105、explanation解释。根据上文可知，教授很好奇为什么其他人在屋顶上很害怕，作者却不怕掉下去，所以本空应填explanation，故选D。【55题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：你们都努力低下身体因为屋顶的高度让你们害怕。A. height高度；B. length长度；C. width 宽度；D. depth深度。根据语境可知，屋顶太高了，其他人害怕会掉下去，故选A。【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如，第12小题要求判断学生们和石墙是怎么接触的。该题可根据这一段的 knees bent, backs arch
106、ed可知，学生们因为害怕而屈膝弓背，由此可判断他们是紧紧地抓住石墙，故选A项。还可以根据生活常识进行解答。比如：第9小题判断教授的脚步声，下文文提到Rather than walk facing forward, he moved sidesway 可知，教授是横着走而不是朝前走，所以脚步很奇怪。第二节(共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Wearing blue jeans, Gary stood in front of an expensive_56_ (tailor) shop.

111、裤，站在一家高档裁缝店前面。该空所给名词tailor（裁缝），应使用其名词所有格形式作shop的限定语，tailors shop表示“裁缝店”。故填tailors。【57题详解】考查固定短语。句意：售货员因为加里的穿着方式而瞧不起他。固定短语look down on/upon 表示“瞧不起，鄙视”符合语境。故填down。【58题详解】考查谓语动词时态语态。句意：售货员因为加里穿着方式而瞧不起他。在the way后面省略关系词的定语从句中，所给动词dress（给穿衣）作谓语动词，结合全文基本时态，应使用一般过去时，被动语态。故填was dressed。【59题详解】考查副词。句意：不耐烦地瞥了他
112、一眼，他低声对旁边主人说。分析句子，该空应填副词修饰动词glance at，所给形容词impatient，其副词impatiently。故填impatiently。【60题详解】考查名词。句意：在得到衣服主人的许可后，他说这套衣服已经卖出去了。该空需要一个名词作介词with的宾语，所给词permit是动词，其名词形式permission符合题意，故填 permission。【61题详解】考查宾语从句。句意：加里很生气，因为别人是凭他的衣着来判断他。分析句子，该空应填连词引导介词by的宾语从句，并且在宾语从句中，作wear的宾语。故填what。【62题详解】考查冠词。句意：找到那个店员后，他要求
113、看一下上层架子上一套看起来很昂贵的西装。上次加里收到一名售货员的歧视，第二天他穿着讲究又回到那家店，又找出昨天遇到的那个售货员，此处应特指昨天接待他的售货员。故填the。【63题详解】考查现在分词。句意：他用极大的耐心和困难爬上去把衣服取下来，并为让加里久等而道歉。该空所给动词apologize在句中伴随状语，与逻辑主语he主动关系，应使用现在分词。故填apologizing。【64题详解】考查副词。句意：然而，当加里更仔细地看了看它时，他说他不喜欢它。售货员费力找了来，加里却看了看说不喜欢，转折关系；前面the moment做为连词引导了时间状语从句，应填副词。故填however。【65题详
114、解】考查代词。句意：他玩得很开心，迫使售货员把店里几乎所有的东西都拿给他，最后他才决定买一条领带。固定短语enjoy oneself表示“做某事做地很开心”，加里故意捉弄那个以貌取人的售货员，以此为乐。故填himself。第四部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)66. 假如你是李华，你校上周举行了主题是“太空”的年度“科学节”活动，持续一周。请你为校英文报写一篇报道，内容包括：1.活动目的；2.具体活动；3.活动反响。注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Science Festival goes off with a bang!_【答案】Sci
