　　C．the；/；the

　　D．a；/；a

　　答案：D　考查冠詞。句意：這次實驗是一次失敗的實驗。但是切記面對失敗，你應該保持良好的心態。第一空是不可數名詞的具體化，指實驗失敗這件具體的事，所以加a；第二空failure是抽象名詞，故不加冠詞；第三空a good state of mind“一種良好的心態”。

　　2．—How could you________your friend so easily?

　　—She is the kind of person who________in a crowd.

　　A．pick out; stands out

　　B．make out; stands for

　　C．take out; stands by D．bring out; stands aside

　　3．—Do you want anything else for your birthday party?

　　—Nothing else. I'm very________what you've bought me.

　　A．contented with

　　B．content to

　　C．content with

　　5．I admire my English teacher. I can remember very few occasions________she stopped working because of ill health.

　　A．that

　　B．when

　　C．where D．which

　　答案：B　考查定語從句。先行詞是occasions，表示時間概念；she stopped working because of ill health是定語從句部分，該部分主干成分完整，因此選關系副詞when。

　　6．Eliza remembers everything exactly as if it ________ yesterday.

　　A．was happening

　　B．happens

　　C．has happened

　　D．happened

　　答案：D　句意：伊莉莎清楚地記得所有的事情，這一切就像昨天剛剛發生的。as if引導的從句所表示的情況不是事實而是主觀想像或夸大性的比喻，從句中謂語動詞要用虛擬語氣，所以D項符合。

　　7．Scientists are convinced ________ the positive effect of laughter ________ physical and mental health.

　　A．of; at

　　B．by; in

　　C．of; on

　　D．on; at

　　答案：C　句意：科學家們堅信笑對身心健康有積極影響。be convinced of“堅信，深信，確信”；effect常與on連用，意為“對……的影響”。以上兩個均屬于固定搭配，故選C。

　　A．As if

　　B．As long as

　　C．Because

　　We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It

　　was tall and narrow.

　　“Buy it，” my wife said at once. “We'll carry it home on the roof rack.

　　I've always wanted one like that.”

　　What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡ 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

　　In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers

　　seemed unusually polite that evening.

　　The police even stopped traffic to let us through.

　　Carrying furniture was a good idea.

　　After a time my wife said, “There's a long line of cars

　　behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder？” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us

　　seriously as they passed.

　　But then, with great kindness,

　　they led us through the rush-hour traffic.

　　The police car

　　stopped at our village church.

　　One of the officers came to me.

　　“Right, sir，”

　　he said.

　　“Do you need any more help？”

　　I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer，” I said. “You have been very kind. I was just on the road.”He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at

　　the cupboard. “Well, well，” he said, laughing. “It's a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something

　　else.”

　　My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone

　　between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it's a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

　　文章大意：作者和妻子在采花回家的路上，妻子又買了一個櫥柜裝在車上，其他的司機及警察都以為他們是去給人送葬，所以紛紛給其讓路。

　　5．In fact the husband________the cupboard.

　　A. would like very much to buy

　　B. badly wanted

　　C. was glad to have bought

　　D. would rather not buy

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據文章第二段作者對買柜子的想法：要花錢，又長又笨重，從而推斷出作者心里不愿意買，由此可知答案為D。

　　6．Other drivers thought they were________.

　　A. carrying a cupboard to the church

　　B. sending flowers to the church

　　C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture

　　D. going to attend a funeral(葬禮) at the church

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據第四段倒數第二句：警察的車停在教堂及第七段警察看車的情形：看了看花又看了看柜子，說：我們以為是別的什么東西。可推斷出此題答案為D。

　　7．The police will be more polite to those who are________.

　　A. driving in gathering darkness

　　B. in great sorrow

　　C. driving with wild flowers in the car

　　D. carrying furniture

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。根據文章中對警察關心作者的描述及警察對作者車上東西的看法可推斷出警察以為作者去參加葬禮，所以對作者特別客氣，由此可推知答案為B。

　　8．What did the husband think of this matter?

　　A. It was very strange.

　　B. He felt ashamed of it.

　　C. He took great pride in it.

　　D. He was puzzled at it.

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段的描述：然后我才弄清楚事實真相是怎么回事，于是我盡快地把車開回家，可看出作者對此感到很羞愧，從而推斷出此題答案為B。
