88、能到达那里。“so.that.”意为“如此以至于”，固定句型。故填so。【42题详解】考查固定搭配。本句运用了take.to do sth.，意为“花费做某事”，故此处应填to get。【43题详解】考查介词。“a pack of”意为“一群”。故填of。【44题详解】考查定语从句。句意：它们被他们的主人训练地很好，它们的主人在照顾这些动物方面很有经验。先行词为masters（主人），且从句缺主语。故关系词填who。【45题详解】考查一般过去时。句意：我们的主人跟我们分享了很多他们的经历并推荐了一些很好的吃饭、购物和参观的地方。“and”前后两个动作“shared”与“recommended”
89、是并列关系，时态一致。故填recommended。【46题详解】考查名词。由空格前的不定冠词an与空格后的不定式to watch可以确定空格处应该填名词形式。故填competition。【47题详解】考查形容词。空格修饰名词stories，应用形容词形式，tradition的形容词为traditional，故填traditional。【48题详解】考查副词。空格处修饰形容词popular，应用副词形式，huge的副词为hugely，故填hugely。【49题详解】考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：我们被邀请去参加一场私人音乐会。由“on the last day of our week-long
90、 stay”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，用被动语态。主语为we，故填were invited。【50题详解】考查非谓语动词。本句谓语动词为“were invited”，所以空格处动词listen应用非谓语动词形式。听音乐这个动作是由we发出的，所以选用现在分词形式。也可由and前后连接两个并列的结构这一规律解题，and后meeting interesting locals为分词形式，故空格处填listening。第三部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语
