答案与解析
1.A 通读全文,可知作者刚开始并不认为自己能朗诵诗,因此本句表达作者花费很长时间才相信此事。believe“相信”,符合题意。imagine“设想”,一般是难以实现或近期不大可能实现的事物。want“想要”; expect“期望”,均不合句意。
2.B 花费很长一段时间我才相信这样的好事还会发生在我的身上。sth.happen to sb.为“某人发生某事”。
3.D be unable to do sth. “不能干某事”,固定搭配。
4.C 由上下文知,此处需要一个表时间的过渡性副词,只有then符合。but为连词,不可用;这里并不是说明事情的最后结果,故finally也不可选;besides表“此外;而且”,也不符合句意。
5.A 英语是他最喜欢的课程。根据deepest一词判断所选单词与该单词形成比较,所以选一个有比较意义的单词。
6.B 对于诗迷来说,读诗犹如发掘宝藏一样,因此只有B项uncover“揭开;发现”符合句意。recover“恢复”; remove“除去;拿起”; discover“发现”。
7.D stand“忍耐;忍受”,后面加动词的 ing形式,四个选项中只有D项符合。
8.A “当他了解到我很喜欢诗时”,learn“听说;了解到”,符合句意。think“考虑”; decide“决定”; prove“证明”。
9.C 作诗。也可以根据后文第14个空后“... you wrote this”推知选write一词。
10.B difficulty在这里意为“异议;意见不一”。由however转折,可知我们之间存在一些意见上的分歧。
11.C 在此表示造成我不敢开口的客观事实。
12.B be meant to=be intended to“意欲;打算;本来是想……;意味着;是用来”。
13.C 此处表示作者没有说话,走开了。answer back“顶嘴;回嘴”;show up“揭露;出席;到场”; stick to“坚持;不停努力”;只有C项turn away“转身走;离开”,表示不认可老师的建议。
14.D 指老师对诗歌的“评语;评价”用comment。
15.B 作者不相信地看着教授, stare at“盯着瞧”; turn to“转向”; point to“指向”; laugh at“嘲笑”,均不合句意。
16.B 由上文中I disbelief可知,教授是要作者证明诗是作者自己写的。prove“证明;证实”。
17.A from memory“从记忆中”,属固定搭配。
18.D 其他同学在书桌前安顿下来,table为“饭桌”; desk一般指“书桌”。
19.C encourage sb.to do sth. “鼓励某人干某事”。
20.B 不久以后,我发现自己有好的嗓音。before long“不久”; long before“很久以前”; long after“很久以后”。

答案与解析
1.a get a cold“感冒”。
2.can/could/may/might 该处表猜测,意为“可能”,故填can/could/may/might。
3.it it指前一句中提到的some medicine。
4.sleepy feel为系动词,后接形容词作表语,feel sleepy“觉得困倦”。
5.off take a few days off “请几天假”。
6.recently recently“最近”,在句中作状语,应用副词。
7.finished 在get+宾语+宾补结构中,finish与其逻辑主语a project为被动关系,故用过去分词形式作补语。
8.worse 根据设空后的than,可知该处填形容词bad的比较级。
9.If if“如果”,引导条件状语从句。
10.combined be combined with……“与……结合”,在句中应用过去分词作状语,填combined。
Ⅴ.短文改错
I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great importance to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor's advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” However, there are still many children dislike fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.
