14.A.thought B.doubted C.admitted D.recognised

答案:A

15.A.While B.Or C.So D.For

提示:"因此"有一天,"我"想看看它的反应。

答案:C

答案:B

18.A.Even if B.Ever since

C.As far as D.So long as

提示:分析该句的逻辑关系,该处应该是主句(she never 　19　 the one on her head)的前提和条件,故用so long as引导条件状语从句。even if"即使";ever since"从此以后";as far as "远至,跟......一样远";so long as"只要"。

答案:D

19.A.welcomed B.required C.bothered D.expected

提示:只要有胡萝卜片吃,它就不去"烦心"头上的东西了。所以选bothered。welcome"欢迎";require"要求";expect"预期,盼望"。

C.task D.affair

提示:从后面的解释:I got a pleasure,and she had yet another tasty treat来看,"我"和这只土拨鼠之间是一场公平"交易"。故选trade。competition"竞争";task"任务";affair"事务"。

Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　In the old days,divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk because they hoped to find gold and jewels.Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships.The value of different kinds of metal has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years,it may be worth a great deal.

　　The "Andrea Doria" is a valuable ship lying on the seabed.It is an Italian passenger ship which sank in 1956 after a collision with a Swedish ship.The ship itself was worth at least $30,000,000 and in addition it was carrying over $4,800,000 and many other valuable things.There is one silver object which is worth over $1,200,000.But the ship is lying in deep water which is very dark and cold.As strong current also sweeps past the ship,so far divers have been unsuccessful.
