　　1. We ______ play on the town square when we were children.

　　A. are used to B. were used to C. used to D. use to

　　答案：C

　　解析：be used to do sth. = 过去常做什么事。由于句中有一个过去时间分句，所以应该选C。题意：孩提时，我们常在市镇广场上玩耍。

　　2. He ______ dangers that doesn’t exist.

　　A. forever imagines B. is forever imagining

　　C. imagines forever D. forever is imagining

　　答案：B

　　解析：现在进行时可以表示某种感情色彩，如赞扬、厌恶、埋怨等。这时，句中常出现表示频率的副词，如always、forever 等。根据本题空当前后内容以及四个选择项中都包括forever 一词判断，本句含有一种埋怨的感情色彩：他总是杞人忧天。因此排除A 和C。B 和D 区别在于副词的位置。表示频率的单个副词作状语应置于助动词与行为动词之间。因此B 为正确选择。

　　3、　　— Do you think the Stars will beet the Bulls

　　—Yes.They have better players, so I _______ them to win.

　　答案与解析：

　　1.【答案】C

　　【解析】此句表示其中一些关于死亡的书中写满了相关的翔实信息，A 、B 两项均为包括之意，不与with 连用。D 项有“充满的”意思，并可以with 连用，但意为“胡乱丢满、乱七八糟的”，用在此处不正确。C 项Packed 意为“拥挤、塞满、充满的”，感情色彩也与原文相符，表示书中充斥着关于… … 的内容。

　　2.【答案】B

　　【解析】文中需要的是连接词，exotic 的含义比extraordinary 更进一步，句意为“适当的死法已然成了一种特别的、甚至是奇异的经历”。这种情况不必多想，B 为最合适的选项。A 项为并列关系，C 、D 项表示转折，而非递进。

　　3.【答案】B

　　【解析】从本句“书中内容会让你觉得我们是唯一有死亡意识的… … ”和下句中的“自然界中的其他生命经历着生命的周期和死亡”，可以推测出空格处所指的是生物，而不是种族、人们、人类，故选B。

　　4.【答案】B

　　【解析】本句的意思是“自然界中的其他生命(除我们以外的)一代又一代”，是考形容词代词的用法。the other指两个人或物中的一个。所以选another 。

　　5.【答案】A

　　【解析】句意为“我家后院的榆树今年夏天染上了枯萎病”, catch 作及物动词，有“染上疾病”的意思。B 项意为“持有，抓住”, C 项意为“(疾病)突然侵袭”，用在疾病的后面，如the blight took our elm 。D 项意为“采集，挑选”。故选A 。

　　6.【答案】C

　　【解析】本句意为“或许出现些斑点，但… … 让人担忧，而且外表看来一切正常”，所以出现的问题不严重，不会让人不安，所以选C。

　　7.【答案】D

　　【解析】 singing ，表示伴随动作，现在分词作伴随状语。

　　8.【答案】D

　　【解析】 a field mouse 为dying 的定语，根据下文可以得出句意为“一只田鼠的死”，中间的插人语表示它是如何死掉的。

　　9.【答案】C

　　【解析】四个选项中只有C 是正确用法，田鼠的死曾让我感到害怕。若选A 项，it was to make me wince 意为“田鼠的死是(计划好)用于让我害怕、畏缩的”。若选B项，句子意为“田鼠之死习惯了让我害怕”。若选C 项，句子意为“以前田鼠的这种死法常让我感到害怕”。D 项指此事即将让我害怕。

　　10.【答案】B

　　【解析】根据上下文判断，“但是我老早就不再向叼着田鼠的猫扔棍子，让它把田鼠放下”，这样做的原因就在下一句：因为被放下的老鼠通常还是会死掉。
