38、, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beachhouse.52A.calm BfrighteningCbeautiful Ddisgusting【解析】设空所在句的句意为“她听到一个平静的声音”。由前文可知，老人知道她去游泳了，从后文可知他准备好了船来救她，并且他说希望她已经得到一个教训了，因此老人是有备而来，此刻的声音应该是平静的。【答案】AA(2012辽宁高考)Kruger had gone down to the basement to 1(shut_off) the wood stove for the night.When he was f

40、除march前进，行军；fly飞行和struggle挣扎。正确选项为climbed爬。【答案】D3A.bent BhitCshook Dpulled【解析】运用反比否定法，根据空前的he slipped以及空后的against an old shelf我们可知，他跌倒了，撞到了一个旧的橱子上，故可排除bend弯曲；shake摇动和pull拖拉，因为这三个动作都不可能出现语境中的“滑倒”，撞到地方。【答案】BB(2013北京高考)Lola doesnt want to be 4(treated) differently from the other girls on her team.

41、ompetitions, the judges dont know about her vision 5(problems). She doesnt tell them, because she doesnt think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her_6_attitude.6A.positive BfriendlyCflexible Dcautious【解析】在队里她不希望受到特别的优待，在打比赛时不想让裁判知道她视力有问题，这是因为她把自己当成一个正常人，妈妈对她这种乐观的生活态度感到很吃惊。positive积极的，乐观的，符合语境。

42、friendly友好的；flexible灵活的；cautious小心翼翼地，均不符合语境。【答案】A课后限时自测(十七)(对应学生用书第367页)(建议用时：30分钟).语法填空The cold came a little bit _1_(early) this winter.The weather has been tough and unforgiving.Beijing witnessed the earliest snowfall since the 1950s on Nov.3.

46、e cold to accumulate，”explained Wang Jiaoyan，_10_ engineer at China Meteorological Administration.【答案】1earlier考查形容词比较级。句意为：今年冬天冷空气来得稍早一点。a little bit“少许，一点儿”，根据语境应用形容词比较级。2causing考查非谓语动词。Cold weather与cause是逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用cause的现在分词形式作结果状语。3but考查连词。该空前后是转折关系，故应用转折连词but。4where考查非限制性定语从句。先行词是the North Pol

47、e，空处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，故填where。5it考查代词。空处指代the Arctic，应用it。6how考查宾语从句的引导词。空处引导宾语从句，表示方式，应填how。句意：大量海洋冰块的消失会改变空气在大气中的循环方式。7melting考查非谓语动词。根据下文的“releases more ocean water”可知，这里指的是“正在融化的冰块”，因此用现在分词作定语。8results考查动词时态。result是定语从句中的谓语，定语从句的主语是先行词more ocean water，且表示一般的情况，故应用一般现在时。9into考查介词。transform.int

48、o.是固定搭配，意思为“把转化为”。10an考查冠词。空处及其后面的部分在句中作同位语，泛指一位工程师，且engineer的读音以元音音素开头，故应用不定冠词an。.阅读理解The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean.It was one of the poorest nations in the region.Within the last five years，however，it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers.In
