2.Passage FourOne evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country road. He had £ 100.00 in his pock et. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit (限制速度) was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase (追) him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green's car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green's name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, "No, you will have to appear at the police station later." Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.Just as he reached the outskirts (郊区) of London, the passenger said, "! want to get off here." Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, "Thanks for the lift. You've been good to me. This is the least I can do in return (报答)." And he handed Mr. Green the policeman's notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.46. The man asking for a lift was ______.A. a robber who robs driversB. a policeman who had worked in prisonC. a prisoner who had escaped from prisonD. a stranger with £ 100.00 in his pocket

    _________(56)
    A:urged
    B:imposed
    C:forced
    D:attempted

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据下文判断,这里应该是转折关系。尽管抓到的那个人不承认自己是小偷,但是抓到他时,他身上有几枚钻戒。所以选D。
    deny是“否定”的意思,与“承认”相对。accept意为“接受”;ignore意为 “忽视”; reject意为“拒绝,抵制”。
    in one's possession是“拥有,持有”的意思,相当于in possession of,因此选B。
    介词on后接动名词时,有“一······就······”的意思。本句的意思是“史密斯一看到警察,就跳进了车里······”,因此选D。
    文章要表达的意思是“跳进车里”,只能选介词into。
    force是“逼迫”的意思。本句的意思是:“警察最终把史密斯逼到了路边。”
    truck意为“卡车”; motorbike意为“摩托车”; bicycle意为“自行车”,前文提到他跳进“auto"(汽车),与car同义。
    clothing是“衣服”的意思,所有衣服的统称。文章说的是当警察搜查他的衣服时发现了钻戒。coat意为“外衣”,太具体了。
    下文应该要填一个引导定语从句的表示地点的疑问副词,所以选where。
    identify...as…意为“认出······是······”,句义是:“最近遭遇抢劫案的珠宝店主认出了他丢失的珠宝。”
    confess是“承认,坦白,忏悔”的意思,既可以作及物动词,又可以作不及物动词使用。文中的意思是“犯人如拒不认罪”,应该选C。
    由前后文可以推断此处应为表转折关系的连词。
    sb.have no doubt that…的意思是“某人对······毫不怀疑”。
    guilty是“有罪的”的意思,符合原文的意思。
    caused by的意思是“由······引起的”,原文的意思是:“发言人还表示,希望由最近发生的抢劫案在社区中引起的恐慌会因为史密斯的被捕而平息。”

  • 第20题:

    Police are trying to discover the identity of the killer.

    A:disable
    B:disapprove
    C:disregard
    D:find out

    答案:D
    解析:
    警察正试图查找出罪犯的身份。disable“使残疾”,如:Tom was disabled by polio when he was a child.汤姆小时候因患小儿麻痹症而致残。disapprove“反对”,如:She wants to be an actress, but her parents disapprove.她想当演员,但她父母反对。disregard"漠视,不理会”,如:He disregarded the traffic rules when driving.他开车时全然不顾交通法规。find out “发现”,如:The spy used cunning means to find out the secrets.间谋采用狡猾的手段发现了秘密。只有find out意思上和discover最接近。
