32、at. Or she may place her mouth over the muzzle (动物之鼻口) of a downed animal, (20) it.（分数：20.00）A.at B.onC.inD.under解析：解析 惯用搭配题。at dusk 是惯用搭配，意为“在黄昏”，符合句意；且在第二段第二句中出现了 at dusk，故选 A。表示一天中时间段的惯用搭配还有：at dawn(在黎明)，at noon(在中午)，at night(在晚上)，at sunrise(在日出时)，at sunset(在日落时)，in the evening(在晚上)。本题所在句中 set of

33、f 为“出发，动身”。A.sightB.front C.placeD.part解析：解析 词义辨析题。根据幼狮 playfully behind，公狮 bring up the rear(后部)可推测，空格处应填入表方位的词，故选 B；in sight 意为“在视野之内”，in place 意为“在适当位置”，inpart意为“部分地”，均排除。A.youngB.femalesC.males D.old解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。上文谈论了母狮和幼狮，此处则应该谈论公狮，故选 C。A.legsB.heads C.bodiesD.tails解析：解析 词义辨析题。空格前面的形容词为 massive，

34、后面的动词为 nod，结合选项可知，只有head 正确，故选 B。A.were bored B.boreC.boringD.bores解析：解析 惯用搭配题。be bored with 是惯用搭配，意为“对感到厌倦”；bore 作动词用时意为“使生厌”，且作及物动词，形容事情令人生厌用 boring，形容对某种事情厌烦用 bored，所以 A 正确。A.swiftnessB.laziness C.playfulnessD.cleverness解析：解析 词义辨析题。swiftness 意为“迅速，快”，laziness 意为“懒惰”，playfulness 意为“顽皮”，cleverness

35、意为“聪明”。上文介绍了公狮的习性是不愿捕食，行动缓慢，均为懒惰的表现，故选 B。A.With B.FromC.ForD.Over解析：解析 语法结构题。本句的逗号前部分为独立主格结构，需要用 with 加上动词的分词形式作伴随状语，所以 A 正确。A.tolerateB.varyC.function D.require解析：解析 词义辨析题。tolerate 意为“忍受”，vary 意为“变化，改变”，function 意为“起作用”，require 意为“需要”。这四个选项中只有 function 能和 as 搭配，意为“起作用”，所以 C 正确。A.protecting B.hiding

36、C.rescuingD.separating解析：解析 词义辨析题。四个选项后面都可接 from，但含义不同。protectfrom 意为“保护免遭”，rescuefrom 意为“营救免遭”，hidefrom 意为“躲藏免遭”，separatefrom 意为“与分开”，结合句意可知 A 正确，即“公狮应该保护幼狮”。A.strengthB.environment C.clawsD.husbands解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。从下一句的 darkness 可知，捕食的母狮已经学会了利用环境优势，故选 B。A.provides B.givesC.affordsD.prepares解析：解析 惯用搭配题

37、。“给某人某东西”有几种表达方式，即 give/offer/afford sbsth，give/offer sthto sb，provide sbwith sth或 provide sthfor sb。结合空格后面的介词 with 可知，A 正确。A.frequently B.continuouslyC.repeatedlyD.constantly解析：解析 词义辨析题。frequently 意为“经常”，作频率状语，一般放在行为动词前，符合句意，故选 A；continuously 意为“持续地”，repeatedly 意为“反复地”，constantly 意为“持续地”，这三项一般作方式状语

38、，放在动词后或句尾，故排除。A.althoughB.ifC.until D.since解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。主句意为“黄昏时它们等在想要捕杀的动物附近”，从句意为“它们的轮廓和周围的环境融合在一起”。although 意为“尽管”，if 意为“如果”，until 意为“直到”，since 意为“既然，因为”，只有 until 能把主从句连成一个意思完整的句子，故选 C。A.problem B.businessC.matterD.doubt解析：解析 词义辨析题。本题可采用排除法。由于本句的主语是 small prey，而 business 一般不和no 搭配使用，排除 B；matter 常和

39、 no 构成 no matter what/how/why 等，用于让步状语从句，有时也可在句中作宾语，排除 C；no doubt 意为“毫无疑问”，不符合句意，排除；故选 A，no problem(没有问题)，这里指“小的猎物对于狮子来说不构成问题”。A.commonB.variousC.different D.similar解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。本题和 16 题是联系在一起的，需先得出 16 题的答案才能知道本题的选项，分析见 16 题。A.smallB.large C.wildD.weak解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。本题属于反义复现，由于上文谈论了 small prey，此处则应该谈论大的

40、猎物了，故选 B。由此 15 题的答案也迎刃而解，即对于大猎物，采用的技巧是不一样的，所以 15 题应选 C。A.beforeB.after C.fromD.until解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。参照上文的 pull down，并结合捕食的常识一般是先追逐再抓捕可知，空格处应填入 after 表示先后顺序，故选 B。A.herB.it C.themD.him解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。此处应填入代词用于指代前面的 prey，故选 B。A.atB.withC.by D.of解析：解析 惯用搭配题。by 表示媒介，与 catch，seize 等动词连用表示以身体的某个部位作为对象，在这个部位前用定冠词 t

41、he，所以 C 正确。A.killing B.killC.killsD.killed解析：解析 语法结构题。逗号后应用现在分词作伴随状语，故选 A。In his youth, Knute Axelbrod wanted to learn many languages, to know everything about human history, to (1) wise by reading great books. When he first came from Europe (2) the state of North Dakota, he worked in a mill all day

42、 (3) studied all evening. Then he met Lena Wesselius and married her at the age of eighteen. After that there was a farm to pay (4) , and there were children to (5) .

45、feel that he was (20) free than ever before in his life.（分数：20.00）A.beB.getC.become D.turn解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。题目给出的四个选项均可作系动词，语法上均成立，但 become 包含了一个变化的过程，所以更为适合，故选 C。A.inB.to C.forD.at解析：解析 惯用搭配题。fromto是惯用搭配，意为“从某处到某处”，故选 B。A.whileB.and C.whereasD.but解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。本题可采用排除法。while 表示两个动作同时进行，而 all day 和 all even

46、ing 不可能同时进行，且 while 后面如果接 studied 则应该用现在分词，排除 A；文中的 worked 和studied 是并列关系，排除 C、D 项；故选 B。A.for B.withC.againstD.to解析：解析 惯用搭配题。pay for 是惯用搭配，意为“偿还，偿付”，故选 A。A.bringB.rearC.raise D.feed解析：解析 词义辨析题。raise 意为“养育”，结合句意“有孩子需要_”可知，C 正确；bring需要加 up 才能表示“抚养”，排除；rear 意为“饲养”，排除。feed“喂食，糊口”，raise 比 feed 内涵更广，故选 C。

47、A.itB.andC.heD.that 解析：解析 语法结构题。结合上下文可知，此处需要一个连词将两个分句连结起来，且应组成定语从句，所以 D 正确。A.forB.by C.atD.from解析：解析 惯用搭配题。by 含“到为止”之意，本句的意思是“但当时他已 63 岁了”，所以 B 正确；for 表示“对”，at 表示时间点，即“当他 63 岁时”，from 表示“从他 63 岁起”，均不符合句意，排除。A.diedB.deathC.dead D.deadly解析：解析 词义辨析题。联系上下文可推断，空格处应填一个形容词，故排除 A、B；而 dead 意为“死的”，deadly 意为“致命

48、的”，结合句意可知，C 正确。A.overB.onC.up D.tall解析：解析 惯用搭配题。grow up 是惯用搭配，意为“长大”，所以 C 正确。A.free B.unneededC.unemployedD.busy解析：解析 词义辨析题。free 意为“空闲的”，结合句意“他_且孤独”可知，A 正确；unneeded 意为“无用的”，unemployed 意为“失业的”，busy 意为“忙碌的”，均排除。A.daughter-in-lawB.husbandC.motherD.son-in-law 解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。与 daughter 并列的应是女婿，即 son-in-law；

49、daughter-in-law 意为“儿媳”，所以 D 正确。A.refused B.answeredC.acceptedD.agreed解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。从空格后的 No 可知，他拒绝了，故选 A；由于空格和 No 被句号隔开，所以可排除 B；C、D 项均为表示接受，不符合句意，排除。A.independent B.dependentC.independenceD.dependence解析：解析 词义辨析题。联系上下文可推断，空格处应填入一个形容词，故排除 C、D 项；independent 意为“独立的，自立的”，结合句意“你们必须学会_”可知，A 正确；dependent 意为“依靠的，依赖的”，排除。A.overB.on C.inD.at解析：解析 惯用搭配题。on the farm 是惯用搭配，意为“在农场”，故选 B。A.you B.someoneC.perhapsD.maybe解析：解析 逻辑衔接题。根据上文 You will come and
