B 本句中的 we can imagine 作定语修饰 the only way；the only way 后接 of doing sth 或 to do sth，由此可排除 A 项和 C 项；reduce “减少”；defe
14、at “击败”。从句意上来看此处用 reduce 表示“减少学生浴室的过度用水 ”，排除 D 项。2. D remember to do sth“记住去做某事”；remember doing sth“记得做过某事”。此处用 being taken 表示“ 我仍旧记得被带着去天安门广场以及我在那儿所见到的一切”。3. A forbid doing sth“禁止做某事”；be forbidden to do sth 的含义是“被禁止做某事” 。4. B appreciate 意为“感激” ，后接动名词作宾语，意为“ 感激做某事” 。5. D regret to do sth 表示“遗憾要做某事”；
15、regret doing sth 表示“后悔做过某事” 。此处用 regret having done that 表示 “后悔做过那件事” 。 三、 1. wastewasting 2. writewriting 3. drawdrawing 4. visitingto visit 5. dodoing 6. WalkWalking 四、 1.C 由下一句中的 They feared the violent storms.和本段最后一句可知，人们担心暴风雨，大部分人不愿意到他的农场工作。2 B 表达“ 席卷海面的”暴风雨应用介词 across。3 C 此处指招聘工作人员的农场主(farmer)
16、 会见那些应聘工作的人，其他几项均不合句意。worker “工人” ；applicant “申请人员”；reporter “记者” 。4 A 此处表示他得到是一连串的拒绝。动词 receive 的含义是“得到，接待” ；buy 的含义是“ 买” ；sell 的含义是“卖”；bring 的含义是“带来”。由句意可知 A 项是最佳答案。5 A well 可表示程度“ 很，非常”，可以和介词短语连用，此处表示“远远超过了中年”。6 A 根据第六段中的“I told you，I can sleep when the wind blows.”可以得出答案。7 B 到最后一段农场主才明白他所雇用的这个人所
17、说的话的含义，因此此处应选puzzled(迷惑的 )。8 C 因为这个人是来应聘的，因此此处是“雇用”。fire 表示“ 解雇”；scold 表示“ 责备”；hire 表示“雇用” ；order 的含义是“订购，命令”。9 B 由上文的 “busy from dawn to dusk”可推知，农场主对此人很满意。disappointed “失望的” ；satisfied “满意的” ；excited “激动的”；tired “疲惫的” 。10 A 表示“ 风刮得大” ，可用副词 hard 但不能用 hardly 来形容；表示“风刮得大” 也可以用 blow loudly。11 A jump 表
18、示“跳起来” ，可以表现出农场主的紧张和动作的迅速。而 rise、get 和fall 与后面的 rushed 不吻合。12 B 外面在刮大风时，农场主让他的雇员起床。 13 D tie“ 捆，绑，系”，此处用 tie 表示“捆绑好东西，以免被风吹走” ，其他选项与句意不符。let “让” ；put “放置”；lay “放置，产卵，下蛋”。14 A 根据下面这个雇工所说的话可知，他只是“ 翻个身” ，并没有“起床”，应用 roll over。15 D 由下文他匆忙跑到外面可知，农场主并没有当场解雇这名雇员。由此知此处表示转折，应用 instead。16 C 当看到一切安排就绪时，农场主的感觉应是
19、“意外的，惊奇的”。A 、B 项意为“预料 ”、 “想象”，显然与上下文不吻合； D 项意为“难过” ，句意不通。17 D 根据上句意思可知此处表示“没有东西会被风吹走”，A、B、C 三项显然不对。18 D 此处表示 “明白了雇工的意思”，what 充当 meant 的宾语。which 表示“哪一个” ，不合句意； that 在宾语从句中只起引导词的作用，不充当成分； how 是副词，作状语。19 A 根据上文这名雇工之所以能够睡得踏实是因为他提前做好了准备，本空意为“做好准备” ，而不是 “结束，毁灭”， “下定决心”或“鼓励”。20 D 根据句意 “做好一切准备，就没有什么可担忧或害怕的”， fear “担心，害怕”，符合句意，其他选项与句意不符。beat “击打，击败”；win “获胜，赢得”；desire “渴望，想要” 。
