网友回答
(答案→)D
解析：本文叙述一个下雪天，一位农夫回家的路上见到一个死人，吓得把篮子丢下就跑了。第二天被当作嫌犯带到警察局去审讯的故事。审讯中，警官问他有没有见过那把刀，他两次回答的不同。
【小题1】考查be动词的用法及上下文的呼应。由第一句话可知，这篇文章是在用过去时讲述一个故事，所以这句话也用一般过去时，而前半句说下着雪，可以推断街上几乎没有人，因此这句话是there be结构表示“有……”。People 是复数意义的名词，所以be动词用were,故选D。
【小题2】考查介词及上下文的呼应。“在某人回家的路上”用“on one’s way home”,故选A。
【小题3】考查动词及上下文的呼应。本句意为“在他回家的路上，他看见一个男人正躺在雪里。”看见某人正在做某事是see sb. doing sth. ,lie的现在分词是lying,故选A。
【小题4】考查介词短语及上下文的呼应。A. in the snow在雪里；B. on his shoulder在肩膀上；C. on his back在背上；D. on the ground在地上。 本句要表达的意思是他把篮子放在地上，准备帮男人起来。只有放在地上最合适，故选D。
【小题5】考查动词及上下文的呼应。A. make sb do sth.使某人做某事 ；B. help sb. (to) do sth.帮助某人做某事；C. let sb. do sth 让某人做某事；D. hope不能接sb . to do sth..根据这些词的用法，只能选B。
【小题6】考查代词及上下文的呼应。Found 后面是一个宾语从句，空里的词做的是主语，所以不能用宾格，而且因为已经是死人了，所以用it, 故选C。
【小题7】考查连词及上下文的呼应。A. even甚至；B. so因此；C. and而且；此句意为“那时他发现那是个死人，而且地上有许多血。”根据意思，这里是顺承关系，故选C。
【小题8】考查名词及上下文的呼应。A. a lot需要加of才能接名词；C. quite a few相当多（修饰可数名词）；D. many许多修饰可数名词；只有much 修饰不可数名词，而blood是不可数名词，故选B。
【小题9】考查副词及上下文的呼应。词句意为“他太害怕了，所以马上就跑了。”这里是so……that……”句型，表示如此……以至于…..，故选C。
【小题10】考查副词及上下文的呼应。A. in time 及时；B. slowly缓慢地；C. happily 高兴地；D. quickly迅速地。因为太害怕了，所以迅速跑掉，故选D。
【小题11】考查介词短语及上下文的呼应。根据下文，警局出示了他的篮子，可知他当时没把篮子拿走，这里是介词短语表伴随，故选A。
【小题12】考查名词及上下文的呼应。根据“I saw it _45 this morning, sir.”可知他是第二天早晨被带到警察局的，故选B。
【小题13】考查副词及上下文的呼应。A. loudly大声地；B. friendly友好地；C. nervously紧张地；D. proudly自豪地。因为他因为那个死人而被带到警局，证明他有嫌疑，所以他很紧张，故选 C。
【小题14】考查动词及上下文的呼应。A. killed杀死；B. asked问；C. sent寄出，送；D. helped帮助。根据下一句说警察拿出一把刀，可知他们在调查是谁杀死了那个男人，所以这句话是在问“你见到谁杀了他妈？”故选 A。
【小题15】考查非谓语动词及上下文的呼应。告诉某人做某事是“tell sb. to do sth.”，所以选D。
【小题16】考查动词及上下文的呼应。这句话意为“警官让警员暴打了他一顿并把他送进监狱。”把某人送进监狱是“put sb. to prison”，所以本题选A。
【小题17】考查动词及上下文的呼应。本句意为“那天下午，警官继续审讯农民。”try 意为审讯，继续做某事是go on doing sth.，所以本题选C。
【小题18】考查非谓语动词及上下文的呼应。句意“指着那把刀，警官又一次问他。”这里是现在分词做伴随状语，故选D。
【小题19】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。A. grey灰色的；B. happy 高兴的；C. angry again 又生气的；D. silly愚蠢的。因为上次警官问他有没有见过那把刀，他说没见过，而这次他说见过，警官以为找到了线索，所以变得高兴，故选B。
【小题20】考查名词词组及上下文的呼应。A. in my basket我的篮子里；B. here 这儿；C. near my basket 我的篮子附近；D. in the snow在雪里。根据上文可知，农民是在警察刚把他带到警局给他出示那把刀时，才第一次见到那刀，所以他回答的是“今天早晨在这儿见的。”故选 B。
