Answer 1

1．B 后一句說(shuō)到in the water ，可見(jiàn)選B。

2．A have fun 玩得高興。

3．C 其他三個(gè)搭配不對(duì)，更不用說(shuō)上下文的意思了。

4．C 如果你真的把一根棍子扔到水里的話。

5．A 拿起Rex的照片，我有記起了塵封的記憶。 讀到這里，你看出Rex是什么了嗎？ A dog 。

6．D when 指前句的時(shí)間the night ，引導(dǎo)詞在從句只和時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。

7．A 由下文it might easily have been half a mile 可知此處表示距離遠(yuǎn)近，“誰(shuí)也不知道他從多遠(yuǎn)的地方，從哪個(gè)地方弄來(lái)的”。

8．A 表猜測(cè)，“可能有半里地”，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有could 表“可能，或許”。

9．B 由下文“有人丟棄的”及后面we threw it away 可知此處用worthless (沒(méi)有任何價(jià)值的)而不用A priceless（珍貴的）。

10．C 別人把這個(gè)小匣子扔掉了。

11．A 別人把它丟棄了，Rex卻把它大老遠(yuǎn)弄來(lái)，這是因?yàn)镽ex這條狗認(rèn)為……。（此處用because表人們推測(cè)的原因。）

12．B 下文說(shuō)We came downstairs 可知當(dāng)時(shí)我們?cè)趗pstairs，因此我們只可能是在上面聽(tīng)到樓下的響聲，因此也就有下文的It sounded.

13．C “仿佛，好像”，描述一個(gè)與真實(shí)相反的假定事實(shí)。

14．D tear down 拆散、拆掉，tear up 撕成碎片。

15．D 由上文“我們聽(tīng)到門(mén)廳的動(dòng)靜”可知，“下樓把門(mén)廳的燈打開(kāi)”觀察事態(tài)。

16．C Rex要把chest弄進(jìn)來(lái)，但它在門(mén)口卡住了，以至于Rex要把它弄上來(lái)時(shí)發(fā)出陣陣響聲。catch 在本句中表示“卡住、困住”。

17．C 半夜三更時(shí)發(fā)生的這件事，要不是我們出現(xiàn)的話，它會(huì)堅(jiān)持到天亮的，聯(lián)系上文的test his courage , hold his own , 這狗還真有點(diǎn)韌性。

18．B 如果我們把箱子扔近了，Rex會(huì)再次把它弄來(lái)的。

19．D 畢竟它有這種長(zhǎng)途搬運(yùn)的能力（它還會(huì)這樣干的）。

20．A 它總愛(ài)向我們展示它的這種能力。
