13、ear参考答案一、1. turning 2. Making 3. talking 4. being 5. persuading 6. repairing/to be repaired 7. Swimming 8. to go 二、 1. B本句中的we can imagine作定语修饰the only way；the only way后接of doing sth或to do sth，由此可排除A项和C项；reduce “减少”；defeat “击败”。从句意上来看此处用reduce表示“减少学生浴室的过度用水”，排除D项。2. Dremember to do sth“记住去做某事”；remem
14、ber doing sth“记得做过某事”。此处用being taken表示“我仍旧记得被带着去天安门广场以及我在那儿所见到的一切”。3. Aforbid doing sth“禁止做某事”；be forbidden to do sth的含义是“被禁止做某事”。4. Bappreciate意为“感激”，后接动名词作宾语，意为“感激做某事”。5. Dregret to do sth表示“遗憾要做某事”；regret doing sth表示“后悔做过某事”。此处用regret having done that表示“后悔做过那件事”。 三、 1. wastewasting 2. writewritin
15、g 3. drawdrawing 4. visitingto visit 5. dodoing 6. WalkWalking 四、 1.C由下一句中的They feared the violent storms.和本段最后一句可知，人们担心暴风雨，大部分人不愿意到他的农场工作。2B表达“席卷海面的”暴风雨应用介词across。3C此处指招聘工作人员的农场主(farmer)会见那些应聘工作的人，其他几项均不合句意。worker “工人”；applicant “申请人员”；reporter “记者”。4A此处表示他得到是一连串的拒绝。动词receive的含义是“得到，接待”；buy的含义是“买”；
16、sell的含义是“卖”；bring的含义是“带来”。由句意可知A项是最佳答案。5Awell可表示程度“很，非常”，可以和介词短语连用，此处表示“远远超过了中年”。6A根据第六段中的“I told you，I can sleep when the wind blows.”可以得出答案。7B到最后一段农场主才明白他所雇用的这个人所说的话的含义，因此此处应选puzzled(迷惑的)。8C因为这个人是来应聘的，因此此处是“雇用”。fire表示“解雇”；scold表示“责备”；hire表示“雇用”；order的含义是“订购，命令”。9B由上文的“busy from dawn to dusk”可推知，农场
17、主对此人很满意。disappointed “失望的”；satisfied “满意的”；excited “激动的”；tired “疲惫的”。10A表示“风刮得大”，可用副词hard但不能用hardly来形容；表示“风刮得大”也可以用blow loudly。11Ajump表示“跳起来”，可以表现出农场主的紧张和动作的迅速。而rise、get和fall与后面的rushed不吻合。12B外面在刮大风时，农场主让他的雇员起床。 13Dtie“捆，绑，系”，此处用tie表示“捆绑好东西，以免被风吹走”，其他选项与句意不符。let “让”；put “放置”；lay “放置，产卵，下蛋”。14A根据下面这个雇
18、工所说的话可知，他只是“翻个身”，并没有“起床”，应用roll over。15D由下文他匆忙跑到外面可知，农场主并没有当场解雇这名雇员。由此知此处表示转折，应用instead。16C当看到一切安排就绪时，农场主的感觉应是“意外的，惊奇的”。A、B项意为“预料”、“想象”，显然与上下文不吻合；D项意为“难过”，句意不通。17D根据上句意思可知此处表示“没有东西会被风吹走”，A、B、C三项显然不对。18D此处表示“明白了雇工的意思”，what充当meant的宾语。which表示“哪一个”，不合句意； that在宾语从句中只起引导词的作用，不充当成分；how是副词，作状语。19A根据上文这名雇工之所以能够睡得踏实是因为他提前做好了准备，本空意为“做好准备”，而不是“结束，毁灭”，“下定决心”或“鼓励”。20D根据句意“做好一切准备，就没有什么可担忧或害怕的”， fear “担心，害怕”，符合句意，其他选项与句意不符。beat “击打，击败”；win “获胜，赢得”；desire “渴望，想要”。
