B.did C.began D.had【解析】C。这里did和finished都表示完成了这项工作，而给篮子装满水是不行能的，国王应在两人开头打水后不久离开，所以应选began。(B)2.A.ever B.never C.easily D.no【解析】B。往篮子里盛满水是永久不行能的，故选择never。(A)3.A.Theother B.Another C.One D.Asecond【解析】A。两者中的另一个用theother加名词来表示。(C)4.A.anything B.something C.nothing D.everything【解析】C。thefirstman想离开，由于他觉得自己干的是无用功，故选择nothing意为“从事某项工作”。(D)5.A.pickedup B.putaway

D.clean【解析】B。不停地打水必定会导致井空，故选empty。(B)8.A.While B.Assoonas C.Before D.Since【解析】B。while引导从句时，从句应用连续性动词，before和since不符合文意，assoonas…表示“一……就”为正确选项。(A)9.A.havedone B.willdo C.do D.aredoing【解析】A国王是由于这个恳切的人所做过的事情而表扬他，所以应用完成时态havedone。(D)10.A.what B.why C.whenD.that【解析】D。国王讲的最终一句话是含有“so……that”结构的复合句，意为“如此……以致”故选that。阅读下列短文,从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。(2021·长沙市二模，B)Thesedays,thereareveryfewwildanimalsleftintheUK.Thewolveshavegone.Thebearshavebeenhuntedtoextinction.Fortunately,thereareafewbadgers(獾)—Oh,well,actually,notforlongastheBritishgovernmenthasjustdecidedtokillthemtoo!Butwhy?Badgersarefascinatingcreatures.Theblackandwhitemammalsliveundergroundin“setts”，whichtheydigoutoftheearth.Theyareextremelybrave,fightingofflargeranimalssuchasbearsandwolves.Theproblemisthatsomebadgerscarry“BovineTuberculosis”(BTB),aninfectiousdiseasecausedbythebacteriumMycobacteriumBovis(M.Bovis)whichcancauseTBinsomeotheranimals,includingcattle.Forfarmers,thisisaseriousissue.In1998intheUK,almost6000cowswerekilledtocontrolthedisease.Andin2010,morethan30000animalsweredestroyed.It'sexpensivetoo.BovineTBcoststheUKabout￡100millionperyear.Andsomebelievethatthediseasecouldendupcostingtheeconomy￡9billionoverthenext40yearsifnothingisdoneaboutit.Expertssaythatbadgersareresponsibleforabout50%oftheinfectedcattle.So,aftermuchdebate,thegovernmenthasagreedtoabadgercull(杀戮).Thiswillmeanabout30000oftheinnocentcreatureswillbewipedouttofightthedisease.EnvironmentSecretaryCarolineSpelmanadmittedthattherewas“greatstrengthoffeeling”aboutit,butsaid,“Ibelievethisistherightwayforward.”Ofcourse,manyareagainstthemeasure,includingconservationistsandanimalrightsactivists.Theyclaimthatkillingthebadgersincontrolledzoneswouldn'tworkbecausebadgersfromneighboringareaswouldsimplymoveintotheemptysettsandbecomeinfectedtoo.Furthermore,theybelievethatthewaycattleareraisedintensively,andtransportedaroundtolotsofdifferentfarmsduringtheirlivesisprobablythebiggestcauseofthespreadofthedisease.Mostordinarypeopleareagainstthemeasuretoo.Asurveysuggestsabouttwothirdsareagainstkillingthebadgers,withmajoritiesagainstkillingthemregardlessofage,regionandgender.Oneofthealternativestothecullinvolvesusingvaccine(疫苗)onbadgers.However,thiscostsanaverageof￡2250peryearpersquarekilometer.Trappingandshootingbadgerscosts￡2500peryear,butshootingfreerunningbadgersonlycostsabout￡200peryear(persquarekilometer)．So,withthatinmind,it'seasytoseehowthegovernmentarrivedattheirdecision.Moneytalks!文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。在英国，一些獾身上携带TB病菌，这种病菌会传播给牲畜，从而给农夫带来巨大的损失。政府不顾多数人的反对，打算实行行动来杀掉獾，由于对他们来说，这样做的代价相对来说较低。16．Whydoesthegovernmentwanttokillthebadgers?A．Becausethereisnootherchoicetocutthespreadofthedisease.B．BecausebadgerscarryTB,adiseasewhichcaninfectotheranimals.C．Becausetheyalmostwipedoutanentirepopulationofcattle.D．BecauseitmightbeaneffectivewaytofightTBattheleastexpense.答案：D细节理解题。依据文章其次段中第四句“Theproblemisthatsomebadgerscarry‘BovineTuberculosis’(BTB)．..”及倒数其次段最终一句“...shootingfreerunningbadgersonlycostsabout￡200peryear(persquarekilometer)．”可知，杀死獾可能是以最低价来对抗TB传播的有效方法。故答案选D。17．WhichofthefollowingstatementsisTRUE?A．Somepeopleobjecttocullingbecauseitcostsmuchmoretotrapandshootbadgers.B．Inthefollowingfourdecades,￡9billionwillbespentonTB.C．Basedonthesurvey,peopleofdifferentagegroups,regionsandbothgendersareagainstkillingthebadgers.D．CarolineSpelmanthoughtbadgersshouldbeculleddespitepeople'sstrongreaction.答案：C细节理解题。依据倒数其次段其次句“Asurveysuggestsabouttwothirdsareagainstkillingthebadgers,withmajoritiesagainstkillingthemregardlessofage,regionandgender.”可知，一项调查表明来自不同年龄、地区和性别的人，大多数都反对屠杀獾。故答案选C。18．Whoisstronglyforkillingthebadgersaccordingthepassage?A．Thegovernment.B．Mostordinarypeople.C．Conservationists.D．Animalrightsactivists.答案：A细节理解题。依据文章第四、五、六段及文章最终一段中“it'seasytoseehowthegovernmentarrivedattheirdecision.Moneytalks！”可知，政府对屠杀獾是格外支持的，由于这样做的代价最低。故答案选A。19．Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardgovernment'sdecision?A．Supportive.
