解答 41-45 BADCB 46-50 AADCB 51-55 DDCAC 56-60 BDBDC

42.A 考查上下文串联.动词watch注视;monitor监视;anticipate预料;inspect视察;根据44空后I continuedto observe,可知我一直在观察她的行为.故A正确.
43.D 考查动词短语辨析.短语set off引起,使…发生;get through通过,接通电话;refer to提及,谈到;head for朝…过去;我怀疑她要去街道对面的收容所,因为很明显她在去某个对方的路上.ABC与the homeless shelter不搭配.故D项正确.
44.C 考查连词辨析.因为很明显她要去某个地方,所以我怀疑她可能就要去路对面的收容所.上下文之间是因果关系,所以使用连词as.故C正确.
45.B 考查上下文串联.根据横线后句a skirt nearly to her ankles,a blouse,and a lace shawl around hershoulders.长裙拖到脚踝,还有蕾丝披肩,这些服饰都说明她是一个思想保守的人.故B正确.

49.C 考查形容词辨析.形容词abstract抽象册;concrete具体的,有形的;vague模糊的;ambitious有野心的;根据后句but she did share that she had been travelling for a while但是他还是和我分享了她旅游了一段时间.句中的but说明前句与后句是转折关系,所以前半句使用vague,指她并没有和我很清晰地叙述自己的情况,说明她很有戒心.故C正确.
50.B 考查上下文串联.名词friend朋友;stranger陌生人;relative亲戚;by-standers旁观者;在一路上帮助她的都是她不认识的陌生人.她不可能在一路上都有朋友,亲戚的.所以B项正确.
51.D 考查名词辨析.名词home家;place地方;habitat栖息地;destination目的地.她要去的目的地在离我们三个小时的车程以外的地方.故D项正确.

58.B 考查上下文串联.名词recovery恢复;return返回;arrival到达;departure出发;根据52空后she askedif we could stop at a grocery store.她到杂货店里买东西.本句指她卖完东西从杂货店返回.故B项正确.
59.D 考查动词辨析.动词decline下降;reject拒绝;receive收到;accept接受;我告诉她我给宾馆打电话订房间,她也接受了我的好意.故D正确.
