The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious ___11___. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ___12___ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name ___13___ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ___14___.

【答案與解析】
（3）
1. B。根據(jù)下文可知句意為：教員要求我們把我們過去的任何事情(anything)都列成表，這些事情是我們感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的，然后大聲讀出。若填something只表示一些事情，與句意不符。
2. A。ashamed 意為“羞愧的”，根據(jù)后面列舉的幾項(xiàng)，不應(yīng)該是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。
3. A。private 意為“私人的、保密的、不讓人知道的”。上述事情都屬于個(gè)人隱私，不宜公開。
4. D。brave 意為“勇敢的”，盡管是隱私不宜公開，但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。
5. B。suggested 意為“建議”，句子謂語用的動(dòng)詞原形，是虛擬語氣，可先排除expected；從說話者語氣看，不是“命令”，所以可排除ordered和demanded。
6. C。這里教員建議要做以下幾件事情：to make apologize to people“向人們道謙”，(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施糾正錯(cuò)誤的所作所為”。
7. A。本來作者是參加一個(gè)交際培訓(xùn)班，而現(xiàn)在教員所要學(xué)員做的一切似乎與培養(yǎng)交際能力無關(guān)，所以作者很納悶這是否能提高(improve)他的交際能力。
8. B。make a list 意為“列表、造表”。
9. C。none of us kids liked是定語從句，前面省略了關(guān)系代詞whom / that(代替Sheriff)，選none表示Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴都不喜歡那位郡長(Sheriff)，與下文吻合。
10. C。play a trick on sb 意為“捉弄某人”。
11. B。sign 意為“記號、標(biāo)記、符號”，指Jimmy他們寫的字。
12. D。ever用于否定句表示“在任何時(shí)候、從來”，由于Jimmy說了謊話，所以“從來就沒人查明事實(shí)真相(found out)”。與下文“幾乎20年后再提及此事”相呼應(yīng)。
13. A。appear 意為“出現(xiàn)”，指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。
14. D。alive 意為“活著的”，此時(shí)Jimmy還不知道Sheriff Brown是否活著，與后面他們接通電話，證實(shí)了Sheriff Brown還活著。所以此處不宜用其他形容詞。
15. B。ring 意為“鈴聲”，這里指電話被撥通。
16. D。由we had a good laugh 可知 Sheriff 和 Jimmy 進(jìn)行的是熱烈的(lively)討論。所以不宜選其他形容詞。
17. D。后面的句子說明原因，故選 because 引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句：因?yàn)槟愕幕锇槎及阉麄冏龅腻e(cuò)事給忘了。(from www.nmet168.com)
18. A。around 意為“大約”，此句表示：而 Jimmy 卻這些(nearly20年)年來一直把他所做過的錯(cuò)事記在心頭。
19. C。clear up 意為“消除、解除”，此句意為：在兩年里Jimmy鼓勵(lì)了我消除在我的表上的所有101項(xiàng)(做錯(cuò)了事情)。
20. C。 right 意為“糾正”，此句意為：糾正過去的不道德行為還為時(shí)不晚。
（4）
1. C。only 意為“僅僅、只有”。句意為：世界上約有五百種語言，但只有記種是重要的。
2. B。important 意為“重要的”，根據(jù)下文提到的像英語被廣泛使用，說明了這幾種語言是重要的。故不宜選其他形容詞。
3. B。as a foreign language(外語)與前句中的as their own language相對應(yīng)。
4. C。are trying to do so = are trying to learn English 意為“在盡力學(xué)習(xí)英語”。
5. D。answer 意為“答案”，指回答前面的答案。句意為：學(xué)習(xí)英語容易還是困難，不同的人有不同的答案。
6. C。notice 意為“注意到”，根據(jù)不同的動(dòng)詞意義，只有notice切合句意。指注意到這些廣告。
7. C。這些廣告的目的是為了收錢，故選money。or your money back意為：否則退錢。
8. B。help sb do sth 意為“幫助某人做某事”。而make / let sb do sth意為“使/讓某人做某事”。allow不合該句句型。
9. A。from first day 意為“從第一天起”。
10. D。由于是指學(xué)習(xí)英語語言，應(yīng)該是先學(xué)習(xí)發(fā)音，故選pronunciation(發(fā)音)。
11. A。happen 意為“發(fā)生”，這里指上面廣告中提到的“快速學(xué)好英語這樣事情是決不會(huì)發(fā)生的”。
12. B。remember 意為“記得”。
13. B。children與后面的a small child相對應(yīng)，指小孩學(xué)說母語好。
14. D。think of 意為“想象、想一想”。
15. B。think 意為“思考”，此句意為：談話用母語，思考用母語。
16. D。practice 意為“練習(xí)”。這里說明了孩子學(xué)說母語好是因?yàn)檫M(jìn)行上述大量的練習(xí)的結(jié)果。
17. A。句意為：說學(xué)習(xí)英語容易就難說了。
18. A。demand“需要”，句意為：掌握好英語需要大量練習(xí)。
19. B。take 意為“花費(fèi)(時(shí)間)”。此句意為：而練習(xí)需要付出極大的努力和花費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間。
20. C。這里是說：好教師、錄音磁帶、書和詞典將對學(xué)習(xí)英語有幫助。但這些都不能代替學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)。
