内容概要：本文描述的是Rex，一个头脑简单、力大无比的小狗。它爱好游泳，爱做一些无意义的事来表现它的力气。

   答案简析：

1、选B。根据第2空后的in the water可以排除另三个选项。

2、选A。因为十分喜欢游泳，所以有乐趣。

3、选C。根据后面的to go in 这一带to的不定或短语可以排除另三个选项。

4、选C。did用以加强语气，正好回应前一句。

5、选A。remind sb of sth意为“使人想起”。

6、选D。when引起定语从句修饰that night。

7、选A。“没人知道，他从多远的地方弄来箱子”。此句用来补充说明somewhere，由have a race也可推测此处指距离。

8、选A。could easily强调是狗本身的一种属性，一种能力。因为Rex是条狗，善于奔跑，且有股蛮劲，所以这件事对它来说“可能”很容易。

9、选B。主人最终还是将其扔掉了，可见其“无价值”。

10、选C。从后面主人又将其扔掉来看，这只破箱子是被人“遗弃的”，没用的箱子。

11、选A。前后是因果关系。

12、选B。下面一句有it sounded， 所以用heard。

13、选C。后面描述的动作与实际情况完全相反，故选as if，表达一种虚拟语气。

14、选D。tear the house down意为“拆房子”。

15、选D。狗就在门厅，所以打开那儿的灯。

16、选C。catch意为“被钩住”，这是狗拖不动箱子的主要原因。

17、选C。由于主人知道狗的蛮劲，故推测如果没人帮它，它会拨弄箱子“一直到”天亮，即到主人起身发现这一切时。

18、选B。箱子如果扔“近”一些，Rex又会捡回来的。

19、选D。after all（毕竟），表达一种让步的口吻。

20、选A。从狗喜欢表现自己拖动重物的本领来分析，它对自己这方面的能力是引以为“自豪的”。

内容概要：本文讲述了Tom第一次到英格兰，不听朋友的建议，独自外出，结果把火车的方向弄反了，以致到错了地方。

答案简析：

1、选B。against one’s advice意为“违背别人的建议”。

2、选A。通过下文得知他是一人出来，故用alone。

3、选D。下面街道人多为患，所以用“bad”。

4、选A。for表原因，用以解释 bad time。

5、选B。要排长队购票是不以他的意志为转移的，他是“不得不”排队。

6、选D。turn表示“轮次”。

7、选D。售票员听不懂他的话，他却把票买成了，前后句显然有“转折”关系。

8、选B。问路一般用ask the “way”。

9、选A。be packed with be crowded with。正因为人拥挤，才没上得了第一趟火车。

14、选C。看不清的应是“站名”。signs应注意排除，毕竟他首次到英国，即使各个站有其独特的符号、标记，他也不可能知道。

15、选B。站就是火车“停”靠的地方。

16、选C。这里的stop与station同义。

17、选A。觉得旅行如此轻松，心情当然是“高兴的”。

18、选A。选项D应注意排除，因为他不是英国人，所以没到过这个车站是明摆着的，故这一答案是正确，但与hear of 相比，不能算是最佳答案。

19、选C。这里的difficulty指他当时的一种迷茫。究竟是怎么一回事，他还未知道，所以谈不上什么错误，故选项B，不能确定为答案。

20、选B。听说Tom乘车的方向完全反了，那人的第一反应应当是觉得好笑，即答案应在A、B之间。joke不可能出现在脸上，故答案只能为B。
