31、无疑问，他会将他的金表借给Deng一天。由下句“He was always pleased when Deng cleared his snow or went to the store for him(每次当Deng清扫他的积雪，或去店里找他的时候，他都很开心)”可推知，毫无疑问，Mr Petrovski会将他的金表借给Deng。故选A项。8B考查动词辨析。句意：他可以假装这个表是他的。此空格处单词与上文“He pretended his family was rich(他假装他的家庭是富裕的)”中的pretended呼应。故选B项。9D考查动词短语。句意：Deng在表的背面发现一些字。几乎
32、都要磨损掉了。A.given away赠送，捐赠；B.thrown away扔了；C.hidden away深深隐藏；D.worn away(使) 磨损。由下句“He looked closely.

39、mark Spring Festival.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是河南电视台在社交媒体平台新浪微博上分享了一段视频，视频中的洛河女神栩栩如生。1a考查冠词。句意：这个古老的浪漫故事被赋予了一个新的背景，仍然为现代观众提供了有吸引力的观看。setting意为“背景”，是可数名词，且此处表泛指，因此前面用不定冠词，new是辅音音素开头。故填a。2what考查宾语从句的引导词。句意：这个故事似乎是用慢镜头呈现的。空格处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，指物。故填what。3surprisingly 考查副词。句意：不出所料，它变得流行起来，被观看了超过2000万次。空格处用副词修饰整个
40、句子，作状语，not surprisingly意为“不出所料”。故填surprisingly。4inspiration考查名词。句意：洛河女神的故事启发了无数当代艺术家，他们通过电影和舞剧等各种艺术形式描绘了这位无与伦比的美丽女神。the后跟名词作宾语。根据句意可知，空格处意为“灵感，启发”，为inspiration，是不可数名词。故填inspiration。5various考查形容词。句意同上。空格处用形容词作定语，variety的形容词是various，意为“各种各样的”。故填various。6which考查定语从句的引导词。句意：但这段时长约两分钟、名为洛河女神狂想曲的视频之所以能给人留
41、下如此深刻的印象，并引发如此大的宣传热潮，是因为它是在水下拍摄的。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词指代先行词video并在从句中作主语。故填which。7was shot考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意同上。it指代前面的“the video”，是“被拍”，且是在过去被拍的，因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态，即was/were done，主语it是单数。故填was shot。8their考查形容词性物主代词。句意：她不仅掌握了她的艺术，而且掌握了在她的肺努力发挥其功能时屏住呼吸的技巧。根据句意和分析可知，空格处意为“它们的”，后有名词，因此用形容词性物主代词，即their。故填their。9with考查介词。句意：这一切都是用最平和的表情完成的。根据句意可知，空格处意为“用”。故填with。10highlighting考查现在分词。句意：这并不是河南电视台第一次因其突出中国传统文化的吸引人的视频而受到关注。分析可知，在that从句中谓语是“has gained”，空格处需用非谓语动词，videos和highlight是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词表主动，作后置定语。故填highlighting。
