A 解析： 情态动词表推测。may, may be, might 都是情态动词，后面应该接动词原型。但是题目中的动词是went，因此可以排除BCD。选择A15.A 解析： 考察动词词义。 destroy毁灭，毁坏； kill 杀死； murder谋杀；built建设，根据题意，火灾爆发，因此毁坏了许多建筑。 完形填空本篇完形填空是一篇记叙文，讲述的兄弟之情的感人故事。词 性题 号名词，名词短语或代词（7个）1，2，6，11，12，15动词或动词短语（8个）3，4，5，8，10，形容词/副词（5个）7，9，13，141.A考查名词。此题较难，因为在前文没有出现相关的信息，需要耐心阅读一直到第二段第二排可以看到painting，在此可以判断出。2.C考查代词。any表示两者以上的任何一个，all 所有的， both 两者都， neither两者都不。 文中说这个家庭情况不好，因此无法把兄弟两个都送去。因此选择C。 3.B 考查动词短语辨析。look out小心，注意； work out 制定； take out 拿出； get out出去。根据题意，兄弟两人制定出一个计划。4.D 考查动词短语。go off, 离开； go away 离去； go down 下去； go up 上去。根据后面所说的矿井，用go down into the mines,异味下矿井。5.A考查动词。support 支持，供； agree 同意， follow 跟随， let 让。根据前后文，support ones studying at the college 供某人读大学。 因此选A。6.C考查了名词。根据前后文比较容易得出答案C.7.A 考察形容词的比较级。根据前文所说James worked all his heart 用尽心血,可以知道他最后会比老师都画的好。因此选择better8.B考查动词过去时。根据前后文可知这个时候James 已经毕业。9.B考查副词。When引导的是时间状语从句。10.D考查了动词。pick up捡起； turn up打开； look up查阅； stand up 站起. 从上下文以及后文的seat 都可以知道本处应该是站起来的意思。选择stood11.A考查名词。从后文的之间引语之中的Jack 可以判断是brother而不是其他的家庭成员。12.C考查名词。梦想成真 dream will come true。13.D考查副词。本处要根据上下文的情感判断。happily开心地; surprised 惊讶的；angrily生气地；softly平静的。根据上下文，可以排除前面三项。14.B考查了形容词。多年井下的工作让他的手已经无法做太多事，现在对他画画而言已经太晚了。Its too late太晚。15.D考查了名词。这里所说的是他兄弟手指着天的姿态，而且在手上的只有是fingers而不是其
