走,36. *:B解析:從上下文可知,是摘一些梨作為紀念。從climb可以看出是要上樹採摘,而不是挑選或搖動。
37. *:B解析:從文章一開始,She spent all her time taking care of the tree.可知老太太與這棵梨樹的深厚感情。摘幾顆梨應該是想記住它所帶給她的快樂了。從文章中也沒有看到,梨樹給他帶了什麼榮譽、希望或者是什麼興奮的事情。38. *:C解析:從climb high to get the best fruit可知,是老太太以“年老爬不上樹”為由誘騙“death” 上樹(進入陷阱)39. *:B解析:Will you be so kind to do sth 請求別人幫助,固定表達法。40. *:C解析:從With a deep sigh可知,Death並不願意為他爬樹摘梨,但念及快要死的人了,就答應了,但不會很樂意的,unwillingly 不樂意地。Disappointedly是失望的,這裏death並沒有什麼願望,也就談不上失望了。
