完形填空
The night passed rapidly: I was too tired even to dream: I only once awoke to hear the wind rave in furious gusts, and the rain fall in torrents, and to be【C1】______(sense)that Miss Miller had taken her place by my side. When I again unclosed my eyes, a loud bell was ringing: the girls were up and dressing: day had not yet begun【C2】______dawn, and a rushlight or two burnt in the room. I too rose reluctantly: it was bitter cold, and I dressed as well as I could for shivering, and washed when there was a basin at liberty, which did not occur soon, as there was but one basin to six girls, on the stands down the middle of the room. Again the bell rang: all formed【C3】______file, two and two, and in that order descended the stairs and entered the cold and dimly-lit schoolroom: here prayers were【C4】r______ by Miss Miller: afterwards she called out—\\
1.【C1】
sensible
解析:本篇节选自《简爱》。此句提到“狂风骤雨中,米勒小姐很通情达理地陪在我的身边”,此处的“通情达理”为形容词,此空应填写sense的形容词形式,即sensible。
2.【C2】
to dawn
解析:黎明,破晓。根据第一句The night passed rapidly可知,此时仍是夜晚,黎明还未降临not begin to dawn。
3.【C3】
in
解析:句意:…所有人排成纵列,两人一组,并依次落座…。in file排成一列的人(或物)。form in file指“生成,形成队列”。
4.【C4】
read
解析:prayer祷告词是由Miss Miller朗读的,含有被动关系。此处填写read的过去分词read,两者同形不同音。
5.【C5】
repeatedly
解析:因为很大的走动声持续了有几分钟的时间,Miss Miller只能不断地喊着“安静”“列队”。修饰动词exclaim用repeat的副词形式。repeatedly exclaim重复高喊着。
6.【C6】
lay
解析:根据上下文可知,每张桌子上都放着一本《圣经》。以《圣经》做主语时,谓语动词选用lie,表示“放置”,其过去式是lay。
7.【C7】
filled
解析:由下文的indefinite sound可知,房间里全是孩子们低沉、隐约可闻的哼哼声。fillup by/with…充满了…。
8.【C8】
vacant
解析:“米勒小姐选定第四张椅子坐下”说明这张椅子之前的状态是vacant“空着的。空缺的”。
9.【C9】
indefatigable
解析:fatigable易疲劳的。此处钟声已经响起了四次,而且每次孩子们开始新的活动时都会响起,所以钟声给人的感觉应是“不知疲倦的”,即fatigable的否定形式indefatigable。
10.【C10】
little
解析:简觉得自己饿得都快生病了,可见她昨天吃的太少了。take so little,so是修饰little的程度副词,表示少得可怜。
I drove through a snow-whitened landscape towards the Grand Canyon. It was hard to believe that this was the last week of April. Mists and fog swirled about the road. I could see nothing at the sides and【C1】a______of me except the occasional white smear of oncoming headlights. By the time I reached the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park, and paid the $5【C2】ad______, snow was dropping heavily again, thick white flakes so big【C3】______their undersides carried shadows. The road through the park followed the southern lip of the canyon for thirty miles. Two or three times I stopped in lay-bys and went to the edge to peer hopefully into the silent murk, knowing that the canyon was out there, just beyond my nose, but I couldn\’t see anything. The fog was everywhere—threaded【C4】am______the trees, adrift on the roadsides, rising steamily off the pavement.
Afterwards I trudged towards the visitors\’ centre, perhaps 200 yards away, but before I got there I came across a snow-spattered sign【C5】______(announce)a look-out point half a mile away along a trail through the woods, and impulsively I went down it, mostly just to get some air. The path was【C6】sli______ and took a long time to traverse, but on the way the snow stopped falling and the air felt clean and refreshing. Eventually I came to a platform of rocks, marki
