20、、损害或某种不幸遭遇。该词也可作名词。hurt为一般用语，指对肉体或精神上的伤害；hurt用作不及物动词时，还可表示“疼痛”。injure主要指在事故中受伤，其名词是injury，可指平时的大小创伤或伤害，还可指事故中的伤害。2【答案】 (1)roseraise(2)risen(3)raised(4)raised(5)lift(6)rises【解析】rise作不及物动词用，不能带宾语，意思是“上升，升起”，多表示起身、起立、起床、上涨，(太阳、月亮等)升起等。一般说明主语自身移向较高的位置。raise和lift是及物动词，后面一定要带宾语。有些情况下两者可换用。但是如果表示抽象意义，比如提高政

22、ea来表示。同样，英语中还有make coffee。45Athe next moment意为“紧接着”。46C结合下文看，此处是“提起一壶开水”。47A“朝”门口走去。48B伸进来的是“手”(hand)，下文有说明。49C“倒开水；泼水”用pour。50D开水猛然浇到手上，发出的是尖叫声，并非其他几种声音。51D从上文得知，应该是铁丝掉在地上。52A紧接着是逃走的脚步声。53A句型“It wasnt long before (后接从句) ”表示“不久”。54B如此智勇兼备，自然在club中受到赞扬。55B以上行为属于“自我保护”(selfprotection)。五、阅读理解【答案解析】1C由“People there think that it is important to know the time.”可知是C项。2C综合前文，还有“.do not like to rush.”可得知rush的意思。3C由“You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment with someone，he would probably be late.”可知。版权所有：高考资源网()
