　　1. We ______ play on the town square when we were children.

　　A. are used to B. were used to C. used to D. use to

　　答案：C

　　解析：be used to do sth. = 過去常做什么事。由于句中有一個過去時間分句，所以應該選C。題意：孩提時，我們常在市鎮廣場上玩耍。

　　2. He ______ dangers that doesn’t exist.

　　A. forever imagines B. is forever imagining

　　C. imagines forever D. forever is imagining

　　答案：B

　　解析：現在進行時可以表示某種感情色彩，如贊揚、厭惡、埋怨等。這時，句中常出現表示頻率的副詞，如always、forever 等。根據本題空當前后內容以及四個選擇項中都包括forever 一詞判斷，本句含有一種埋怨的感情色彩：他總是杞人憂天。因此排除A 和C。B 和D 區別在于副詞的位置。表示頻率的單個副詞作狀語應置于助動詞與行為動詞之間。因此B 為正確選擇。

　　3、　　— Do you think the Stars will beet the Bulls

　　—Yes.They have better players, so I _______ them to win.

　　正確答案：C

　　There are so many new books about dying that there are now special shelves set aside for them in bookshops , along with the health-diet and home-repair paperbacks .

　　答案與解析：

　　1.【答案】C

　　【解析】此句表示其中一些關于死亡的書中寫滿了相關的翔實信息，A 、B 兩項均為包括之意，不與with 連用。D 項有“充滿的”意思，并可以with 連用，但意為“胡亂丟滿、亂七八糟的”，用在此處不正確。C 項Packed 意為“擁擠、塞滿、充滿的”，感情色彩也與原文相符，表示書中充斥著關于… … 的內容。

　　2.【答案】B

　　【解析】文中需要的是連接詞，exotic 的含義比extraordinary 更進一步，句意為“適當的死法已然成了一種特別的、甚至是奇異的經歷”。這種情況不必多想，B 為最合適的選項。A 項為并列關系，C 、D 項表示轉折，而非遞進。

　　3.【答案】B

　　【解析】從本句“書中內容會讓你覺得我們是唯一有死亡意識的… … ”和下句中的“自然界中的其他生命經歷著生命的周期和死亡”，可以推測出空格處所指的是生物，而不是種族、人們、人類，故選B。

　　4.【答案】B

　　【解析】本句的意思是“自然界中的其他生命(除我們以外的)一代又一代”，是考形容詞代詞的用法。the other指兩個人或物中的一個。所以選another 。

　　5.【答案】A

　　【解析】句意為“我家后院的榆樹今年夏天染上了枯萎病”, catch 作及物動詞，有“染上疾病”的意思。B 項意為“持有，抓住”, C 項意為“(疾病)突然侵襲”，用在疾病的后面，如the blight took our elm 。D 項意為“采集，挑選”。故選A 。

　　6.【答案】C

　　【解析】本句意為“或許出現些斑點，但… … 讓人擔憂，而且外表看來一切正常”，所以出現的問題不嚴重，不會讓人不安，所以選C。

　　7.【答案】D

　　【解析】 singing ，表示伴隨動作，現在分詞作伴隨狀語。

　　8.【答案】D

　　【解析】 a field mouse 為dying 的定語，根據下文可以得出句意為“一只田鼠的死”，中間的插人語表示它是如何死掉的。

　　9.【答案】C

　　【解析】四個選項中只有C 是正確用法，田鼠的死曾讓我感到害怕。若選A 項，it was to make me wince 意為“田鼠的死是(計劃好)用于讓我害怕、畏縮的”。若選B項，句子意為“田鼠之死習慣了讓我害怕”。若選C 項，句子意為“以前田鼠的這種死法常讓我感到害怕”。D 項指此事即將讓我害怕。

　　10.【答案】B

　　【解析】根據上下文判斷，“但是我老早就不再向叼著田鼠的貓扔棍子，讓它把田鼠放下”，這樣做的原因就在下一句：因為被放下的老鼠通常還是會死掉。
