onedaredcrossit”，可知，此处填cross。答案：C25．解析：Artie试图让他的朋友认识到“他”还不是一个熟练的走钢丝者，穿过悬崖很危险(dangerous)。exciting“令人兴奋的”；wonderful“美好的”；useless“无用的”。答案：A26．解析：但是，那只羊并不同意，并说Billy是“他”见过的最好的(best)走钢丝者。答案：B27．解析：Artie非常生气，并且拒绝(refuse)帮助Billy走钢丝。答案：D28．解析：Billy最终下定决心冒险。makeupone’smindtodo“下定决心做……”。答案：C29．解析：但是，“他”一踏上(step)绳索，就失去平衡摔了下去。答案：A30．解析：幸运的是(fortunately)，“他”掉到了一块小岩架上。答案：D31．解析：当“他”让那只羊(sheep)把“他”拉上去的时候，“他”发现羊已经走了。答案：B32．解析：Billy明白了Artie一直都在告诉“他”事实(truth)。答案：C33．解析：Artie的确是一个好朋友，因为他知道将要发生(happen)什么，他已经准备好了一个计划去救(save)Billy。答案：B34．解析：解析见上题。答案：D35．解析：Billy请求Artie原谅(forgive)“他”，Artie高兴地原谅了“他”。答案：AⅢ.语篇解读：在Pearce的Beasley街上有五对夫妇，他们友谊深厚，在一起已经住了四十五年了。36．解析：推理判断题。根据第一、二段．..onBeasleyStreetinPearcefor45years.及InMay1968...和第三段...whomovedtherethreedecadesago.可推算出，theBrowns在1983年搬来的。答案：D37．解析：细节理解题。根据第六段Theneighboursoftenfeedeachother’spets.Whensomeonegoesonholidaytheywillwatertheirplants.可知①③正确；根据第四段Theirchildrenplayedalldayateachother’shouses...可知④正确；根据第七段Mrs.BrownsaidshefirstgottoknowtheMillerfamilywhen...tookawritingcourse...可知文中并没有说所有人都参加了写作课程，故②错误。答案：C38．解析：词义猜测题。根据第七段内容可知：Mrs.Brown和Mrs.Miller在一节写作课上认识，从那以后，她们发展了一段深厚的友谊，故strikeup是start的意思。答案：A39．解析：推理判断题。通读最后两段可知：Mr.Black不愿意搬走，是因为舍不得他的邻居们，由此可看出他和他的邻里之间拥有深厚的友谊。答案：Aeq\x(语篇解读：本文是说明文，介绍了海马的生活习性、后代繁衍、生存现状等问题。)40．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的Thetophalfofthisfishlookslikeasmallhorse可知。答案：A41．解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的Theykeepsafefromotherfishbyhiding
