Question

  A friend and I had arranged to spend a whole Sunday taking a long walk in the country. We set off on an early train，each carrying a 1     bag filled with sandwiches，cakes，fruit and bottles of lemonade. I 2      how two people would be able to finish it all.

Soon we had left 3      the smoky air of the city and had reached the country station where our 4      was to begin. We were 5      ，because the sun was shining and there was a gentle breeze to make it just right for walking. We decided to go on a walk called the Four Mile Square：It has four 6     sides，each about four miles in length and on a map looks like a rough square. It is 7      because each side passes through a different kind of country. We 8      in high spirits along the first side，which 9      a river，planning to have a swim and our first meal before we left it. Before long，we came to a gate near which there was a 10      ， " Beware of the Bull". We were very 11      Our path ran through this field, and,as it was a public foot?path,the farmer had no 12      to put a dangerous animal in it. "Oh,but it's all right," my friend said. "This bull is tied up. Come on.”

I followed, because I could see for myself a strong rope 13      to the ring in its nose at one end and round a large tree at the other. We felt very bold and walked nearer, 14      a red handkerchief just to show that we weren't afraid.

The bull began to walk towards us―and did not stop. "He 15      to have a long rope,”I said,walking more quickly. The bull too was walking more quickly. Then,at the same mo?ment,we both saw that the rope was broken, and without 16      we began to run.

We were halfway across the field but it didn't take us long to reach the gate again. We jumped over,very much out of 17      ，and looked back to see the bull quietly 18      a bag of food. "That was a clever 19      of mine,wasn't it?" said my friend："I dropped the food on purpose to 20      away the bull's attention.”

"No，" I cried. It was not clever！I dropped mine―accidentally.

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了 "我"和朋友去鄉(xiāng)村遠(yuǎn)足時(shí)遇到公牛如何避開(kāi)的故事。

1.C由包里的東西sandwiches,cakes,fruit and bottles of lemonade以及I        how two

people would be able to finish it all.可知,他們的包很沉。故用heavy"重的，沉重的"。

2.A I wonder+從句表示"我不知道……"，和語(yǔ)境相符。

3.D leave behind"留下，遺留；超過(guò)"，是固定短語(yǔ)。

4.B根據(jù)文章第一段的taking a long walk in the country可知，此處用B項(xiàng)。

5.C由the sun was shining and there was a gen?tle breeze to make it just right for walking可知，這天很適合散步。故說(shuō)我們很幸運(yùn)(lucky).

6.A由each about four miles in length and on a map looks like a rough square可知，這四條邊幾乎相等。故用equal"相等的，均等的"。

7.D由each side passes through a different kind of country可以推出，這個(gè)地方非常出名。

8.A由常識(shí)可知，我們選定了要步行的地方，當(dāng)然接下去的是我們要開(kāi)始行動(dòng)了。start off "出發(fā)，開(kāi)始";take up"拿起;從事"，是及物動(dòng)詞詞組；run off"逃跑，溜掉";turn up"出現(xiàn)，露面"。

9.B我們先走的這一邊同一條河并行，所以我們打算游泳。connect"連接";follow"追隨，沿……而行";surround"包圍，環(huán)繞";reflect "反射，反映"。

10.D由下文的Beware of the Bull可知，這是一則通知(notice) 。

11.C看到"小心公牛"的通知，我們當(dāng)然是很焦急(worried) 了。

12.B由as it was a public footpath可推出'我們認(rèn)為農(nóng)民們沒(méi)有權(quán)利(right) 讓他們的公牛上這條路。

13.A由常識(shí)可以知道，牛的鼻子上穿上一個(gè)環(huán)，然后把繩子系(tie) 在這個(gè)環(huán)上。

14.A上文說(shuō)過(guò)牛被拴在了樹(shù)上，所以我們很大膽，對(duì)這牛揮舞(wave) 紅手絹。

15.C上文說(shuō)到牛是被栓到樹(shù)上的，所以當(dāng)我們看到牛向我們走來(lái)，并且不停，我們認(rèn)為這牛韁繩好像(seem) 很長(zhǎng)。

16.B看到牛韁繩斷了，我們毫不猶豫地開(kāi)始跑了起來(lái)。without hesitation"毫不猶豫"，是固定短語(yǔ)。

17.D由常識(shí)可知,我們被公牛追趕，當(dāng)然是被追得上氣不接下氣(out of breath) 。

10.B weigh"稱. 的重量";examine"仔細(xì)觀察;檢查，調(diào)查"；consider"考慮，認(rèn)為"；in?spect"視察"。 我們回頭看到公牛在靜靜地觀察著一包食品。由常識(shí)可知，是用exam?ine,而不能是其他三項(xiàng)。

19.C trap"圈套，陷阱";game"游戲";trick"詭計(jì)，騙局";plan"計(jì)劃"。我的朋友說(shuō)那是他對(duì)公牛設(shè)的一個(gè)騙局。

20.D draw away sb. 's attention"吸引了某人的注意力"，是固定短語(yǔ)。
