It was a market day; so people and traffic had been pouring into the town since early morning. 1 it was an old town, even the main street was very 2 and soon became overcrowded. There was not enough 3 for all the people on the path at the roadside, 4 they overflowed into the road, 5 danger to their lives from 6 cars and lorries, the drivers of 7 were constantly blowing their horns(喇叭)to 8 people to get out of their 9 . Yet it was a 10 scene. Peasants walked along the street, their heads piled high with baskets or beautifully woven blankets which they hoped to 11 to the townsfolk. Men with carts 12 their way along, shouting their goods at the top of their 13 . They were selling apples, oranges and grapes-the 14 of their fields. 15 it all, women in bright summer clothes made their way, laughing and talking, 16 children rushed in and out of the crowds screaming with laughter when they didn't ask for something they could not have, or crying with 17 because they were lost. The noise went on all day. People did not even stop for a meal, but preferred to buy bits of meat cooked over a fire or bread or ice-cream from the street sellers. The 18 from this and from all the activities of the day began to collect in the street. And finally, when night at last came, the street 19 and only the rubbish 20 sadly blowing in the cooling night wind.

1、根据语境可知从句与主句之间是因果关系,故选D项。for引导原因状语从句通常不放在句首。 2. C。从前一句old一词以及下文的overcrowded可知narrow为最佳选项。 3. D。因上文有overcrowded,下文有overflowed into the road, 故可知本题答案应为D项。 4、然后,接着 5. B。causing danger to sb. 意为“对某人造成危险”,其余三项与句意不符。 6. A。根据本句句意可知,危险来自过往的车辆,所以正确答案为A项。 7. B。从本句结构可知此处需要一个关系代词来引导非限制性定语从句,且先行词指物,故B项正确。 8. A。司机们不停地按喇叭,“说服”人们让路。 9. B。in the / ones way 是“挡路”的意思;get out of ones way是“让开路” 的意思。 10. C。由于此空在第二段的首句(起着主题句的作用),而且第二段描述的是丰富多彩的市井画卷,所以应选C项。 11. B。根据语境,农民拿到市场上的货物应当是出售的,因此应选B项。 12. A。A、C都可用于“v. + ones way”结构,但结合语境,街上非常拥挤,所以选A项最为恰当。 13. A。at the top of ones voice意为“大声地(叫卖) ”,且符合语境,故选A项。 14. C。A、D两项迷惑性很强。但apples, oranges and grapes不是crops,也非productions,故排除。harvest此处是“收获物”之意,符合语境。 15. A。解题的关键是it所指代的内容。it指代street,因此可以考虑在A、B中选定一个。但根据语境,人们在街上穿行一定是顺着街道从一端向另一端走,所以A项为最佳答案。 16. A。while的意思是“然而,可是”,表示比较、对照。 17. D。由于本句中有because they were lost, 可推断孩子的哭是因为迷路而害怕,因此D项为正确答案。 18. C。由下文only the rubbish... 可知 C为正确答案。注意collect此处意为“聚集”。 19. A。根据语境,由于行人散去,街上空无一人,所以本题最佳答案应为A项。 20. A。根据语境,此空动词应为“仍然在……”之意,故选A项。 |
