A.pity B.shame
C.sympathy D.mercy
解析 考查sympathy的用法。句意:出于對無家可歸的孩子們的同情,他給他們提供了住處。out of sympathy for是固定短語,意為“出于對……的同情”,符合句意。pity“憐憫;惋惜”;shame“可惜;羞愧”;mercy“仁慈”;三者皆不合句意。

6.Many couples______to adopt the baby which survived the earthquake.
A.are desiring B.have been desiring
C.have desired D.desire

答案 D

答案 A
13.The escaped prisoner,______,looked up and stared in the direction where the noise came from.
A.alarming B.alarmed
C.having alarmed D.to be alarmed
解析 由語境可知,這里描述的是越獄的囚犯聽到聲音的樣子,所以應該用alarmed,意思是“驚恐的”。
答案 B
14.If asked,I ______ his opinion of going abroad for further study.After all,it is a good chance to train himself.
A.declared for B.declared against
C.agreed on D.protected against
解析 考查短語辨析。由下文的After all,it is a good chance to train himself可推知,“我”是贊成他出國留學的,故選擇declare for,其意為“宣布贊成”。declare against表態(tài)反對,聲稱反對;protect against“使……免受……”。
答案 A
15.At the bad news,she was so sad ______ I had to stay here keeping her ______.
A.that;companion B.then;companies
C.that;company D.and;accompany
解析 考查結果狀語從句及固定搭配。句意:聽到這個不好的消息,她如此悲傷以至于我得留下來陪她。此句采用了“so...that”結構,that引導的是結果狀語從句;keep sb.company為固定表達,意思是“陪伴某人”或“為某人作伴”。
答案 C
