21、告诉我们：真正的爱并非一定要建立在利益、情义或血缘的关系之上，很多时候出于天性。1B由下文的描述可以看出，他们在使用烟熏的方法迫使老鼠从洞里出来。所以选to force“强迫”。而不是诱骗(trap)，邀请(invite)，释放(free)它们。2A由语境可知这些人熏跑老鼠的目的是翻新谷仓，所以在翻新前进行打扫(clean up)，符合语境。其他几个选项均无此意。3D其他的老鼠已经逃离，结合下文对这两只老鼠的描述可以看出，这里要表示“却见有两只老鼠在洞口处推挤”。所以只有squeeze能形象地描述出当时的情景。4C下一句告诉我们“在洞口一只老鼠追逐着另外一只”，由此可以推断它们没有立即(imm
22、ediately)逃走。approximately“近似，大约”；certainly“当然，一定，无疑”；eventually“最终，终于”，均不符合语境。5A众人对这两只老鼠奇怪的表现(没有立即逃跑)都很纳闷，所以这四个词中只有puzzled(困惑的)符合语境。moved有很大的干扰性，但人们现在还不知道真相，所以应该排除。6D这里强调一开始不知道，经过一段时间或一些事情后才逐步“意识到”，所以要选D，而recognize则强调从记忆的搜索中辨认出人、物、声音、方位等。7B由下文的“could not see anything”可以看出，一只老鼠的眼睛是“瞎的”，所以选择blind。8B可以
23、看出，另一只正设法使对方咬住自己的尾巴，然后一起(together)逃走。而不是separately“单独地，分离地”；deliberately“故意地”；accidentally“偶然地”。9C此处意为“目睹了这一切，众人都默然不语”。所以选C，意为“目击，目睹”。而experience“经历”；promote“促进”；undergo“经历，遭受”，均不符合句意。10Bbe lost in thought“陷入沉思”。lose face“丢脸”，lose heart“灰心丧气”，均不符合语境。11D由下文的“expressed their agreement”可以看出，众人思考了一会儿后，觉
24、得此人“言之有理”，所以选择make sense，意思是“讲得通，有意义”。12D既然自己的观点得到了众人的认可，那么他当然感到自我满足，所以应该选择selfsatisfaction(自满，沾沾自喜)。selfesteem“自尊，自信，自尊心”；selfconfidence“自信”；selfconsciousness“害羞，局促不安”。13B由下文他的推断(mother and son)可以看出，这个中国人强调孝义，所以应该选择parents。14A众人又思考了一会，觉得这个更合理。这里对应的是第一个人提出观点后众人的反应“thought for a while.”，所以这里选择Once ag
25、ain(再一次)。15B由下文对这个Samaritan(撒玛利亚人)的描述以及他的观点可以看出，他是很单纯的。如果不注意上下文的语境考生很容易误选simpleminded(愚蠢的，头脑简单的)。16Acertain在这里表示“某种”。由前面众人对这两只老鼠的关系做出的种种猜测，再结合下文的描述可以看出，这里要表达的意思是“为什么那两只老鼠一定要有某种关系呢？”17C撒玛利亚人的一句话使大家感触颇深，因此这里的意思是：空气在刹那间凝固了，众人呆呆地望着这个撒玛利亚人，一语不发。故答案选C。18A由本段第一句话以及空前的remained可以看出，应该选择speechless，意思是“无语的”。句意
26、见上题解析。harmless“无害的，不致伤的”；hopeless“没有希望，不可救药的”；stainless“无污点的”，均不符合文意。19Dlower“低下”，这里要表达的意思是：先前说话的人都面露惭色地低下头不敢作声。后面的“in shame”暗示了答案。20C由语境可知，这里要表达的意思是：事实上，真正的爱并非一定要建立在利益、友情、孝义或血缘的关系上。下文“it is based on”有暗示。.阅读理解A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time.Hobbyists raise pets，
