42.D32．答案为D

各词组的意思：A进入，得到，继承，B遇到，C下来，倒塌，D产生，根据题意选D。

43.D解析：本题属词选题。前文第二段第一句中的"wecall…aches"已提示答案。

44.C解析：本题测试运用介词的能力。本题中与介词搭配的是被其他词修饰的mornings，根据语法规则应该用On，这与词组inthemorning中的用法不同。

45.D解析：见上一条。

46.Dfalldown=fail“失败”；breakout“爆发(战争)”；wakeup“醒来”；takeplace“发生，举行”。由题意知选D项。

47.A解析：quarreling不可数，所以用much修饰，此处也无比较的意思，故不用more。

49.A解析：本句意思是“没有通知就不要再给我寄书了”。A选项notice的意思是“通知、预告”，最合题意。而B选项information意思足“信息”，与题意明显不符，故不用。

50.C25．答案为C

54.B解析：该题测试辅音字母组合th的读音。选项A、C、D中出发[θ]音；选项B中th发[z]音。

55.AA画线部分读[

?]，其他选项的画线部分读[s]。

56.D

57.D

58.D画线部分读

；其他选项的画线部分读。

59.B

60.C解析：画线部分读[eu]，其他选项的画线部分读[ju:].

61.A条件从句去掉if主谓倒装。选项A是正确的。【句子大意】如果人们能再忍耐一些，我们的世界会更好。

62.D

63.B解析：该题测试feellikedoing的搭配，表示“想做某事”，like是介词，故选B。

64.D解析：本题考查固定词组的用法。atsometime一段时间，foronetime一次，atonetime以前曾经。

65.C解析：except后可接从句。

66.D

67.A参考译文：希望工程在中国好像开展得不错。此题根据题意应该用现在进行时，排除C。“进展”是“getalong”，且应该用主动语态，故选A。D"getonwith"的意思是“继续做”。

68.D解析：本题考固定搭配。withcare意为“小心地”，符合句意。本句大意为；学生有特殊困难的地方都受到了特别的关照。

69.popularity

70.Dbefore引导的时间状语从句可以用一般现在时表示将来。

71.D解析：本题考动词短语的辨析。breakaway意为“脱离”；breakout意为“爆发”breakthrough意为“突破”；breakoff意为“中断”。结合句意，故D项正确。本句大意为：我不知道他为什么一句话讲了一半就停了。

72.B

73.B解析：作ask的宾语需用宾格me。

74.C以否定词起始的句子其主谓应倒装，排除A项和B项。can表示“能够”，should表示“应该”。按句子的含意，应为“能够”。C项是正确的。句意为：“世界上没有任何地方能够找到比这个小镇更多的好心人。”

75.C本题为固定搭配题。putsth．intopractice意为“把……付诸实践”。本句大意为：我们已拟定计划，那么我们现在就要把它付诸实践。

76.A解析：ones指代前面“vitamins”。

77.B

78.Cresign表“辞职”。

79.D

80.A这道题考查定语从句的用法。空格处为要选择的关系代词，空格前为先行词way，即方式、方法，从定语从句的句意可以看出，是说狗死的方式或动因，可用inwhich或that(可省略)，故选A项。
