Answer 1

1．B 后一句說到in the water ，可見選B。

2．A have fun 玩得高興。

3．C 其他三個搭配不對，更不用說上下文的意思了。

4．C 如果你真的把一根棍子扔到水里的話。

5．A 拿起Rex的照片，我有記起了塵封的記憶。 讀到這里，你看出Rex是什么了嗎？ A dog 。

6．D when 指前句的時間the night ，引導(dǎo)詞在從句只和時間狀語。

7．A 由下文it might easily have been half a mile 可知此處表示距離遠近，“誰也不知道他從多遠的地方，從哪個地方弄來的”。

8．A 表猜測，“可能有半里地”，四個選項中只有could 表“可能，或許”。

9．B 由下文“有人丟棄的”及后面we threw it away 可知此處用worthless (沒有任何價值的)而不用A priceless（珍貴的）。

10．C 別人把這個小匣子扔掉了。

11．A 別人把它丟棄了，Rex卻把它大老遠弄來，這是因為Rex這條狗認為……。（此處用because表人們推測的原因。）

12．B 下文說We came downstairs 可知當(dāng)時我們在upstairs，因此我們只可能是在上面聽到樓下的響聲，因此也就有下文的It sounded.

13．C “仿佛，好像”，描述一個與真實相反的假定事實。

14．D tear down 拆散、拆掉，tear up 撕成碎片。

15．D 由上文“我們聽到門廳的動靜”可知，“下樓把門廳的燈打開”觀察事態(tài)。

16．C Rex要把chest弄進來，但它在門口卡住了，以至于Rex要把它弄上來時發(fā)出陣陣響聲。catch 在本句中表示“卡住、困住”。

17．C 半夜三更時發(fā)生的這件事，要不是我們出現(xiàn)的話，它會堅持到天亮的，聯(lián)系上文的test his courage , hold his own , 這狗還真有點韌性。

18．B 如果我們把箱子扔近了，Rex會再次把它弄來的。

19．D 畢竟它有這種長途搬運的能力（它還會這樣干的）。

20．A 它總愛向我們展示它的這種能力。
