答案与解析:
16. B本题考查动词词义辨析。根据句意,使用梯子的目的是为了够到高处的东西。reach意为“够到,到达”,符合语境。ride意为“骑”,send意为“发送”,make意为“制作”,均不符合题意。
17. C本题考查宾语从句的连接词。根据句意,那个男人环顾四周的目的是“确认是否有人看见他”,表达的是一种不确定的可能性。if在此处引导宾语从句,意为“是否”,符合句意。which意为“哪一个”,when意为“什么时候”,what意为“什么”,均不符合语境。
18. A本题考查名词词义辨析。根据上下文,作者看到一个人鬼鬼祟祟地爬窗户,第一反应是认为这是不法行为,应该报警。police意为“警察”,是处理此类事件的部门,符合语境。teachers(老师)、workers(工人)、drivers(司机)均不符合。更多真题请微信搜索英语巴士小程序。
19. B本题考查名词词义辨析以及对上下文的理解。根据前文,那个男人正在爬一栋房子,警察是因此事而来,所以他们的包围对象必然是那栋房子。house意为“房子”,与上文信息对应。
20. D本题考查形容词词义辨析。根据句意,“or something against the law(或者违法的事)”给出了提示,前后是并列关系,意思应该相近。wrong意为“错误的”,与against the law(违法的)在语意上最为接近。difficult(困难的)、interesting(有趣的)、clever(聪明的)均不符合。
21. A本题考查动词词义辨析。根据句意,警察在处理案件时,核实当事人的身份是标准程序。checked意为“核查,检查”,check his identity意为“核查他的身份”,符合逻辑。moved意为“移动”,dreamed意为“梦想”,visited意为“拜访”,均不符合。
22. C本题考查介词的用法。根据句意,“通过窗户”进入,应该用介词through。on意为“在……上面”,under意为“在……下面”,between意为“在(两者)之间”,均不符合。
23. D本题考查形容词词义辨析以及对上下文的理解。根据后半句“so I apologised to him(所以我向他道了歉)”可知,作者因为自己的误会而感到抱歉。sorry意为“抱歉的”,felt very sorry表示“感到非常抱歉”,符合语境。
24. C本题考查动词词义辨析以及对文章主旨的理解。根据上下文,虽然作者误会了,但他的出发点是好的,是出于对社区安全的警惕。因此,房主和警察非但没有责怪他,反而感谢他的行为。thanked意为“感谢”,符合文章主旨。
25. A本题考查动词词义辨析。根据句意,作者报警的行为体现了对邻居安全的关心,这正是他们感谢他的原因。cared about是固定搭配,意为“关心,在乎”,符合语境。talked about意为“谈论”,threw about意为“乱扔”,forgot about意为“忘记”,均不符合。
