25、f 取笑； make use of 利用。3. B。从下文可知，表演像他期待的那样精彩，所以他被节目吸引了。be absorbed in 专心致志于，被吸引于。be tired of 厌倦.；be annoyed with 生.的气；be concerned about 关心，挂念。4. C。attend 照顾；treat 对待，治疗；cure 治愈；examine 仔细检查。因为祖父年纪大了，要找人照顾，而不是找医生治疗、检查等。5. A。be to blame 应受责备；be blamed for 因.被责备。从下文需要付罚款可知，说话人在争辩谁应该为此事负责，所以选A。6. B。many

26、，much，little，few加名词要用so修饰，而不可数名词progress需用much/little修饰，表示很大/小的进步，因为little此处不表示“体积或年龄小，而指“数量少，所以用so。7. C。句意：没有人提出比如今考虑中的更好的方案了。put forward 提出；come up 发生；come up to 到达。8. A。狼说话的声音是让别人害怕的，指性质，用-ing形式作定语；女孩儿感到害怕，指内心的感觉，用-ed形式作定语。9. B。in control of 在.的控制中；beyond control 无法控制；out of control 失去控制介词短语；lose

27、 control of 失去.的控制动词短语。句意：我们很吃惊，那个人过去别人都瞧不起，如今却控制着整个工程。10. A。明星出现了，他感到很冲动，而内心的感觉在脸上流露出来，因此用-ed形式修饰expression表情，表示“感到冲动的表情。11. D。因句子已经有了谓语will not be set设定，settle要用非谓语动词作定语，排除B、C；问题是被解决的，虽然settle在谓语动作前完成，但不能用A，因为如今分词的完成式不能作限制性定语。12. B。句意：土豆被暴露在阳光下会变绿。 when后省略了they are，因为状语从句的主语与主句主语一致，从句的谓语是be，所以可以省略

28、。expose与“Potatoes是被动关系，因此用过去分词与省略的are一起构成被动语态。13. C。价格是人为减少的，所以reduce减少与其被修饰词price是被动关系，用过去分词作定语。句意：这次降价每一打会为你节省一美元。14. A。 因为句子已经有谓语come，所以lose应用非谓语形式，排除D。lose与所修饰词things是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，选A。句意：我禁不住自语到：“失去的东西永远也回不来了。15. C。take a decision意为“做出决定，即take和decision是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。句意：既然我们讨论了问题，人们对所做的决定还满意吗

29、？二、完形填空1C。从上句“人脑 human mind 最值得称道的方面之一是我们想象将来的才能。可知。2A。我们对一个新地方或新国家的渴望的是“游览，而不是“寻找seek、发现discover或者“到达那一刻。3A。此段首句已经说明我们在头脑中“想象要发生的事，所以当我们渴望游览某地时，一定是“想象那个地方的样子，与下文“predict照应。4D。the way people will eat，dress and act 指人们吃饭、穿衣、举止的方式，the way后省略了关系代词in which/ that；custom 风俗，指特定区域、特定人群沿革下来的风气、礼节、习惯等的总称，此处词

30、义过大；habit 一般指某人长时间做某事的固定方式，此处词义过小；style 风格、风格，指特定时期、特定时期典型的行事、设计或消费等的特殊方式，不合题意。5C。下文“Things are often very different from the way说明作者想告诉我们想象并不总是正确。6D。expect 期待，意料，与前文中imagine对应。句意：事情经常与我们的期待的样子很不一样。 7C。从下文介绍的梦境可知这个梦不是可笑的funny、晦暗/呆笨的dull，也不是愚蠢的silly，所以选C著名的。8B。try to do sth. 设法去做某事；manage to do 设法去做而

31、且做成了某事。此处不提及结果，所以用try。9A。study 研究，指为了进一步理解而长时间地认真观察、检验某物；learn 学会；research 讨论，研究，指为了发现新现象、验证新思想而对一主题进展详细研究，不合适此句中为了一个详细问题的详细研究。10C。句意：似乎没有找到答案的方法了。used to do 过去常常；ought to 应该。11B。find out 弄明白，查清楚。从上题解析中的句意可知。 make out 识别出，理解，填写表格；turn out 结果是；let out 泄露，放出。12C。wake up 醒来，指从前面所说梦境中醒来就意识到了他发现了答案，而不是在之

32、后的坐起来或起床后。give up 放弃；sit up 熬夜，坐起。 13A。从上文可知，是在梦中解决了难题。14A。催眠人说话一定是很轻柔softly了。 15C。从下句“You know nothing but my voice可知。16A。要睡着了当然是眼皮开场重了，要睁不开了。从下段第一句也可以看出。 17D。句意：你会听见我的声音而且明白我的话。因为被催眠人要听催眠人的指令，所以要明白催眠人的意思。18D。被催眠不是真正的睡眠，因为假如真的睡着了，他就对催眠人的指令没有反响了，所以really确实地和actually 实际上不合题意。extremely 极端地。19B。从下文“You will forget everything可知。20A。count 数数。say后直接接所说内容作宾语，如say hello，而from one to five是个范围，不是宾语。三、阅读理解1A。主旨大意题。本文主
