hugs一 、单项填空【答案】b【解析】考查动词短语。a项“逃离，脱身”；b项“接手，接管”；c项“动身，启程”；d项“用完，用尽”。根据句意，当mitchell退职的时候briggs会接任，故答案选b。解析：句意为：根据我奶奶的说法，感冒时喝鸡汤是个好主意。信不信由你，科学家们与她的看法相同。sooner or later迟早；once in a while时不时地；to be exact确切地说；believe it or not信不信由你。根据上下文可知，believe it or not符合语境。答案：dc考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们每个人都有可能养成对某些娱乐活动的偏爱。preference 偏爱，爱好；符合语境。comparison 比较；possession 拥有；advantage 优点。【译文】 众所周知，好朋友给说增添快乐和价值。【答案及简析】 b。

、完形填空答案与解析：1d从文章最后的smoking can kill me可知抽烟不但有害，而且还很危险(dangerous)。2d作者尝试戒烟，但不能(couldnt)戒掉。3a指请求作者戒烟，故用it指代抽烟。4c作者下决心戒烟，但很快(shortly)又开始吸了。5b作者继承了aunt的房子，将它出租，当然可赚得些额外(extra)的钱。6cbe due to do sth.意为“预定要干某事”，符合语境。7d这里指确保(make sure)有足够的丙烷，让冰箱和炉子运行。8c从上题解析可知应用run。run此处意为“(使某物)运转，起作用”。9b在远处透过树林看这个房子作者想起了aunt。10b从常识及下文的the voice grew stronger可知应该是voice。11c从上文可知，作者的aunt，就是因为吸烟患肺癌而死，再结合此处作者的aunt告诫如果不戒烟，它会让作者丢掉性命。12a随着作者靠近(approach)房子aunt的声音变得越来越大。13d好像aunt就站在我身边一样，故用as if。14c想起aunt的话，终于作者不能再忍受(bear)，把烟熄灭了。15a从前面的i smothered(弄熄)it可知是灭掉烟，故用put out。16b把烟弄熄后，作者开始作思想斗争，抵制(resist)想抽烟的诱惑。17d下文反复提到房子里丙烷泄漏了，这里指气味(smell)很强烈。18b指以前的租客(renter)忘记关气罐了。19c指整个房子里都弥漫着丙烷气体。fill up with意为“充满”。20a作者想到如果自己还在抽烟的话，后果不堪设想，当然是害怕(frightened)了。 三
