3.Bmetwithtroubles“遇到麻烦”。
由下一句中的“thenoiseandthesmokewouldkillcows...”可知,他遇到了麻烦。
4.Dtheengine“发动机”。
由空后的burst(爆炸)可知。
四个选项中只有D项的“发动机”可能发生爆炸。
5.Csetfireto“纵火”。
火烧的是人们居住的房屋,而不能是房间(rooms);如选building,则应用复数形式。
6.Amostpeople“大多数人”。
由时间状语Atthattime及下一句中的“...therewasnogreatdangertothem.”可知,在那时,大多数人相信他们所说的话。
7.Dtoldthepeople“告诉人们”。
如用explained或spoke,则用“explained/spoketothepeople”。
warn“警告”。
8.Bfullof“充满的”。
此处表示“车厢里装满了货物”。
9.B从上文看出要使人们相信他不是一件容易的事情。
easy“容易的”;difficult“困难的”;pleasant“令人愉快的”;light“轻的;光”。
10.Cmakethembelieve“使他们相信”。
get,keep和force后不接不带to的不定式作补足语。
11.Baftersometime“过了一段时间”。
sometimes和sometime不与after连用。
afewtimes表示“几次”。
12.B从先行词thefirsttrain和byStephenson可看出此处指“由某人驾驶”,即wasdriven。
13.Awhathehadsaid“他说的话”。
句中said少宾语,排除if和whether。
which表示“哪一个”,不合题意。
14.Dwhen引导定语从句。
该从句中不缺少主语、宾语,因此不用that引导。
15.C从noise看出此处用heard。
而listenedto侧重“听”的动作,不表示听的结果。
Ⅴ.七选五型阅读理解(每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。
