28、.单项填空1C句意为：到他认识到已经中计的时候，再做任何事情也就不济于事了。根据句意，可知本句讲的是现在的事情，故用现在时，排除B、D两项，本句强调“已经中计”，用完成体，故答案为C。2Da failure一个失败者；end in failure以失败告终。3A随着年龄的增长，你会获得更多经验。4Abe/get caught in是固定搭配，指“突然碰上；突然遭受”，多用于被动结构。5C整个地区被大雪封闭了。cut off使 (人、城镇、地区)封闭孤立。6DA、B项为及物动词，不符合题意，manage不符合题意；react回应。7C根据前面的looked here and there判断，我们

31、sth.表示意想不到的结果。.完形填空【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。圣诞节前夕，Carl Fenter到处寻找玉米粉蒸肉，终于在一家店找到了玉米粉蒸肉。等待的时候，他在寒风中脱下自己的外套给一个同样在等待的母亲穿上，而这一善举使他得到了回报：这位女士后来专程给他家送去了他要买而没买到的玉米粉蒸肉。1B从语境的连贯判断选B，Carl Fenter说，家里是温暖的，可是在这里，早晨的寒风冷得很不正常。2A在这寒冷的日子，晚上在教堂做完圣诞节前夕的礼拜后回家和家人一起享受玉米粉蒸肉的盛宴，这样的点子或想法应该用brilliant来描述。a brilliant idea：绝妙的想法/主意。3A从语境的连

32、贯看，本题用were：谁能想到，城里的玉米粉蒸肉在圣诞节前夕都卖完了呢？可是这些玉米粉蒸肉的确被卖完了。4B在几家店铺都没有买到玉米粉蒸肉，而他下定决心一定要买一份带回家，于是他开车跑遍了El Paso，并来到这最后一家卖玉米粉蒸肉的店铺。5D语境提到“45分钟之后，从锅上下来”，可见此处表示这家店铺的玉米粉蒸肉再过45分钟就能出锅了，用(be)due表示“预期发生”。6C这里用take ones place表示“就位，就座”：于是，他在人群后面开始排队等候购买。7D从语境的连贯判断选D，remove“移开，脱下，去掉”：他注意到，在他前面的那位女士把自己的外套脱下来，给自己冻得发抖的孩子披上。8C没过多久，这位母亲自己也冻得瑟瑟发抖。这里用shake表示“发抖”，与前面的shivering呼应，而freeze表示“冻僵”，不符合语境叙述的排队买东西的场景。9C从语境和选项判断选C“犹豫，迟疑”：看见这番情景，Carl Fenter迟疑片刻，将自己的外套脱下来，递给这位母亲。10A面对这样的情景，这位母亲当然是非常感激，而不是B.让人尊敬的C.绝望的D.羞愧的。11A当队伍开始向前移动(玉米粉蒸肉终于出锅了)，微笑的人们带着热腾腾的玉米粉蒸肉走出店铺，他们一起欢呼雀跃。12D前面的人群终于散尽，轮到他购买了。13D他走进店铺，向柜台慢慢地挪过去。
