解析21. 形容詞辨析。從drove以及下文making fun of her. 可以看出，應該是使她很生氣。Crazy“非常生氣”又如：That noise is driving me crazy.
Hopeless是令人失望的，而不是失望的，如：Most of the students are making good progress but Jeremy seems a hopeless case,大多數(shù)學生進步都很快, 但杰里米卻似乎無可救藥。
painful“使疼痛的，令人煩惱的”，而不是“煩惱的”。如：It was painful to admit that I was wrong.
dull, 令人厭煩的; 單調(diào)的，而不是“煩惱的”如：: The conference was deadly dull.
備考：準確掌握詞義，在學習這類形容詞時，要尤其注意是主動意味，還是被動意味，又如：interesting 令人感興趣的，有趣的，interested 感興趣的。主動意味的多用于事物，被動意味的多用于人。The book is interesting. I’m interested in the book. 本題中：除A以外的三個詞，都是“令人……，使人感到……”，很顯然用于the woman是不合適的。
22.動詞詞義。從run away with pears看出，應該是大聲的喊，shout，大聲說出。Whisper是低聲說。Call做喊叫講不帶表示內(nèi)容的的賓語。Announce，通知。
備考：做完形填空一定要注意上下文。不可只看一句話。
23. 動詞。從one evening 以及下文的next morning可看出是請求過夜。stay for the night 過夜，固定搭配。
24.形容詞。從常識可知，留宿陌生人應該考慮他是否是誠實。從下文let him in 看出是允許進入。故選B. honest，與下文This one did not look trustworthy to her呼應。
25. 動詞。既然允許過夜，接下來最有可能的應該是招待。treat 招待，款待，其它選項不符合情理。
26.名詞詞義辨析。從下文that引導同位語從句的內(nèi)容看，應該是她的一個很難實現(xiàn)的愿望。suggestion 建議demand 要求 permission 允許，均對題意不符。
27.同位語從句。wish是先行詞，同位語從句謂語動詞用should + 動詞原形，另外，could不能與be able to連用。
28.動詞。根據(jù)上下文，沒有她的允許不得下來。
29. 名詞。到樹上當然是偷摘果實（梨）了。branch 樹枝； food 食物； tree 樹，均不符合題意。
30.連詞。長時間的請求后，老太太才讓梨樹放他們下來。Before，在……之前，才……
31.代詞。當然是放偷梨的孩子走了。用them指代偷梨的孩子
32.名詞。這樣的整治，孩子們當然不敢來了，老太太自然就沒有這個麻煩了。
33.動詞。據(jù)上下文，有一個停在她家門前請求住宿。Stop at 在某處停下來。
34.連詞。看見這個人不太可信，所以要查問他了。有因果關系
35.介詞。take sb with sb 帶某人走，
36.從上下文可知，是摘一些梨作為紀念。從climb可以看出是要上樹采摘，而不是挑選或搖動。
37.形容詞。從文章一開始，She spent all her time taking care of the tree.可知老太太與這棵梨樹的深厚感情。摘幾顆梨應該是想記住它所帶給她的快樂了。從文章中也沒有看到，梨樹給他帶了什么榮譽、希望或者是什么興奮的事情。
38.形容詞。從climb high to get the best fruit可知，是老太太以“年老爬不上樹”為由誘騙“death” 上樹（進入陷阱）
39.形容詞。Will you be so kind to do sth 請求別人幫助，固定表達法。
40.形容詞。從With a deep sigh可知，Death并不愿意為他爬樹摘梨，但念及快要死的人了，就答應了，但不會很樂意的，unwillingly 不樂意地。Disappointedly是失望的，這里death并沒有什么愿望，也就談不上失望了。
