　　June 29 came and, of course, I hadn't lost a single pound: in fact , I had 4 two. But I 5 a nice new girdle(紧身衣) would cure everything. So on our way out of the city, we 6 once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a 7 large panty girdle.

　　The next morning was one of those ninety-degree days, so I 10 to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I popped open the box only to 11 a new, $ 49.95 girdle in a size small.

Answer 1

答案：B;B;C;C;D;C;A;A;B;D;A;C;B;D;A;B;C;A;D;D
解析：

1．B　　　　导解：根据上下文可知是到商店买东西。全文围绕“买衣服”这一话题。读罢此文，我们不禁想，有多少女人不是这样“痛并快乐着”而美丽动人呢？ 　　2．B　　导解：根据下文可知裙子有点紧，所以有了“想减肥”，买紧身衣的下文。 　　3．C　　导解：A，D形式不对，应该用could, would, should, B项搭配不对，应该用wish to do. 　　4．C　　导解：不仅一磅没减，反而长了两磅。“长胖”用gain/put on weight，“减肥”用lose weight. 　　5．D　　导解：think（认为，以为）不如figure（合计，算计）意义恰当。think侧重于主观判断，figure是经过推算的结论，“我”买衣服还是经过周全考虑的。 　　6．C　　导解；A，D与at不能搭配；从文中可知商店不是他们的目的地，本句指在出城到旅馆去的路上在商店停留。 　　7．A　　导解：根据常识，衣服的标识是尺寸大小；根据下文，第21空所在句中有in a size small，下文有提示。完形题一定要注意上下文的提示，特别是逾越句子层次的理解和推断。 　　8．A　　导解：“我”说不用试了，可见此时“我”还没买呢（B，C错），而say用在此处搭配不对：the said girdle（错），因此A，“所描述的”，describe sth． 　　9．B　　导解：既然大号的合适，就“没必要”试穿了。 　　10．D　　导解：A，B均是心理活动，此处指付诸行动，try to do表过去动作时有其特殊含义（失败了），因此选D，等到临出发前45分钟再穿衣服。 　　11．A　　导解：主要区别A，B项。notice为无意中注意到，find表示“发现”，“我”打开盒子穿衣服，当然是“去看”上面标的尺寸，用only to/find，“结果发现”。 　　12．C　　导解：“如果没有紧身衣，这套衣服就穿不上”，fit指衣服大小合适，符合语法与文意，A，D是及物动词且搭配不对，C是指“起作用”，与句意不符。 　　13．B　　导解：break out意为“（战争、火灾等）发生，爆发”，“我”要把紧身衣穿上身，而紧身衣大号拿成了小号，难穿上身，于是发生了“人衣大战”。 　　14．D　　导解：此处为一幽默的比方。“你们谁试过硬往只能装5磅的袋子里抖进20磅土豆吗？”在生活经历中，当你想往容器中多装点米、面、茶叶、土豆时，你会将容器摇晃以期多装一点。随后一句有提示：shook me down into it. 　　15．A　　导解：看见这种情况（胖人穿小衣服，塞都塞不进去），不大笑才怪呢，用laugh． 　　16．B　　导解：go with意思是“与……相配”，本来挺好的一套粉红色衣服，气急败坏的“我”脸都气紫了，当然颜色搭配不协调了，又一个幽默句。 　　17．C　　导解：短文第一句就交待了婚礼的地方是church． 　　18．A　　导解：英美习俗，耸肩表示不知道或无可奈何。 　　19．D　　导解：从对时间的描述来看，连八又二分之一秒都计算出来了，可见“我”度秒如年，“我”的心情可想而知。 　　20．D　　导解：本句大意：神父为所有的事情赐福，除了我的紧身裤！（它正让我难受呢，惟愿赶快回旅馆把它换掉）
