30、 the gardener looked rather (20) . “It was killed the moment a car hit it./（分数：60.00）A.tooB.veryC.so D.quite解析：解析 惯用搭配题。Sothat 是惯用搭配，意为“如此以至于“，所以 C 正确。A.share B.growC.washD.cook解析：解析 惯用搭配题。share sthwith sb意为“与分享”，由下一句的each officer found some mushrooms on his plate可知，他想与 brother officers 一起分享美味的蘑菇，故选
31、 A。A.checkB.smellC.try D.examine解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。结合上文可知，警官们担心蘑菇有毒，就让狗先吃蘑菇，所以 C 正确。A.frightenedB.shyC.cheerfulD.careful 解析：解析 词义辨析题。有位警官担心蘑菇有毒，所以建议先让狗吃，由此可见他很细心，所以 D 正确；frightened 意为“受惊吓的”，shy 意为“畏缩的，害羞的”，cheerful 意为“愉快的，高兴的”，均排除。A.refuseB.hateC.wantD.enjoy 解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。结合下文 the officers then began to eat
32、their meal 可知，这只狗enjoy(eating)his mushroom，所以 D 正确；refuse 意为“拒绝”，hate 意为“憎恨”，want 意为“希望”，均排除。A.besidesB.but C.andD.or解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。修饰名词 taste 两个形容词 strange 和 pleasant 之间为转折关系，所以 B 正确；besides 意为“此外，除之外”，主要表示递进关系，故排除。A.however B.moreoverC.thereforeD.whenever解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。由上文的 quite pleasant taste 及该句的 all
33、 astonished 可知，空格处应表示转折关系，所以 A 正确。moreover 意为“而且，此外”，表示递进；therefore 意为“因此”，表示因果；whenever 意为“无论何时”，表示条件：这三项均排除。A.cruellyB.curiouslyC.seriously D.finally解析：解析 词义辨析题。seriously 意为“严肃地，认真地”，结合句意“警官们大为吃惊，因为园丁冲进来_地说那条狗死了”可知，C 正确；cruelly 意为“残忍地”，curiously 意为“好奇地”，finally 意为“最终”，均排除。A.Immediately B.Carefully
34、C.SuddenlyD.Slowly解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。结合上下文可知，B(小心地)、D(缓慢地)均不符合句意，排除；immediately意为“立即，马上”，suddenly 意为“突然地”，文章主要是强调“警官们听完园丁的话后立刻跳上车”这两个动作的连贯性，而不是为了说明他们动作的突发性，所以 A 正确。A.hard B.busyC.excitingD.unforgettable解析：解析 词义辨析题。结合上下文可知，用洗胃器清除胃里的蘑菇是不好受的，所以 A 正确。A.withB.onC.toD.of 解析：解析 惯用搭配题。get rid of 是惯用搭配，意为“去除，除掉”，即警
35、官们需要去除胃里残余的蘑菇，所以 D 正确。A.studyB.discuss C.recordD.remember解析：解析 词义辨析题。结合上下文可知，他们回来后开始谈论各自的感受，所以 B(讨论)正确；study 意为“学习”，record 意为“记录”，remember 意为“记忆”，均排除。A.pumpsB.mushroomsC.moodD.pains 解析：解析 词义辨析题。pump 意为“水泵”，mushroom 意为“蘑菇”，mood 意为“心情”，pain 意为“疼痛，痛苦”，结合上下文可知，警官们谈论的是他们洗胃时的痛苦，所以 D 正确。A.thisB.these C.itD
36、.they解析：解析 语法结构题。结合上文可知，他们在谈论疼痛，在去医院的路上感觉越来越强烈，由于pains 为复数，故排除 A、C 项；由于句前已经出现 they，为了避免出现歧义，所以 B 正确。A.roadB.streetC.way D.direction解析：解析 惯用搭配题。on ones way to 是惯用搭配，意为“在某人去某地的途中”，所以 C 正确。A.howB.thatC.whyD.which 解析：解析 语法结构题。本题属于“介词+which”定语从句结构，故选 D。当先行词为 way 时，其定语从句引导词不用 how，而应用 in which；也可用 that，在从句
37、中表方式作状语，亦可将 that 省去。A.suffer B.eatC.harmD.spit解析：解析 词义辨析题。suffer 意为“遭受”，eat 意为“吃”，harm 意为“伤害”，spit 意为“吐出；发射”，结合句意可知，A 正确。A.to feelB.feeling C.feltD.having felt解析：解析 语法结构题。由整个句子的结构可知，空格后面的部分应作谓语动词 asked 的伴随状语，选项中 to feel 可作目的状语，但不能用逗号；feeling 是现在分词作状语，可表伴随；felt 在此是动词的过去式，缺少连词 and，使之与 asked 构成并列谓语；hav
38、ing felt 表示发生在谓语的动作之前的动作；由此可知，B 正确。分词作状语分词作状语时，如果主句和分词共享一个主语，且主语和分词为主谓关系，则使用现在分词，例如：Being ill today，he cannot go to his friends birthday party如果主句和分词共享一个主语，但分词和主语为动宾关系，则使用过去分词，例如：Given another chance，I believe I can do better在使用现在分词作时间状语时，要考虑分词与主句的先后顺序。如果分词和主句的动作同时发生，则使用现在分词的一般式，例如：Seeing the boy cr
39、ying，Mary went forward to comfort him如果分词的动作发生在主句动作之前，则使用分词的完成式，例如：Having been reminded several times，Jack still forgot to make the appointment with his clientsA.sufferedB.escaped C.seenD.heard解析：解析 词义辨析题。结合上文及句中的信息词 very pleased 可知，警官非常高兴，以为自己逃脱了一次痛苦的死亡，所以 escape(逃脱，避免)正确；suffer 意为“经历”，see 意为“看见”，h
40、ear 意为“听说”，均排除。(20).A happy C surprisedB interested D excited（分数：3.00）A.B.C. D.解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。surprise 意为“吃凉”，结合句意“园丁对警官问的问题感到_，因为他知道狗死的真相它是被车撞死的”可知，C 正确；happy 意为“高兴的”，interested 意为“感兴趣的”，excited 意为“兴奋的”，均排除。三、Translation(总题数：5，分数：20.00)1.By the middle of the 21st century, the vast majority of the worl
41、ds population 1(将生活在城市而不是农村).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：will be living in cities rather than in the country）解析：解析 因为时间状语 by the middle of the 21st century 指的是将来，所以应该用将来进行时；“而不是”译成 rather than。2.But the Swiss discovered long years ago that 1(连年不断的战争给他们带来的只有苦难和贫穷).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：constant warfare b
42、rought them nothing but suffering and poverty）解析：解析 主句是过去时，所以从句也应该用过去时。“连年不断的战争”译成 constant warfare，“只有”可译为 nothing but，“苦难和贫穷”译成 suffering and poverty。3.It is imperative that the govemment 1(为造船产业吸引更多的投资).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：attract more investment into the shipbuilding industry）解析：解析 本句难点在于 It
43、is imperative that 后面句子中谓语要用动词原形，“吸引投资”译为attract investment，故此题答案为 attract more investment into the shipbuilding industry。4.The meeting was put off because 1(我们拒绝在麦克不在的情况下开会).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：we objected to having a meeting without Mike）解析：解析 “拒绝做”译为 object to doing sth，注意 object to 后面接名词而不是动词原形。“开会”可译成 have a meeting，“麦克不在的情况下”可以译为 without Mike，故此题答案为 we objected to having a meeting without Mike。5.The board believed its urgent that 1(这文件应该立刻打印).（分数：4.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：these files should be printed right away）解析：解析 Itsurgent 后应使用虚拟语气，即“should+动词原形”。
