Answer 1

36.B   

解析： 根据下文可知：人和昆虫在这种情况下是很不相同的，而不是近似的，所以我们不能选择其他选项。

37.C   

解析： 短语make every possible effort的意思是尽一切可能去做某事。是一个常用短语。

38.D   

解析： 此题考查动词短语的搭配。give (one's)attention to注意; 关心；pay attention to注意, 重视, 倾听；draw sb.’s attention to sth. 促使某人注意某事。根据意思应该选择D项。

39.A    

解析：上文的show mercy on暗示我们此处应该是一个不幸的人，故选A。

40.C   

解析： 此题还是考查动词辨异。pass by经过, 掠过；leave out省去, 遗漏；set out出发, 开始, 装饰等；get up起床。

41.B   

解析： 根据后文知道蜂王是藏在车身的后面，蜂群是跟在他的车后，故选B。

42.D   

解析： 因为车后有嘈杂声，所以他要下车检查。

43.B   

解析： 中途停车，检查没有问题后他要继续赶路。故而要选择B项。

44.D   

解析： 随着汽车的启动，蜂群也要继续追赶汽车，所以立刻又起。根据意思排除其他几项。

45.B   

解析： 他听到声音迅速转过头来，看后面是怎么回事。

46.A   

解析： 等他转过头来，他才发现车后跟着一团“黑云”，那是黑压压的蜂群。

47.C   

解析： 有人告诉他，蜂群能始终绕着他的车在飞，而不离开，说明一定时有蜂王隐藏在他的车上。Nearby 更形象的描绘了蜂群绕车飞舞而不远离的情形。

48.D   

解析： 当他知道这一切后，他开车飞奔想摆脱蜂群的纠缠，可想而知这是一个小时的艰难旅程。

49. A   

解析： 由后文暗示可知他找到了一家hotel.

50. D   

解析： it was not long before 这是一个固定句式，常译为“没过多久，就……..”

51. C   

解析： 没有多久，一位刚才看见他进来的人“急忙”赶来告诉他关于他的车的事。

52. B   

解析： 那人告诉他：他的车已经被蜂群团团围住了。Crowded是拥挤的，不符合题意。

53. A   

解析： 有人给他出主意，“建议”他去找一个养蜂人。

54. A   

解析： 从上句中可以看出正确答案的。

55. C   

解析： 养蜂人得到了一个蜂王和它的蜂群，这自然是一个意想不到的收获了！故我们应该选择unexpected.较为合适。
