29、he electrical system, and the engine stopped just as surly and abruptly as it would have done. The car had actually skidded into the drains after it had so 10 missed only a few moments.（分数：25.00）解析：L 考点 考查名词。 该句意为“这是新年的第一场雨，它以一种极其狂野的 -|_|-，标志着雨季的到来”，由此可以推知，该处应为“以一种极其狂野的方式”，选项中只有L项manner符合，manner意为“方

30、式；态度”，in a.manner为固定搭配，表示“以的方式”。解析：J 考点 考查形容词。 degenerate into为固定搭配，表示“退化为；堕落成为”的意思，drizzle意为“毛毛雨，细雨”。该句意为“雨滴垂直落地、雨点很大，因为 -|_|-热带雨从不会变成倾斜的毛毛细雨”。结合上下文和句子结构可知，空格处应填形容词且该形容词是形容热带大雨的暴力、恶劣，与后面的slanting drizzle形成对比，故选项中只有J项符合，fierce意为“猛烈的，(雨、雪等天气)恶劣的”。解析：G 考点 考查名词。 根据前文可知，这里指的是热带暴雨的模式和世界上其他许多地方常见的雨(即倾斜的毛毛

31、雨)的模式都不同，因此G项pattern符合句意，pattern意为“模式”，侧重强调一种有规律的和重复性的模式；而第1空中的manner侧重强调做事的方式，考生可能会把这两个选项混淆。解析：N 考点 考查动词。短语 分析句子结构可知，空格处应填动词。在该段叙述文字中，动词的时态以一般过去时为主，根据空格前后的walked about和determined可知，空格处所填动词也要用一般过去时，因此选N项resigned to。resign to为固定短语，意为“听任，顺从”，该句意为“但也有少数人在雨天外出，任凭雨水淋湿他们的衣服，仍然决定像平常一样。”F项splashed by和M项spla

32、shed out的中心词splashed“溅落”不能跟wetness搭配，D项scattered作动词意为“散布；撒播”也不符合句意，故都排除。解析：F 考点 考查动词。短语 这一句描述的是出租车在雨中行驶在路上的情景。splash作动词时意为“溅泼着行进”，M项splashed out意为“心血来潮地/随意地花(钱)”，F项splashed by意为“溅泼着驶过”，与后面的along the road衔接连贯，由此可知本题选F。解析：K 考点 考查形容词。 句中的windscreen意为“挡风玻璃”，wiper意为“雨刷器”。根据上文可知，由于下大雨，且车前的雨刷器在工作，外面的人只能偶尔瞥

33、见司机不完整的、专注的脸。所给选项中K项fragmentary意为“支离破碎的；不完全的”，D项scattered作形容词时意为“分散的”。由此可见fragmentary glimpses最符合语境，故答案选K。解析：B 考点 考查名词。 根据空格前“整条道路上都是水，所有危险的坑洼和 -|_|-都被隐藏起来”可知，空格处要填的是一个和“危险的坑洼”并列的事物。综观选项，A项constructions意为“建设”，B项obstructions意为“障碍，妨碍物”，因此obstructions符合句意，故选B项。解析：E 考点 考查介词。 分析句子结构可知，peering -|_|- the w

34、indscreens修饰faces，peer为不及物动词，后面不能直接加宾语，因此需要加一个介词。根据常识可知，下雨天司机透过windscreen(挡风玻璃)观察路况，车窗是透明的，所以用介词through更合适，且peer through为固定搭配，意为“透过向外看”，故选E项through。解析：C 考点 考查动词。 根据空格前面的cease to可知，空格处应填动词原形。根据后面for water had splashed up to the electrical system.可知雨水进入了电路系统，车子已经熄火，所以此处是说“出租车司机 -|_|-再留心窗外了。”C项bother,

35、bother to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“费心去做某事”，cease to bother to do sth.意为“不必再麻烦做某事”；H项intend意为“意欲，想要”，intend to do sth.意为“打算做某事”，动作还没有发生，不符合题意，因此选C。解析：I 考点 考查副词。 分析句子结构可知，空格处应填一个副词修饰动词missed。选项中O项closely意为“紧密地，接近地”；I项narrowly意为“勉强地”。这两个副词中最常与miss连用的是narrowly，指的是“勉勉强强地躲过”，此处意为“实际上，汽车在勉强躲过下水道之后，又打滑掉了进去”，故本题应选I项n

41、. In one minute Houdini 20 to the surface. When the chest was brought up, it was opened and the chains were found inside.（分数：25.00）解析：D 考点 考查动词。 watch为感官动词，后面跟动词原形，表示“看到(整个事件发生的过程)”。综观选项，C项acquire意为“得到”；D项produce除了“生产，制造”的含义之外，还有“拿出”之意。此处意为“我们观看魔术师从帽子里面变出兔子”，魔术师并不是得到兔子，而是将兔子变出来给观众们看，故本题应选D。解析：F 考点 考

42、查形容词。 空格前为最高级标志词most，空格后为名词locks，故空格处应填形容词。综观选项，F项complicated意为“复杂的，难解的”；G项complex意为“复杂的，合成的”；此处应该选complicated，这样the most complicated locks和前面的the tightest knots构成词汇的场景同现。该句意为“他可以在几秒钟内从最紧的结和最复杂的锁中逃脱出来”。A项bound“前往的”，H项astonishing“惊人的”均不符合句意，故排除。解析：E 考点 考查动词。 本句意为“即使没有人知道他是如何做到的，但是毫无疑问他曾经仔细研究过人类 -|_|-

43、的每一种锁。”分析句子结构可知，空格处应填动词的被动形式。I项created意为“创造”，常用于创作文章，作品集之类；E项invented意为“发明”；比较可知E项invented更符合题意。解析：A 考点 考查动词。 此处意为“他们把他用链子 -|_|-了起来并上了锁，但是他瞬间就挣脱了”，由题意可知，此处应该是“捆绑”的意思，故选A项bound，bound的原形bind意为“捆绑，束缚”。解析：O 考点 考查名词。 上下文意思为“警察指责他使用了工具，再次把他锁了起来，而这次他赤身裸体，脖子、腰、手腕、大腿周围全都有 -|_|-，但他再次迅速地逃出来了。”由上下文可知，这里是指“锁链”，故

44、选O项，chains意为“锁链”。解析：B 考点 考查名词。 分析句子结构可知，空格处应填单数形式的名词。该句意为“霍迪尼也许把他的针放在了蜡状 -|_|-中并且把它扔在了地板上”，由句意可推测此处表示“物品，物质”的意思。B项substance意为“物质”，K项material意为“材料”，由此可见B更符合题意。解析：J 考点 考查名词。 由后文推测此处应该是指“霍迪尼把用蜡包裹的针扔在了过道的地板上”，这样当他途中踩过蜡状物的时候，它就会粘在他的脚底。故本题选J项，passage除了有“文章”的意思，还有“走廊，通道”的意思。解析：L 考点 考查连词 本句意为“他踩过蜡状物以便 -|_|-

45、他途中经过时它会粘在他的脚底。”此处应填连接时间状语从句的引导词，选项中只有L项as合适，表示“当的时候”。N项then通常用作副词，表示“然后；那么；于是”，不符合题意，故排除。解析：H 考点 考查形容词。 空格前的altogether意为“完全地”，作副词用来修饰空格处的单词，由此可知空格处应填形容词。空格所在句应该是说“然而，他最著名的一次脱逃非常令人震惊”，H项astonishing意为“震惊的，令人惊讶的”，符合句意，故选H。解析：M 考点 考查动词。 整篇文章的时态都是过去时，过去完成时表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已完成的动作或状态，强调完成的状态；而一般过去时则表示过去的时间发生

46、的动作或存在的状态。此处强调的是在一分钟之内，魔术大师霍迪尼就已游到了水面上，由此可知应该用过去完成时，表示“完成，成就”，故选M项had swum。Asigns Bseek Csymptoms Dpattern Eextensive Fdisruption Ginclusive Hthrough Iretrieve Jstimulus Kpeculiar Lcalls on Mspecific Neruption Obiological Most people who travel long distances complain of jet lag.
