分析 文章大意:本文介绍了俗语"倾盆大雨",在英语中直译为"天上下猫和狗了".小Richie没有听过这个俗语,所以当听到奶奶说这个俗语时不能理解,以为天上真的下了猫和狗,但却只看到雨下得很大,后来奶奶解释了这个俗语,小Richie明白了.
解答 41.C 考查对语境的理解.由上文奶奶说It's raining cats and dogs可知,此处表示他想看天空中下猫和狗,选C.
42.D 考查形容词辨析.A表示重要的;B表示可能的;C表示必要的;D表示奇怪的.由下文的there were no cats or dogs可知此处表示他觉得奇怪的,选D.
43.B 考查连词.A表示除非;B表示在…后;C表示直到;D表示虽然.由he looked out of the window,too可知Man,it's really coming down out there这句话是在Bob叔叔从窗子向外看了之后说的,选B.
44.A 考查情态动词.A表示不能,不可能;B表示不应该;C表示不必;D表示禁止.结合语境可知此处表示他们说的猫和狗并不能被看见,选A.
45.D 考查名词辨析.A表示天,日子;B表示动物;C表示主意;D表示人.奶奶说的cats and dogs是复数,而此处Uncle Bob以用的it(单数)来表示,说明此处表示现在有人用"it",这些人怎么了,选D,表示小Richie的困惑.
46.B 考查短语辨析.A表示对…大喊;B表示看;C表示嘲笑;D表示指向.结合语境可知此处表示他看向他的姑姑,选B.
47.C 考查疑问词.A表示什么;B表示如何;C表示哪里;D表示谁.结合语境可知此时小Richie还不明白奶奶说的俗语的意思,所以问"但猫和狗在哪呢",选C.
48.C 考查动词辨析.A表示解释;B表示证明;C表示意味着,意思;D表示展示.结合语境可知此处表示奶奶解释这个俗语的意思,句意为"它的意思只是说雨下得很大",选C.
49.D 考查动词辨析.A表示订,点;B表示想,认为;C表示重复;D表示问.由"So why didn't you just say that?"可知此处表示小Richine问,选D.
50.A 考查名词辨析.A表示俗语;B表示问题;C表示目标;D表示故事.结合语境可知此处 表示你只是不明白这个俗语的意思而已,选A.
