答案以及解析
一、
1.答案：were defeated
解析：句意: 我本认为我们会赢的, 但让我失望的是, 我们被击败了。defeat击败, 战胜, 是及物动词, 我们是被击败的, 因而此空用被动语态。从句意可知, 此处指过去的事, 因而填were defeated。
2.答案：destroying
解析：句意: Alice Moore到13岁时, 她的公司市值就达到数百万美元了。公司发明了一种超级甜食, 它能挽救儿童的牙齿, 而不是毁坏它们。instead of是介词短语, 因而后面填动名词destroying。
3.答案：significant
解析：句意: 显然, 这位老人并没有宏伟计划、远大梦想或任何对他的生活有意义的事情。空格处所填词作后置定语, 修饰不定代词anything。故填形容词significant。
4.答案：extremely
解析：句意: 登上月球背面极其艰难。此空修饰形容词challenging, 应用副词, 故填extremely。
5.答案：sensitively
解析：句意: 我妈妈对我的感觉表现得非常敏感, 这是阿尔茨海默病患者的典型的特征。空格处所填词作状语, 修饰动词reacts, 故填副词sensitively。
二、
6.答案：flashed
解析：句意: 我很快回想起Lancelot小姐给我任务的那一天。flash(使)闪光, (使)闪现。flash back to回想起。
7.答案：destroyed
解析：句意: 1976年7月28日, 20世纪最致命的地震之一在唐山爆发。它摧毁了唐山市, 甚至给北京带来了损坏。destroy摧毁, 毁灭, 破坏。1976年的地震, 故用一般过去时destroyed。
8.答案：section
解析：句意: 这篇文章可能出现在报纸的哪一部分, 娱乐版面, 健康版面, 还是科学版面 section部分。
9.答案：stage
10.答案：gap
解析：句意: 我们怎样才能消除我们跟其他动物之间不断扩大的差距呢 gap间隙, 差距。
三、
答案：1-3 ABA
解析：1.推理判断题。根据Angela's Ashes部分中的第一句"Angela's Ashes is a recollection of the author's childhood in Brooklyn and Ireland.(《天使的孩子》是作者在布鲁克林区和爱尔兰时期的童年回忆)"可知, 选A(《天使的孩子》反映的是作者本人的生活)。根据The Old Man and the Sea部分中的第一句"The Old Man and the Sea is about a fisherman (Santiago) and his attempts to catch an great marlin fish.(《老人与海》讲述了一位渔夫努力捕一条大马林鱼的故事)"可知, B(《老人与海》主要讲述友谊)错误。根据The Secret Garden部分中的最后一句"This interesting book is top-listed among the favorites of both children and grown-ups.(这本有趣的书是儿童和成人最喜欢的书之一)"可知,《秘密花园》不是专供儿童的, 故C错误。在For Boys Only: The Biggest, Baddest Book Ever部分中查找不到它得奖的信息, 而Angela's Ashes部分中最后一句"This novel has won several awards..."可知它得过几个奖。故D错误。
2.细节理解题。根据题干中"the geography of America"和The Everything Kids' States Book部分中的最后一句"Telling about the history, geography and landmarks of each state...(讲述每个州的历史、地理和界标)"可知, 此书涉及地理, 因而, 如果买The Everything Kids' States Book这本书, 可省3.67美元(7.95-4.28=3.67)。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据And Then There Were None和The Firm两本书的信息可知, 它们都属于惊悚故事。故选A(它们都是惊悚故事)。
四、
答案：①straightened ②though/as ③However ④for ⑤the ⑥greater ⑦confused ⑧feeling ⑨slowly ⑩flashes
解析：①考查时态。由and began可知用过去式straightened。
②考查连词。句意: 虽然老人感觉很虚弱, 但他还是竭尽全力拽住大鱼。根据句意可知, 此处为让步状语从句, 的倒装结构, 故填连词though/as(虽然)。此空不能填although或while, 它们引导让步状语从句时, 不能将从句中的形容词、副词、名词放在连词前。
③考查副词。句意: 他认为他能搞定它, 但大鱼还是游走了。从句意可知, 空格前后是转折关系, 且有逗号隔开, 故填However。
④考查动词短语。reach for是动词短语, 意为"伸手去拿"。
⑤考查冠词。the next意为"下一个"。
⑥考查比较级。句意: 他从来没有看到过比这条鱼更大的鱼。从句意可知, 此空用比较级。
⑦考查非谓语动词。此空作表语, 要用形容词。指人"(头脑)不清楚的"时, 用过去分词confused。
⑧考查非谓语动词。固定短语on the point of中的of是介词, 因而此空用动名词feeling。
⑨考查词性转换。此空修饰谓语swam off, 应用副词, 故填slowly。
⑩考查名词复数。flash闪光, 闪现, 是可数名词, 空前无限定词, 因而此处用复数。
