20、的 “makes sounds”可判断Beans试图用言语进行回答。5C我们选择了一条不同的路，所以应是走进了不熟悉的路。6B由后边的“be for off course (远离了道路)”可推断作者本以为这条平时不走的小径能通往熟悉的“道路”。7A根据下文的 “So I urged, Beans, take me home.”可以推断“我”突然意识到Beans可能知道回家的路。8D由“He ran down a new trail.But it merely led to an intersection of trails.”可推断其实Beans并不知道回家的路，显然我们已经迷路了。9B由第一

21、段“This trail is one of the old roads that wind through untold miles of forest”的提示可判断选B，意为“在森林中到处走”。10A根据句中but所表示的转折关系，再结合“The sniffing and exploring was going well for him.”的提示推断，迷路一事“我”着急，但Beans并不关心。11B幸运女神建议“我”往左走，即“我”幸运地选择了向左走，故应选B。12D很快就来到一处村舍，shortly意为“不久”，符合语境。13Bknock on the door 敲门。14C从我们的冒险

22、经历推断了Beans可能一直知道回家的路，他只是喜欢探险新的路径罢了。15A根据全文可知Beans喜欢探索新路，故应选A。二、本文主要讲述了玛丽对班上新来的一个外国学生的描述及自身的一些心理活动。1wearing考查非谓语动词。因已有谓语动词appeared，动词wear前又没有并列连词，即wear不是并列谓语，它应该是非谓语动词，作状语，表示伴随情况；又因he与wear是主动关系，故用现在分词。2had bought考查动词时态。在主格人称代词he后，显然是作谓语；又因他不可能买下了这个学校，故应用虚拟语气，与过去事实相反，故填had bought。3pleased考查词形变化。在系动词fe

23、lt后作表语，用形容词，表示“高兴的”。4the考查冠词。特指最后的那一排，用定冠词。5If考查连词。因he thought.与he was wrong是两个句子，且两者之间没有关联词，必定是填关联词；根据两句之间的逻辑关系，应填表示条件关系的连词if(如果，要是)。6harder考查比较级。作宾补依然是要用形容词，所以不作词类转换，可考虑比较级；句中a little修饰比较级harder，表示“更难一点”。7which考查从属连词。引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子。8for考查介词。表示某个动词或状态延续了多久，用“for时间段”。9what考查从属连词。引导宾语从句并在从句中作d

24、o的宾语，故用连接代词。10them考查代词。代替前面的those glasses，作took off的宾语，用人称代词的宾格。三、本文讲述了一个感人的故事。儿子天生没有耳朵，母亲将自己的耳朵献给了儿子。母亲去世后，父亲才将这个秘密告诉儿子。1C细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“The baby had been born without ears.”可知答案为C。2B细节理解题。由第二段的“When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mothers arms，she sighed，knowing that his life was to be misfortunate.”可知答案为B。3C细节理解题。从文章最后可知是母亲献出了自己的耳朵。4B词义猜测题。父亲拨开母亲的头发，揭示了母亲将自己的耳朵捐给儿子的真相，因此，此处reveal是“显示”的意思。5C主旨大意题。综观全文，可知“耳朵”是贯穿文章的线索。故选C。
