42、那个小男孩。1答案与解析:B考查动词。这位富人不仅带了东西去卖,而且带钱去“买”东西。解这道题时要注意将句中and前后的内容进行比较。2答案与解析:A考查动词。根据他的想法,他“决定”要带十个仆人。这件事完全可以由他自己决定,所以没有必要“希望带”或“努力带”,故C、D不合题意。3答案与解析:C考查动词。carry在句中意为“携带、运送”;take 意为“带走”;bring意为“带来”。本句意为“他们将运送要卖的东西和在路上要吃的食物”。下文的第10、11两题所在的句子也有提示。 4答案与解析:B考查动词。参照第3题。5答案与解析:D考查名词。一个小男孩来找这位富人,要求和他们一起走,故选 t

44、是高兴地挑起了担子。14答案与解析:C考查介词。由于小男孩的聪明,“除了”他自己,其他仆人都累坏了。 15答案与解析:DDo you know why? 用在文章最后用来引出原因,告诉读者其中的奥妙。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要向我们介绍了徒步旅行这种旅行方式,并给出了一些建议。1答案与解析:on考查介词。句意:一般说来,这些假期几乎都集中在从一个地方到另一个地方的徒步旅行上。focus on.“集中于”。2答案与解析:distances考查词性转化和名词复数。句意:有些人喜欢外出到人很少的地方去,进行长途旅行。根据形容词long可知此处应用名词。又因为distance作“
45、距离”讲时为可数名词,故填distances。3答案与解析:travelling考查非谓语动词。句意:在第二天去下一站旅游之前,他们通常在旅馆住上一晚。介词before后应使用v.ing形式。4答案与解析:themselves考查反身代词。句意:一些徒步者选择不用向导是因为费用问题或者他们想挑战一下自己。根据句意可知此处应填反身代词。5答案与解析:reliable考查词性转化。句意:然而,对于缺少经验的徒步旅行者来说,在徒步旅行时雇一个可靠的向导被认为是更好的选择。修饰名词guide应用形容词。6答案与解析:is considered考查动词的时态和语态。句意:然而,对于缺少经验的徒步旅行者来
46、说,在徒步旅行时雇一个可靠的向导被认为是更好的选择。主语employing a _5_ (rely) guide与consider之间为被动关系,因此应用被动语态。单个v.ing短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数。故填is considered。7答案与解析:who考查定语从句。句意:这项活动可能会令人很疲惫,那些徒步旅行新手可能担心他们的身体不能完成这些旅行。先行词为those,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故用who。8答案与解析:physically考查词性转化。句意:见上题。此处修饰形容词able,故用副词形式。9答案与解析:to go考查非谓语动词。句意:有时人们去医生那儿核实一下他们选择一项困难的徒步旅行是否安全可能会很有用。分析可知此处为不定式短语作真正的主语。10答案与解析:a考查冠词。句意:见上题。此处修饰可数名词hike,表泛指,所以用不定冠词a。
