Fred entered without knocking and, very out of breath, sank _________ a chair.


  1. A.
    on
  2. B.
    off
  3. C.
    into
  4. D.
    to
C
解析：考查介詞的用法。句意為：Fred沒(méi)有敲門(mén)就闖進(jìn)來(lái)了，然后氣喘吁吁地坐到椅子上。本題sink into (a chair)表示“沉下、沉落、陷入”�！皏ery out of breath”為伴隨狀語(yǔ)。很多考生誤選A項(xiàng)，試比較：sit on/in the chair (wheelchair)。同時(shí)注意sink into/in/to sth.的一些引申含義，試比較：The rain sank into the dry ground.（雨水滲進(jìn)地里）Let this warning sink into your mind.（把這個(gè)警告銘記于心）He was sunk in thought/despair.（他陷入沉思/失望）His voice sank to a whisper.（他的聲音降低成耳語(yǔ)）此外，介詞與動(dòng)詞、名詞、形容詞的習(xí)慣搭配也不能忽視。

Every night for a year, Neil Simmons quietly went out of his house. He wanted to “talk” to an owl settling for the night at the end of his garden. He made owl cries like a real wild owl (貓頭鷹)and was happy to hear the bird “hooting (大聲叫囂)” back to him.

Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard an owl hooting and answered back. For 12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr. Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out again tonight if it wasn’t for a chance talk between their wives.

Mr. Simmons said. “My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my owl watching and described how I got the birds to boot back. She said, ‘That’s funny — that’s just what Fred has been doing.’ Then the penny dropped, I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake.”

Mr. Cornes said, “I’m really flattered (過(guò)獎(jiǎng)). I didn’t know I sounded so real. I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls. I was very excited when they hooted back. I’m sorry that I was fooling my neighbor who was fooling me.”

45．After the talk between the wives, the two men would probably _________ .

A．stop observing owls            B．not stay up hooting again

C．not enter the back garden again   D．make no mistakes about wild owl cries

46．“Then the penny dropped.” most probably means “Then __________.”

A．I understood                     B．everybody knew about it

      C．I heard the noise                  D．no money was paid

47．Mr. Simmons felt upset about the whole thing because __________.

A．a(chǎn)ll his efforts seemed to be meaningless

B．his wife let out his secret by chance

C．garden owls hooted so differently

D．Fred had been doing the same

48．The text suggests that __________.

A．Nail seldom heard natural owl calls

B．the owl never hooted back to Neil

C．Fred was always good at pleasing owls

D．owl watching is no longer interesting to Fred
