17、stry.Just then the postman rang the doorbell.He wanted her to sign for a registered letter.1.d 根据课文第6-12行，只有d.at an inconvenient time(在不方便的时候)与课文的实际内容相符，2.其他3个选择都与课文的事实不符。2.b 根据课文第6-12行，可以判断只有b.the writer was interrupted several times while making meat pies(当作者做肉馅时几次被打断)才是Everything got into a mass(
18、一切都被搞乱了)的真正原因，其他3个选择都与故事中的情节不符。3.d 只有d.是对的。该句的意思是“早餐是一天中的第一顿饭”这里的breakfast 是泛指的早餐。而不是具体指某一顿早餐，因此前面不要加冠词。所以a.the,b.A,c.This 都不对。4.b 只有b.at 可以同本句中的home 连用构成固定短语，at home 表示在家，而其他3个介词都不能同home 连用，所以选b.5.d 本句只有用最高级才能同前一句Nothing could have been more annoying(再没有比这更烦人的了)的含义相同。a.the more 不是最高级；b.more 只能用于比较级
19、；c.most 前面缺少定冠词，不能表示最高级；只有d.the most 是最高级形式，最符合题目意思，所以选d.6.b Helen Bates(海伦?贝茨)是一个女人的名字，因为是以字母s结尾的，它的所有格形式就应该是在名字后面加一小撇而无需再用-s.只有b.Bates 是正确的所有格形式，其他3个都不对。所以选b.7.a 只有a.when 可以同这一句中的hardly 连用，表示“刚刚就”，所以选a.其他3个选择都不能同when 搭配。8.d a.joining them(连接它们,加入他们的行列);b.uniting them(联合统一他们)c.unifying them(统一他们)d.
20、putting them together(把它们放到一起).只有d.能够解释说明前一句中的mixing butter and flour(调拌黄油和面粉),其他3个选择意思都不够贴切,所以选d.9.c a.ink(墨水)；b.water(水)；c.glue(胶水)；d.flour(面粉)这4个词中只有c.glue 同这一句中的pastry(面糊)性质相像，它们都是粘的，所以选c.10.b a.pity(遗憾的事，可惜的事)，b.sorry(难过的，惋惜的)；c.ill(有病的)；d.tired(疲劳的，累的)这4个词中只有b.sorry 同前一句中的dismayed(失望的，灰心的)含义最接
21、近，所以选b.11.d 前一句She hung up the receiver 意思为“她挂上了话筒”，本句需要选出同前一句意思相同的短语。a.let it hang(让它挂)；b.didnt put it back(没有把它放回去)；c.held it(举着它，拿着它)和d.put it back in its place(把它放回原处)4个选择中只有d.同前一句意思相符，所以选d.12.d 该句是现在完成时，缺少合适的过去分词。a.hanged 是hang(吊死)的过去式和过去分词；b.hang 是原形动词，不合乎语法；c.hanging 是现在分词，不能用于完成时态；d.hung 是hang(悬挂，挂起)的过去式和过去分词，只有d.最合乎题目意思和语法，所以选d.
