夜雨聆风
一、词汇选择
1. She has lived in a for more than 20 years since her husband was killed in an air crash.
A. vase
B. vacuum
C. vacation
D. vapor
答案：B
解析：in a vacuum（在与世隔绝的状态中）。in a vase（在花瓶里），in vapor（在蒸汽中）均不符合上下文逻辑搭配，vacation不能与in搭配。故只有B选项符合题意。
2. Emma used to be a very shy girl, but two years of living abroad has completely her.
A. reformed
B. informed
C. transformed
D. deformed
答案：C
解析：本题主要考查和人物性格改变有关的单词，首先排除reform（改革）和inform（通知）两个选项，剩下两个选项皆含有“变形”之意，但deform多指不正常的变形，使人或物变得畸形，不符合题意，故只有C选项正确。
3. United States citizens are now enjoying better dental health, as shown by the declining of tooth decay.
A. accidents
B. incidence
C. prominence
D. consequence
答案：B
解析：通过逻辑分析可知所缺名词应为“发生率”，而四个选项中只有incidence符合题意。其余三项accidents（事故，意外事件），prominence（突出，显著），consequence（结果；重要性；推论）皆不符合题意。
二、词汇替换
1. Unsure of his welcome at the Christmas party, Scrooge took a tentative step into his nephew's drawing room.
A. persuasive
B. decisive
C. tortuous
D. hesitant
答案：D
解析：A选项意为“有说服力的”，B选项意为“决定性的；坚决的”，C选项意为“拐弯抹角的；含混不清的；弯弯曲曲的”，D选项意为“犹豫的，踌躇的”。
2. The party leaders doubted that they had enough votes in both houses of Congress to ratify the constitutional amendment.
A.denounce
B.deny
C.approve
D.deliberate
答案：C
解析：A选项意为“告发；公开指责；正式指控；通告废除”，B选项意为“否认”，C选项意为“批准，通过”，D选项意为“蓄意，故意；仔细考虑”。
3. Not all sounds made by animals serve as languages, and we have only to turn to the discovery of echo-location in bats to see a case in which the voice plays a strictly utilitarian one.
A. meticulous
B. reclusive
C. emotional
D. practical
答案：D
解析：A选项意为“细心的；小心翼翼的”，B选项意为“隐遁的，隐居的”，C选项意为“动情的，感情脆弱的”，D选项意为“实用的”。
三、语法改错
1. The traffic police stopped three trucks heavily loading with merchandise that looked as grain bags.
A. filled with
B. loaded with
C. loaded by
D. be loaded with
答案：B
解析：画线部分中是分词短语作后置定语修饰trucks，本句中分词短语的逻辑主语是trucks，应该用过去分词表被动。A选项表示“装得满满的”，B选项除了表示“装满”之外，还有“重压”之意，C选项不合适，by后面应当跟动作的行为人，而本句中没有出现行为人。故选B。
2. Except his broken leg in the earlier part of the season, he might have been in the England team to play Poland yesterday.
A. Except for
B. But for
C. Besides
D. If only
解析：从全句来看，主句使用了虚拟语气，因此主句前面部分应该是表示非真实条件的。四个选项中只有B选项和D选项能够表示非真实条件，但是if only引导的非真实条件句是表达强烈的遗憾，意为“若是……该多好”，but for是介词词组，表达“要不是，如果没有”，符合语义，故选B。
3. Completed his examination of the woman patient, the doctor offered his judgment of her condition.
A. Have completed
B. So completing
C. Upon completing
D. As completing
答案：C
解析：本句中叙述了医生先检查，后诊断两个动作，动作之间几乎是没有间断的，所以这里用过去分词是错误的。四个选项中，so不是介词，后面不能跟v.+ing形式，尽管as也可以作介词使用，但它的语义是“作为，以……的身份；如同”，排除B和D选项，故选C。
