　　答案簡(jiǎn)析

　　1．D。根據(jù)下文這個(gè)工人越過(guò)邊界后，走下山坡，所以到達(dá)邊界之前應(yīng)在朝山上走。故選up。

　　2．C。這名工人是在推著一輛裝有稻草的自行車(chē)，故選動(dòng)詞pushing。

　　3．D。這里表達(dá)的是到達(dá)邊界之意arrive, come為不及物動(dòng)詞不可直接接 the frontier，故選reached。

　　4．C。ask與order后接不定式的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，動(dòng)詞前應(yīng)有to, make后接不定式的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí)，動(dòng)詞前to要省去。根據(jù)下文應(yīng)選make。

　　5．A。彼得想發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)工人在走私什么，所以應(yīng)仔細(xì)地檢查。故選carefully。

　　6．D。這里根據(jù)文意，應(yīng)選擇表示“是否”之意的whether作賓語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞。

　　7．A。根據(jù)常理，彼得應(yīng)先檢查這個(gè)工人的口袋才能讓他捆起稻草走人，故選before。

　　8．B．根據(jù)文意，彼得心中一直懷著查獲走私物品的希望，故選hoping。

　　9．B。這里things和hide之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,現(xiàn)在分詞hiding作定語(yǔ)時(shí)表示主動(dòng)，所以應(yīng)用過(guò)去分詞hidden作后置定語(yǔ)表被動(dòng)。

　　10．D。本句中否定詞never及文意決定了這里應(yīng)選 anything。

　　11．B。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)從語(yǔ)法上講都可以，只能從文意上進(jìn)行區(qū)分，smuggling意為“走私”，是正確選項(xiàng)。

　　12．C。固定結(jié)構(gòu)be able to do sth. 意為“能夠干某事”。

　　13．A。習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)look through 意為“徹底檢查”。

　　14．D?！癮s usual”為固定短語(yǔ)，意為“象平常一樣”。

　　15．D。tell, order后面應(yīng)直接接人作賓語(yǔ)表示告訴某人和命令某人，而用say應(yīng)為say to sb. 故said為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　16．C．這里應(yīng)選擇一個(gè)介詞構(gòu)成介詞短語(yǔ)在句中做狀語(yǔ)。介詞past 表“經(jīng)過(guò)”； across 強(qiáng)調(diào)“從一邊到另一邊”；而into 表示“進(jìn)入到……里面”。 根據(jù)文意across應(yīng)為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　17．C。“on the job”為一常用短語(yǔ)。意為“執(zhí)行公務(wù)”。

　　18．C。因?yàn)榻裉焓潜说米詈笠惶焐习嗾f(shuō)明明天他就要退休retire。

　　19．B。根據(jù)句中否定詞not 及文意應(yīng)選anyone。

　　20．D。本句說(shuō)明這個(gè)工人回答彼得的問(wèn)題之前沉默了一會(huì)兒。A選項(xiàng)應(yīng)用a moment； C選項(xiàng)表示某一點(diǎn)時(shí)間； D選項(xiàng)表示一段時(shí)間或一會(huì)兒，為正確選項(xiàng)。

　　I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone，“ Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are？”

　　At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires，and shouted at the phone，“Yeah! Who do you think you are？Bad telephone ! Bad telephone！”And she swept it into the wastebasket.

　　I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth?

　　She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this ! All objects in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go！”

　　Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly，“Honey，you just have to learn how to take control. ”With that, she left the room.

　　After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood(情緒) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics_helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

　　[語(yǔ)篇解讀]　“我”對(duì)自己的經(jīng)紀(jì)人取消我的表演并且不及時(shí)接電話(huà)的行為大為惱火，沖電話(huà)大吼以泄憤，但接著妻子就此事的一系列異常及夸張的行為讓我意識(shí)到自己對(duì)小事情反應(yīng)過(guò)火，最后我的情緒得到好轉(zhuǎn)，冷靜了下來(lái)。
