Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a person, he had been to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be there happily reading our newspapers, when so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his from now on. And what of James McKay? he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “ the most exciting birthday !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

試題分析：本文講述了意為八十歲的退休老人在他過生日那天因用拐杖打一個三十歲男子的頭部而被判入獄的故事，起因是他無法忍受對方長期以來因侍弄植物和養魚而每天把水淋到他家陽臺上，甚至淋透了夫婦兩人的衣服。事后，一大群支持者為她慶祝生日，老人感到無比幸福。
1.考查動詞。Hitting擊中；tapping輕敲，輕拍；pushing推；touching接觸。根據第一段第一句Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail，八十歲的James McKay在監獄中度過了星期六的夜晚，由此可知他“打”了三十歲的Keith Smith的頭。故選A。
2.考查介詞。 By通過；via經由；through通過，穿過；with用。這位老人“用”拐棍打了對方的頭。此處表示的使用某種工具，故選D。
3.考查形容詞。Quiet安靜的；peaceful和平的；sensitive敏感的；stubborn頑固的。句意是James McKay平常是一個非常“不愛爭吵的”人，做出這種舉動實屬忍無可忍。故選B。
4.考查動詞。Accustomed是習慣于；taken拿，帶；driven駕駛；Attracted被吸引。句意是他經常被弄濕，再也無法忍受，才有了上述暴力行為。此處drive意為“驅使”，故選C。
5.考查名詞。Fish魚；seed種子；plant植物；newspaper報紙。根據第三段中的內容可知Keith Smith不僅是一個癡迷的園藝家，還喜歡養“魚”。故選A。
6.考查代詞。每天Keith Smith家陽臺上的水都會流到James McKay家的陽臺上，而且經常流到夫婦兩個人的身上。此處的反身代詞themselves指的是這里指代的是James McKay夫婦兩人。故選C。
7.考查名詞。 Bathroom浴室；kitchen廚房；bedroom臥室；balcony陽臺。聯系上下文可知James McKay夫婦幾乎不敢去“陽臺”。下一句中的balcony也是線索提示。故選D。
8.考查句型。句意是：她補充說明特別困擾他們的不是對方因給植物澆水而把水流到他們的陽臺上。本句是強調句型，被強調部分是主語“the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant”，故選C。
9.考查動詞。Sitting坐；exercising練習；sleeping睡；eating吃。句意是：他們正高興地“坐”著讀報紙時，突然被從上面陽臺上流下來的水淋濕了。故選A。
10.考查副詞。 Regularly定期地；unconsciously 無意識地；precisely精確地； suddenly突然地。句意是：他們正高興地坐著讀報紙時，“突然”被從上面陽臺上流下來的水淋濕了。故選D。
11.考查動詞。 Swum游泳；showered淋浴；watered澆水；drowned淹死。句意是：他們全身都濕透了，仿佛是穿著衣服洗了一次“淋浴”。故選B。
12.考查名詞。Taste味道；sense感覺；feeling感情；smell氣味。根據本段中間部分的內容可知從上面流下來的是Keith Smith清洗浴缸的水，所以他們無法去掉魚的“氣味”。故選D。
13.考查副詞。句意是：星期六晚上簡直“太”過分了。此處的much表示的是程度故選D。
14.考查副詞。Beside在旁邊；Instead代替，反而；Otherwise否則；consequently因此，結果。句意是：James McKay沒有把那些蠟燭吹滅，“相反”，發生了另外一件意想不到的事情。故選B。
15.考查副詞。 Over結束；across橫過；through徹底；down向下。句意是：Keith Smith在上面清洗其中一只比較大的魚缸，所以夫婦兩人和蛋糕都濕透了。Wet through表。示“濕透”。故選C。
16.考查動詞。 Stop阻止，停止；blame責備；ignore忽視；stand忍受。根據后面兩句中的內容可知Laurene無法阻止她的丈夫。故選A。
17.考查名詞。Views見解；attitude態度；ways方法；mind意見。句意是：Keith Smith不想讓事態進一步擴大，他承諾從今以后改變自己的“行為方式”。故選C。
18.考查連詞。 While當...的時候；Since自...以來；Until直到...時；As當...時候。句意是：當他離開警察局的時候，一大群支持者為他唱生日歌。此處as表示“當...時候”。While雖然也表示“當...時候”，但需要與延續性動詞聯用。故選D。
19. 考查副詞。 Sincerely真誠地；Impossibly不可能地；Definitely清楚地，肯定地；Previously以前。根據下一句中的內容可知老人當時無比高興，認為“肯定”是有生以來最令人興奮的生日。故選C。
20.考查副詞。Before以前；ever曾經；already先前；Since后來。此處ever表示“曾經”，表示這是他曾經度過的最美好的生日。故選B。
