14、oms were already in prison. The Harries were all _12_ and the doctor said that none of them could get out of bed for a week.

19、C. found D. left19A. after B. thoughC. while D. before20A. caught B. woreC. stolen D. broke答案：本文讲述的是我和 Fred 靠推理和观察查到盗羊贼的故事。一天早晨“我”和 Fred 发现一只最大的羊不见了。由其余的羊很平静我们推测不是狗做的，不过我们却想到了专干坏事的四个家族。我们先后排除了 Freedoms 和 Harries，然后从店老板的话里又排除了 Turpins，这样很可能是 Godfreys 干的。于是，我和 Fred 偷偷溜进了 Godfrey 家，发现了羊血和羊皮1解析：此处解释的是“我
20、知道这不是狗干的”的原因，即“因为其余的羊都很平静”。答案：A2解析：这里说的是我们的猜测。羊丢了有两种常见的可能性，或是偶然事故或是被“偷”。答案：B3解析：把丢羊的事与这四个家族联系到一起，可推测这四个家族不是做好事的家族。答案：B4解析：为了证明前面的猜测，Fred 和我沿着篱笆墙走，想在篱笆墙上找到点什么。由此可判断此处应为 a break，即从墙上看看有没有什么痕迹或断裂的地方。答案：A5解析：由于后面有 together with a little wool on a branch of the fence，由此可推测此处说的是在一处石头墙上发现有被松动的痕迹，但不能是被敲掉(kn
21、ock down)或敲出来(knock out)的。答案：C6解析：从上下文来看，此处说的是“在篱笆外面众多的羊蹄印中有一个穿着工作靴的脚印”。答案：B7解析：从语境来看，这里提到的脚印有两个：一是人的脚印，二是羊蹄印。答案：C8解析：由前面提到的在篱笆墙上有松动的痕迹(可能是从墙挖洞钻进去)，在墙的石头上还留有一撮羊毛及在众多的羊蹄印中只有左脚的脚印等来推断，此处说的是“偷羊这个活是一个人干的”。work 为“工作”，这里指“偷羊”这个活。答案：B9解析：从后面的 until he was sure that were all _10_ 来看，他已看出门道来了，而在这之前“这个人的脚印一直烦
22、扰着他”。答案：C10解析：从后面的 Albert Wrigley 商店的橱窗里只有两只右脚的鞋及Albert 告诉“我们”的话来看，这是偷羊贼穿着两只左脚的鞋来偷的羊，即这些鞋印都是 leftfooted。答案：B11解析：从后面的 Freedoms, Harries 等情况的介绍来看，此处说的是“我”在去报案的路上所想到的情况，故用 thinking。答案：C12解析：从后面的 and the doctor said that none of them could get out of bed for a week 可推测，Harries 一家都患有很严重的病，要在医院里住一个星期。答案：
23、C13解析：第 1 段共提到了四个家族，前面已排除了 Freedoms 和Harries，剩余的是 Turpin 和 Godfrey。答案：C14解析：从后面的 .in the shop window 等来看，此处说的是 Albert Wrigleys store.答案：B15解析：从 both for the right feet 可知，此处说的是这家商店的橱窗里有两只右脚的工作靴子。答案：A16解析：此时商店橱窗里有两只右脚的靴子，那么左脚的那两只靴子呢？答案：B17解析：从后面的after everyone was in bed, Fred and I stole into. 来看，此处描写的是那晚他们偷偷地到 Goldfrey 家查看情况。答案：B18解析：前面说 Fed 和我偷偷地到 Godfrey 家摸情况，那么先“发现的”是一盆羊血，后面紧接着说发现了羊皮。若用 left 从语法上没问题，但不符合他们偷偷来这儿这一语境。答案：C19解析：从 the police caught him 来看，此处用 before 符合语境，即在警察来抓他前，Sam 曾试图穿着偷来的靴子逃跑。答案：D20解析：从第 1 段我们知道 Godfreys 是四个干坏事的家族之一，再结合上下文可知，此处说的是他从 Albert 商店“偷来”的靴子。答案：C
