完形填空

　　I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week. It was one of the most 1 and tiring games I've ever had. When Ed first phoned and 2 we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an 3 victory. After all, Ed's idea of 4 has always been nothing more 5 than lifting a fork to his mouth. 6 I can remember, Ed's been the least physically fit member in the family, and 7 proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often 8 about that, Ed refused to buy a 9 T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed 10 for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could hardly 11 , 1 was so surprised that I was 12 .

We 16 to play like two mad men. When the score was 16 up, I was having serious 17 about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone 18 that many points.

Answer 1

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

1．根据下文 and tiring提示语该空不能填褒义词．when Ed first phone又表明了surprising之意． 　　2．从句意来看四个选项都可，但从we play可知只能选 D． 　　3．I laughed quietly表达了作者的不屑，因此他 figure on an easy victory． 　　4．第一句话I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week，表明这是exercise． 　　5．lifting a fork to his mouth是不需要努力的． 　　6．作者只要一想起来，他面前就会出现一位大腹便便，体质不强的表兄．因此，表时间的as soon as /when和表原因的since都不能填，而要填 as long as“只要”． 　　7．空前说，他是the least physically fit member in the family，空后却用proud of himself，故填strangely． 　　8．因为His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers，所以家人经常开玩笑．“开……的玩笑”用joke about． 　　9．上文提到His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers，这说明T-shirt太短，要买大的． 　　10．根据情景可知，两个人好长时间没有见面了，电话联系他要来．他来了用arrived比较恰当． 　　11．not only…but also并列连词，连接两个意义或结构相同的成分．前者说with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers表明瘦了，有精神了．因此 but also后则说明大肚子看不出来了．notice意为“注意；发现”． 　　12．整句话的意思是：当表兄来参赛时，不但衬衫的下摆轻轻松松地扎在腰带里，而且大腹便便也没有了，作者是如此的惊奇，以至于哑口无言． 　　13．Ed进行了减肥，结果是打球能力提高了．as a result“结果是”． 　　14．预料为9∶1，结果却是(instead)7∶9，出乎意料． 　　15．据本句句式，是进一步说明出乎意料的结果，选leading说明Ed领先． 　　16．根据下文when the score was 16 up，表明比赛没结果，继续比赛．“继续做……”说成 continue to do sth.． 　　17．这是作者夸张的说法：我疲惫至极，深深怀疑自己是否只能活到21岁． 　　18．score动词，指体育比赛中得分． 　　19．both of us were lying flat on our backs说明太累了，不能动弹． 　　20．整个比赛的结果是双赢．我赢了比赛，表兄赢得了我的尊敬．因而用respect 顺理成章．
