Answer 1

【答案】

1.B

【详解】根据后面的句子“The former…, while the latter”可以推断这里讲的是不同之处 the difference between A and B  A与B之间的不同。

2.C

【详解】词组搭配，“make effort to do sth”尽量或努力做某事。

3.D

【详解】根据前句avoid being discovered，这里应该是与前面的对比，所以用“draw  attention to themselves”，与前面的句子呼应。前者避免被人发现，后者是希望吸引别人的注意力。

4.A

【详解】根据前面的show mercy to （同情某人），所以选unfortunately（不幸的）而careless “不小心，粗心”  unpleasant “不舒服的, 讨人厌的”  hopeless “无希望的” 与原文意思不符。

5.C

【详解】从小山村出发到伦敦，选setting out（出发），其余选项不适合，“passing by”“经过某地” leaving out“遗漏”getting up“起床”

6.B

【详解】从后文倒数第三行，在车子后面找到了queen bee，可以知道声音是在后面传来的。

7.D

【详解】仔细的检察车轮，而没有发现毛病。应选examine（检查）而不选清洗、换胎或试验轮子。

8.B

【详解】检查无误后，司机继续向前。应选continue（继续）

9.D

【详解】但是在车子发动后，声音马上又开始了，而且越来越大。 normally 正常地，gently温柔地，actually事实上。 所以选择答案immediately(立刻，马上)

10.B

【详解】此句考测分词的用法。相当于He quickly turned his head.因为声音是从后面传来的，所以，他应该转过头朝后面看。而不选择hiding 藏  shaking 摇  raising 抬起，抬高。

11.A

【详解】black“黑色的”，（由成千上万只蜜蜂组成的）黑压压的一片，而不应选择beautiful,（ 美丽的 ）white（白色的）, 或colorful（多彩的）。

12.C

【详解】他被告知蜂王一定藏在他的车子里，因为车子周围附近(nearby)都是蜜蜂。其余答案都不符合，由a great black cloud following the car,可以推出答案应当选nearby.

13.D

【详解】根据前文的the man drove away as quickly as possible和后文He arrived safely in London，可以推断在经过一个小时的艰辛的开车以后（把车子开得很快很快）。 所以选择hard。

14.A

他把车停在一家旅馆。由后文的It was not long before a customer … 顾客来告诉他，只能选 hotel, 因为hospital, museum和学校都不应当有customer，hospital里的是patient, museum里的是visitor。

15.D

【详解】根据句型：It was not long before…不久以后， 等于 Before long.

16.C

【详解】break in“破门而入” drop in “拜访某人”move in“搬入，迁到某地” 所以选择hurried 表示：顾客急匆匆地跑进来告诉他。

17.B

【详解】be covered with “被…覆盖”“尽是…”因为the queen bee在他的后车厢，所以，车子上爬满了蜜蜂，而不应当在车内。所以，其余选项与题意不符合。be crowded with “把…塞满” 表示车里面挤满了蜜蜂  be filled with “用…填满” 也是表示蜜蜂在车内，be equipped with “用…装备”。

18.A

【详解】advise“建议” 后跟宾语从句，谓语动词should +动词原形。 而不应当选择 “命令”order，也不选择 “要求” require/request

19.A

【详解】根据下文“The bee-keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box”可以看出，是叫来了一个养蜂的人。

20.C

【详解】对于养蜂人来说，这是一件unexpected: 意想不到的礼物。而不应当是unfamiliar “不熟悉的” unknown “不为人所知的”  uncertain “不确定的”。

【备考建议】

    今年的完型填空题是一篇记叙文，讲的是一位驾驶员在驾驶的途中遇到一只蜂王，于是引来了一大群蜜蜂聚集在车上。要读懂这篇文章的内容很容易，难就难在题目的4个选项是以实词为主，而且干扰性较大，学生在解题时会对选择答案产生似是而非的感觉。这样出题，重在考查学生在阅读理解基础上对词汇的实际运用能力。友情提醒重庆市考生，务必注意词汇在具体情景中的运用，这对于在明年的高考中获取高分会有非常重要的意义。
