clarke每到星期四下午都去女子俱乐部打发时间。2a.learned bfound csensed dhoped答案c从后面的几个问句来看，她对是否出现了问题还没有把握，故这只是她回到家时的一种“感觉”，觉得有点“反常”，但不能说是learn(得知)，find(发现)，更不能是hope(希望)。sense在此为动词，意为“觉察到，感觉到”。3a.sight bexhibition cnote dsign答案d从the back door and the windows were all locked及下文来看，此处应用sign，即没有人强行进入的迹象/痕迹(sign)。4a.watching bsearching clooking dchecking答案d从had anything been taken来看，她仍不知道是否丢失了东西，由此可推测此时只能是“核实”一下是否有丢失的东西，而不是注视着(watch)，搜查(search)或看(look)。5a.late bdinner cusual down答案c由第1段第1句话知她每逢星期四下午就到女子俱乐部去，由此可推测在下星期四她又像往常一样出门了。at her usual time指在往常的时间，与往常一样。6a.open bback cfront dbroken答案b为防止被贼看到，mrs. clarke从后门偷偷地进了家门。前面已提到她已把门锁上了，故排除open。7a.drinking bmaking cpouring dplanting答案b从下文的mrs. clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand来看，此处说的是她正在沏茶(make tea)，并非是喝茶(drink tea)或倒茶(pour tea)或种茶(plant tea)。8a.saw bwatched cheard dsmelled答案c从上下文来看，贼在外面，mrs. clarke在里面，只能是听到外面letterbox被打开，而see，watch，smell都不合此时捉贼的情景。9a.wood bequipment cchalk dwire答案d从后面的a sharp cry was heard outside as the wire fell to the floor来看，此处说的是盗贼用铁丝作工具来行窃。10a.discovered bbroughtcraised dsupported答案c前面说当出现动静时她正在沏茶，此处说的是她举起沏茶用的热水壶，然后把水浇在伸进来的那只手上。11a.soft bgentle csharp dloud答案c她举起热水壶把开水浇在那只手上，由此可想象那人应是痛得尖叫起来，即a sharp cry。12a.pushed bput cstuck dfell答案d由一声尖叫可推测，那只手被烫着了，由此可判断此处说的是铁丝掉到了地上。fall to the floor意为“掉到地上”。13a.walking bjumping crunning dsteady答案c这是盗贼被冷不防遭到袭击后的反应：先是铁丝掉到了地上，接着把手缩回去，然后就逃跑了，故此处说的是她听到了逃跑的脚步声。14a.admired bencouragedcinstructed dsupported答案amrs clarke凭借智慧捉到了小偷，自然在女子俱乐部受人羡慕/受到了赞扬。admire有“夸奖，赞扬”的意思。15a.selfsatisfaction bselfprotectioncselfrespect dselfservice答案b结合全文，可知她这种做法是“自我保护”，故用selfprotection。.语法填空阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。it was a very cold evening，an old man was waiting for a ride

the assumption that drama evolved(演化)from ceremony.the argument for this view goes as follows.in the beginning，human beings viewed the natural forces of the worldeven the seasonal changesas unpredictable，and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers.those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then kept and repeated until they hardened into fixed ceremonies.eventually stories arose which explained the mysteries of the ceremonies.as time passed some ceremonies were abandoned，but the stories，later called myths，remained and provided material for art and drama.those who believe that drama evolved out of ceremony also argue that those ceremonies contained the seed of theater because music，dance，masks，and costumes were almost always used.furthermore，a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate，a clear division was usually made between the“acting area”and the“auditorium”in addition，there were performers，and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the performing of ceremonies，religious leaders usually took that task.wearing masks and costumes，they often acted other people，animals，or supernatural beings，and imitated the desired effectsuccess in hunt or battle，the coming rain，etc.as an actor might.eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.another theory traces(追溯)the theaters origin from the human interest in storytelling.according to this view，tales(about the hunt，war，etc)are gradually developed，at first through the use of action and dialogue，and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.a closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了希腊戏剧的起源以及其发展的过程。26which is the best title of the passsge?areligious activities in
