答案：A
7．解析：因为一切正常，因此警察认为有人在耍花招。从后面的“We must find out that mischievous__8__(woman)”也可以得此答案。
答案：D
8．解析：从前文可以知道，报案的是一个妇女。
答案：D
9．解析：联系前文“We must find out that mischievous__8__(woman)and...”可以知道，如果他们找出是哪个妇女在恶作剧，他们一定会惩罚她的。但是没等他们想出如何惩罚她，火车就呼啸着开过来了。
答案：A
10．解析：从后文“When it was passing the crossing”可以知道，卡车也开过来了。“It came running”意思是“跑过来”。
答案：C
11．解析：从后文可以知道，火车与卡车相撞了，因此当开到路口，卡车再也不能向前走了。

答案：B
16．解析：从空前的“As he was taken to hospital in time”可以知道，因为抢救及时，司机最后被救了。在本句中as表示原因。
答案：B
17．解析：联系下文but failed可以知道，警察想找到那个妇女，但是没有找到。
答案：B
18．解析：从前文可以知道，是妇女打电话给警察的。

答案：
英国一位老伯在自己的温室里种出了一个心形的番茄，之后进行拍卖，并把卖得的钱捐给英国心脏基金会。形状这么有爱的番茄，只有有爱的园丁才能种出来吧！
1．解析：考查时态和语态。分析句子成分可知，describe与tomato之间是被动关系，又因描述的是客观事实，故填动词一般现在时的被动语态形式。
答案：is described
2．解析：考查词形转换。分析句子成分可知，所填词应作定语修饰名词且表示“已退休的”，故填retired。
答案：retired
3．解析：考查词形转换。late意为“迟的，晚的”。latest意为“最近的”。根据语境“Rod说当他在自己的温室里查看最近的农产品时看到了它，他吃了一惊”可知，应填latest。
答案：latest
4．解析：考查固定搭配。分析句子结构可知，此处考查“so＋adj./adv.＋that...”结构，表示“如此……以至于……”。
答案：that
5．解析：考查介词。donate sth. to...意为“把某物捐献给……”，是固定搭配。
答案：to
6．解析：考查固定搭配。at the price of 为固定搭配，表示某物的价格。
答案：at
7．解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处考查非限制性定语从句，因先行词为woman，故填关系代词who。
答案：who
8．解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，deliver与Mr. Matless之间是逻辑上的主谓关系且时间上表示将来，故用动词不定式作目的状语。
答案：to deliver
9．解析：考查词形转换。不定代词的后置定语应用形容词形式，故填horrible。
答案：horrible
10．解析：考查情态动词。根据语境“时间多点，我可能会筹到更多的钱”和“I was worried about it”可知，此处表示对过去的推测。could have done意为“(过去)本能做某事(但未做)”。
答案：could have raised
Ⅲ.短文改错

She fell to the ground with a cry；therefore, the car didn't stop but drove off.I took down the plate number of the car quickly and reported them to the police.
