练习答案
I 1 fresh 2 discovered 3 hungry 4 crowded 5 delicious
II 6 B 7 B 此处用进行时，when译成“正在这时”。 8 C crowded adj. “拥挤的, 塞满的 ”。 9 B found 在此是动词，不是find的过去式。意思是 "建立, 创立, 创办, 使有根据, 铸造, 熔制"。10 C 11 B 12 D 13 B 14 B 15 B boil n. "沸点, 沸腾", v. "煮沸, 激动"。于是Boiled water指“凉开水”，boiling water指“正开着的水”。 16 C 17 A 18 D 19 D 20 A 在as…as的句型中，数量词都要放在第一个as前面。
III 21 D deal with v. “安排, 处理, 涉及, 做生意 ”。do with v. “利用, 忍受, 需要, 乐意做”。22 C 23 B 24 A 25 D 26 B drop一词用法较多。v. “滴下, 落下, (使声音等)变弱, (使价格等)下降, 使跌倒, 使结束, 不再讨论, 停止与(某人)交往”。n. “落下, 下降, 滴, 滴剂, 点滴, 微量, 下跌”。此处用作名词，指“一滴”。 27 C 28 D 29 B 30 D 31 A 32 B fall asleep是固定搭配。 33 B 34 A 35 C scene n. “现场, 场面, 情景, 景色, 发生地点, [戏剧]一场, 布景, 道具布置”。 36 D 37 A 38 C 39 B wound n. “创伤, 伤口”。vt.“伤, 伤寒”。40 C
IV 41 B 42 A 43 B 44 A 45 B 46 B 47 B 48 B 49 D 50 B
