　　5．He was hit by a falling tree that night and killed________.

　　A．on the spot

　　B．in a spot

　　C．under the spot

　　D．on a spot

　　C．on a diet

　　D．in order

　　答案：A　考查介詞短語(yǔ)的用法。從下文“她一定是個(gè)乞丐”來推測(cè)，“這位老太太穿得很破”，故用in rags。in good condition“情況很好”；on a diet“吃規(guī)定的食物”；in order“整齊”，均不符合句意。

　　8．I had just got up and was about to cook my breakfast________the telephone rang loudly, but it hung up________I could answer it.

　　A．while; when

　　B．when; as

　　C．a(chǎn)s; after

　　C．smoking; to smoke

　　D．to smoke; smoking

　　11．After a long journey________through Arabic countries, he returned to the motherland.

　　A．wondering

　　B．wondered

　　C．wandering

　　D．wandered

　　答案：C　本題考查詞形易混詞語(yǔ)wonder與wander。句意：在阿拉伯國(guó)家漂泊很久之后，他返回了祖國(guó)。wander意為“漫游，漂泊”，符合語(yǔ)境。wonder意為“驚奇，想知道”。wander與邏輯主語(yǔ)之間為主謂關(guān)系，所以用v.-ing形式。

　　12．After losing $20, 000 on my last business venture. I'm not taking________this time.

　　A．a(chǎn)ny chances

　　B．a(chǎn)ny turns

　　C．a(chǎn) tip

　　A．which

　　B．a(chǎn)s

　　C．why

　　D．where

　　答案：D　scene為先行詞時(shí)，定語(yǔ)從句中缺少狀語(yǔ)，所以用where引導(dǎo)。句意：在觀看《泰坦尼克號(hào)》時(shí)，Jack為了救那個(gè)女孩的生命而葬身于冰冷的海水里的那一幕使大部分人都情不自禁地哭了。

　　15．As far as I remember, my parents always reminded me of my table________during dinner.

　　A．ways

　　B．means

　　C．manners

　　D．habits

　　答案：C　句意：在我記憶里，父母總是提醒我在吃飯時(shí)注意餐桌禮儀。table manners為常見短語(yǔ)，意為“餐桌禮儀”。
