31、下文知,我不想让爷爷失望,此处let sb. down是固定词组,意为“令某人失望”。39C。就在此时,不远处的一只棕色大松鼠引起了我的注意。catch ones eye表示“引起某人的注意”。40D。那只松鼠捡起一颗山核桃向一棵树跑去,最后消失(disappear)在树干的大洞中。该句中的三个动作表承接:先pick up,然后hurry to,最后disappear。join“加入”,live“生存”,discover“发现”都不符合语境。41A。该处表示:不久,那只松鼠又从洞中跳了出来(jump out),故选A项。hold out“伸出,坚持”;stand out“突出”;find ou
32、t“发现”都不符合语境。42B。从后文中dashed over to the tree可知,作者认为松鼠捡山核桃不再是秘密了。43B。我发现洞中到处都是山核桃,be filled with是固定词组,意为“充满着”,符合语境;be covered with“覆盖”;be decorated with“用装饰”。44C。当看到洞中有这么多的山核桃,作者认为自己的机会来了。45D。作者拿了这么多的山核桃,心里非常高兴,当然很骄傲。be proud of“自豪,高兴”,符合语境。be afraid of表示“害怕,担忧”;be ashamed of表示“感到羞愧”;be careful of表示“小
33、心”。46D。此处表示我迫不及待地想把捡到的山核桃让爷爷看,因此兴奋地大叫起来,前后句构成“因果关系”,用therefore。otherwise“否则”;however“然而”;besides“除此之外还”。47B。我告诉了爷爷,我是如何跟踪(follow)松鼠,从而找到这些山核桃的。48C。此处表示爷爷虽然表扬了我,但他接下来做的事情让我很吃惊(surprised)。49D。爷爷用胳膊挽着我的肩膀,用介词around。50A。松鼠努力工作,收集了过冬食物,此处supply of food表示“食物储备”。51C。你把他的食物都拿走了,难道你没有想过他在寒冷的冬天还能活下去吗?survive“挺过”,符合语境。52C。好人不应该利用(take advantage of)别人的辛勤劳动。take place of“代替”;take notice of“注意到”;take charge of“负责”,都与语境不符。53A。爷爷说了这些话后,我突然有了一种负罪感(guilty)。54B。那只松鼠挨饿的场景在我心头挥之不去,所以用leave ones mind表示“离开心头”。55D。此处表示作者为自己做了一件正确的事情而感到很满足(satisfaction)。*结束
