47.C 这四个词都有―活着的‖之意,live仅用作定语,作表语用living ,alive 。living和alive在意义上有细微差别,living可作定语和表语,含有―本以为死了,然而还活着‖,又如:I can‘t believe my first teacher is still living。alive作表语和后置定语,其含义与dead相对应。lively―生动的,活跃的‖。
48.D ―在第38小时的时候,……‖,序数词之前要用定冠词。 49.B 注意这四个词的区别:sound ―(各种)声音‖ ;voice ―(人们说话的)嗓音‖ noise―(不悦耳的)嘈音‖;tone―(人们说话的)语气,语调‖。
50.B 这是表将来的虚拟语气,主句中用would +动词原形,从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
51.A 从意义上判断,―如果你来救我,他们也会得救。‖是条件状语从句,应该用if 引导,然而选项中没有if,when与if同义,引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。
52.C 此题包含一个固定句型:There are … left. ―还有……剩余下来‖。
53.C 14 …out of 33 意为:33人中有14人活下来。out of ―从……里面‖。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点,极可能会选错。
54.D 从意义上判断,―房屋倒塌时,自然形成的三角空隙‖。而make room; make space 意为―(有意识地)为……腾出空间‖。
55. A 从上下文意义判断,此句为原因状语从句。

滴水之恩,涌泉相报。凯利医生小时候为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。饥寒交迫之时他得到了一位女士的一大杯牛奶。数年之后,当这名女士生病住院,正为医药费发愁时,医药费通知单上―医药费已付:一杯牛奶。‖的签字使她简直难以相信。给她治病的医生正是当年的小男孩。
36.B 他很饿,所以他就到下一户去乞讨。
37.A lose one‘s nerve是―不知所措‖之意。其它不合句意。
38.D 这个妇女不是给他一杯水,而是给他一杯牛奶,可见她认为这个孩子饿了。 39.A ―你不欠我什么。‖
40.C―我妈妈教导我,施以爱心,不图回报。‖ 41.B ―那么,就请接受我由衷的感谢吧!‖
42.A 喝了牛奶之后,这男孩感到浑身有劲了。physically是―体力上‖之意。 43.D quit用作不及物动词,―停下来,停止‖之意。本来,他都打算放弃了。(但在放弃之前,他停了下来。) 44.C 根据常理判断,应该是―数年之后‖。
45.D 后面提到study her rare disease,可见这妇女得了重病。 46.D call in―叫/请过来‖之意。
47.D 从后面看Howard Kelly医生被人家请来会诊,且有批准减免医药费的权力,故选famous比较合适。 48.B ―(直接)听到‖用heard。
49.A当他听到病人来自的那个城镇的名字时,一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际。 50.C 他马上认出了恩人。 51.B case 在此是―病案‖之意。
52.A win 通常与war搭配。不与defeat, beat搭配,lose the war与此处的意境不合。
53.D 本题可从语法角度考虑。requested后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气。Kelly医生要求总务部门把那个妇女的医疗费最终账单送过来让他批准。
54.B治病的费用将会花费她整个余生来偿还。
55.D catch one‘s attention是―吸引某人的注意‖之意。

As I drove my blue Buick into the garage. I saw that a yellow Oldsmobile was 36 too close to my space. I had to drive back and forth to get my car into the 37 space. That left 38 enough room to open the door. Then one day I arrived home 39 , and just as I turned off the engine, the yellow Oldsmobile entered its space - too close to my car, 40 . At last I had a chance to meet the driver. My patience had 41 and I shouted at her, ―Can‘t you see you‘re not 42 me enough space‖ Park father over.‖ Banging(猛推) open her door into 43 , the driver shouted back: ―Make me!‖ 44 this she stepped out of the garage. Still, each time she got home first, she parked too close to my 45 . Then one day, I thought, ―What can I do?‖ I soon found 46 . The next day the woman 47 a note on her windshield(挡风玻璃):
Dear Yellow Oldsmobile,
I’m sorry mistress(女主人) shouted at yours the other day. She’s been sorry about it. I know it because she doesn’t sing anymore while 48. It wasn’t like her to scream 49 . Fact is, she’d just got bad news and was taking it out on you two. I 50 you
