答 案與解析
1.【答案】A
根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容，作者講的是怎樣成為動物愛好者的(從小就喜歡動物)，應(yīng)當(dāng)選擇how。
2. 【答案】C
in the first place是固定短語，意思是“首先”,相當(dāng)于 for the first time。此句意思是：別人經(jīng)常問到的問題之一，是當(dāng)初我是如何愛上動物的。
3.【答案】A
這句話的意思是：作者在牙牙學(xué)語之 時，最早發(fā)清楚的音是“zoo”(動物園),而不是“媽媽”，“爸爸”，因此，應(yīng)選clarity“清晰”。填入其他選項emotion(感 情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友愛)不合邏輯。

4.【答案】B
but在此處連接另一個句 子(it was the word“zoo”，“it was”被省略)，表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意為“而是”，except,except for,but for的用法接近，表示“除了……”,沒有轉(zhuǎn)折意義。
5.【答案】D
根據(jù)后面的over and over again,應(yīng)選repeat重復(fù)。recite 背誦，recognize認(rèn)出。
6.【答案】C
小孩想去動物園，便不停地發(fā)出 尖叫聲，故選“voice(嗓音)”。A shrill(興奮的)voice與scream的意思接近。volume(音量)，noise(噪音)，pitch(音調(diào))均不合要求。
7.【答案】B
根據(jù)上下文，此句的意思是：讓孩子停止尖叫，只好帶他去動物園。shut sb.up是指讓某人住口;comfort 安慰。所以選B。
8.【答案】A
分析此句。后面主句是一般過去時，此處只能用一般過去時。
9.【答案】C
a great many后直接跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式;a great/large amount of后跟不可數(shù)名詞;只有a great/large number of后可以跟可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。
10.【答案】D
分析此句，此空表示探索的含義。 living后必須接介詞in，意為“居住”;cultivating耕種;reclaiming開墾;只有exploring有探索的意思。
11.【答案】C
add to相當(dāng)于increase，增加。其余選項后面都不接to，enrich 使……豐富。
12.【答 案】A
本題考查近義詞用法。later on為固定短語，“后來”;subsequently 后來地，隨后地。
13.【答案】 D
attendant仆人;keeper可理解為“飼養(yǎng)員”;aide有“助手”之義。作者一邊上學(xué)，一邊在動物園里打工，只能當(dāng)助手。
14.【答案】D
分析句子語法結(jié)構(gòu)。which在此引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾前面列出的動物。
15.【答案】D
根據(jù)句子 所表達(dá)的含義，因為打工掙足了錢，選successfully更能體現(xiàn)其含義。
16.【答案】D
finance my first trip意為“支付我的旅行費用”;pay后應(yīng)接介詞for;provide提供;allow允許 。
17.【答案】B
分析句子語法結(jié)構(gòu)，此句為現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時態(tài)，選regularly(有規(guī)律地)比較貼切;normally正常地。
18.【答案】D
分析此句，此空與上文的not an easy one構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系。expectations期望;sorrows悲傷;excitement興奮;disappointments失望。所以選D更貼 切。
19.【答案】C　　本題考查固定搭配。appeal to為成語，意思是“吸引”。
20.【答案】B
excursion短途旅行;journey(從一地到另一地的)長距離，具體的旅途;travel泛指旅行，旅游;trip旅行，遠(yuǎn)足。根據(jù)上下文，該 句意為“盡管工作充滿了失望，還是吸引了熱愛動物和旅行的人”。所以選B。
