19、 tomb; 1922; Valley of the Kings, EgyptV. 完形填空：1C 。通读全文，特别是短文末尾一句知，亚历山大是去贝尔法斯特做讲座。Give a lecture意为“演讲，做讲座”，give sb. a lecture相当于teach sb. a lesson意为“教训某人”。其余选择不合习惯用法和语境。2B。 there指上句中的Belfast 。3B。 他到达机场后，发现机票被订购一空。4A。 当发现机票被订购一空而且他和其他乘客都无座位时，他感到惊讶烦恼。这一异常情况为下文作了铺垫。5D 。other“其他的”，为形容词。6C。 管理员非常抱歉，并且作了解
20、释。7B 。指去贝尔法斯特的机票座位，其他选项均与此题无关。8D 。结合本文语境，上下对照，可知这里应选与政府要员相对的“普通”乘客。9C 。throw off意为“摆脱掉，仍掉”，为固定搭配。此处指“普通”乘客不能乘坐本次班机。10B 。介词for跟一段时间连用。通常和现在完成时连用。11A 。一个月前我就买了机票，但现在不能乘机，而政府要员刚买上就可以，这简直太不公平了。Fair意为“公正的，公平的”。12C 。从本文末尾句的tonight可知，“我必须今天到达贝尔法斯特”13A 。all作government passengers的同位语，进一步强调他们的重要性。14C 。既然政府要员们
21、有优先权，那么让他们乘坐下次班机是不可能的。15B 。as引导一时间状语从句，just在此处加强as的语气，just as意为“正当之时”。16D 。damand此处意为“询问”。17C 。“so+adj. 或adv.+that”结果状语从句意为“如此以致”。18D 。这几个情态动词在使用时应注意加以区别：ought to意为“应当，应该”，语气比较强烈。Should表示“决心，应该”，语气较弱。Must强调主观上“必须，一定”，have to强调客观上“必须，不得不，只好”。19B 。a matter of great urgency意为“非常紧急的事情”。20C 。lose意为“丢失（东西）”。如I lost my pen.我把钢笔丢了。Miss意为“丢失、迷路、想念、错过”，这里指我们不能错过听讲座的机会。- 4 - 版权所有高考资源网
