30、式；态度”，in a.manner为固定搭配，表示“以的方式”。解析：J 考点 考查形容词。 degenerate into为固定搭配，表示“退化为；堕落成为”的意思，drizzle意为“毛毛雨，细雨”。该句意为“雨滴垂直落地、雨点很大，因为 -|_|-热带雨从不会变成倾斜的毛毛细雨”。结合上下文和句子结构可知，空格处应填形容词且该形容词是形容热带大雨的暴力、恶劣，与后面的slanting drizzle形成对比，故选项中只有J项符合，fierce意为“猛烈的，(雨、雪等天气)恶劣的”。解析：G 考点 考查名词。 根据前文可知，这里指的是热带暴雨的模式和世界上其他许多地方常见的雨(即倾斜的毛毛
31、雨)的模式都不同，因此G项pattern符合句意，pattern意为“模式”，侧重强调一种有规律的和重复性的模式；而第1空中的manner侧重强调做事的方式，考生可能会把这两个选项混淆。解析：N 考点 考查动词。短语 分析句子结构可知，空格处应填动词。在该段叙述文字中，动词的时态以一般过去时为主，根据空格前后的walked about和determined可知，空格处所填动词也要用一般过去时，因此选N项resigned to。resign to为固定短语，意为“听任，顺从”，该句意为“但也有少数人在雨天外出，任凭雨水淋湿他们的衣服，仍然决定像平常一样。”F项splashed by和M项spla
32、shed out的中心词splashed“溅落”不能跟wetness搭配，D项scattered作动词意为“散布；撒播”也不符合句意，故都排除。解析：F 考点 考查动词。短语 这一句描述的是出租车在雨中行驶在路上的情景。splash作动词时意为“溅泼着行进”，M项splashed out意为“心血来潮地/随意地花(钱)”，F项splashed by意为“溅泼着驶过”，与后面的along the road衔接连贯，由此可知本题选F。解析：K 考点 考查形容词。 句中的windscreen意为“挡风玻璃”，wiper意为“雨刷器”。根据上文可知，由于下大雨，且车前的雨刷器在工作，外面的人只能偶尔瞥
33、见司机不完整的、专注的脸。所给选项中K项fragmentary意为“支离破碎的；不完全的”，D项scattered作形容词时意为“分散的”。由此可见fragmentary glimpses最符合语境，故答案选K。解析：B 考点 考查名词。 根据空格前“整条道路上都是水，所有危险的坑洼和 -|_|-都被隐藏起来”可知，空格处要填的是一个和“危险的坑洼”并列的事物。综观选项，A项constructions意为“建设”，B项obstructions意为“障碍，妨碍物”，因此obstructions符合句意，故选B项。解析：E 考点 考查介词。 分析句子结构可知，peering -|_|- the w
34、indscreens修饰faces，peer为不及物动词，后面不能直接加宾语，因此需要加一个介词。根据常识可知，下雨天司机透过windscreen(挡风玻璃)观察路况，车窗是透明的，所以用介词through更合适，且peer through为固定搭配，意为“透过向外看”，故选E项through。解析：C 考点 考查动词。 根据空格前面的cease to可知，空格处应填动词原形。根据后面for water had splashed up to the electrical system.可知雨水进入了电路系统，车子已经熄火，所以此处是说“出租车司机 -|_|-再留心窗外了。”C项bother,
35、bother to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“费心去做某事”，cease to bother to do sth.意为“不必再麻烦做某事”；H项intend意为“意欲，想要”，intend to do sth.意为“打算做某事”，动作还没有发生，不符合题意，因此选C。解析：I 考点 考查副词。 分析句子结构可知，空格处应填一个副词修饰动词missed。选项中O项closely意为“紧密地，接近地”；I项narrowly意为“勉强地”。这两个副词中最常与miss连用的是narrowly，指的是“勉勉强强地躲过”，此处意为“实际上，汽车在勉强躲过下水道之后，又打滑掉了进去”，故本题应选I项n

42、查形容词。 空格前为最高级标志词most，空格后为名词locks，故空格处应填形容词。综观选项，F项complicated意为“复杂的，难解的”；G项complex意为“复杂的，合成的”；此处应该选complicated，这样the most complicated locks和前面的the tightest knots构成词汇的场景同现。该句意为“他可以在几秒钟内从最紧的结和最复杂的锁中逃脱出来”。A项bound“前往的”，H项astonishing“惊人的”均不符合句意，故排除。解析：E 考点 考查动词。 本句意为“即使没有人知道他是如何做到的，但是毫无疑问他曾经仔细研究过人类 -|_|-
43、的每一种锁。”分析句子结构可知，空格处应填动词的被动形式。I项created意为“创造”，常用于创作文章，作品集之类；E项invented意为“发明”；比较可知E项invented更符合题意。解析：A 考点 考查动词。 此处意为“他们把他用链子 -|_|-了起来并上了锁，但是他瞬间就挣脱了”，由题意可知，此处应该是“捆绑”的意思，故选A项bound，bound的原形bind意为“捆绑，束缚”。解析：O 考点 考查名词。 上下文意思为“警察指责他使用了工具，再次把他锁了起来，而这次他赤身裸体，脖子、腰、手腕、大腿周围全都有 -|_|-，但他再次迅速地逃出来了。”由上下文可知，这里是指“锁链”，故
44、选O项，chains意为“锁链”。解析：B 考点 考查名词。 分析句子结构可知，空格处应填单数形式的名词。该句意为“霍迪尼也许把他的针放在了蜡状 -|_|-中并且把它扔在了地板上”，由句意可推测此处表示“物品，物质”的意思。B项substance意为“物质”，K项material意为“材料”，由此可见B更符合题意。解析：J 考点 考查名词。 由后文推测此处应该是指“霍迪尼把用蜡包裹的针扔在了过道的地板上”，这样当他途中踩过蜡状物的时候，它就会粘在他的脚底。故本题选J项，passage除了有“文章”的意思，还有“走廊，通道”的意思。解析：L 考点 考查连词 本句意为“他踩过蜡状物以便 -|_|-
45、他途中经过时它会粘在他的脚底。”此处应填连接时间状语从句的引导词，选项中只有L项as合适，表示“当的时候”。N项then通常用作副词，表示“然后；那么；于是”，不符合题意，故排除。解析：H 考点 考查形容词。 空格前的altogether意为“完全地”，作副词用来修饰空格处的单词，由此可知空格处应填形容词。空格所在句应该是说“然而，他最著名的一次脱逃非常令人震惊”，H项astonishing意为“震惊的，令人惊讶的”，符合句意，故选H。解析：M 考点 考查动词。 整篇文章的时态都是过去时，过去完成时表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已完成的动作或状态，强调完成的状态；而一般过去时则表示过去的时间发生
46、的动作或存在的状态。此处强调的是在一分钟之内，魔术大师霍迪尼就已游到了水面上，由此可知应该用过去完成时，表示“完成，成就”，故选M项had swum。Asigns Bseek Csymptoms Dpattern Eextensive Fdisruption Ginclusive Hthrough Iretrieve Jstimulus Kpeculiar Lcalls on Mspecific Neruption Obiological Most people who travel long distances complain of jet lag.
