　　名师点评

　　这篇完型填空讲述了身为边防检查员的彼得明知一个工厂工人在走私货物却无法抓住对方的把柄。在退休的前一天，彼得恳请其说出真相，结果令彼得恍然大悟。

　　答案简析

　　1．D。根据下文这个工人越过边界后，走下山坡，所以到达边界之前应在朝山上走。故选up。

　　2．C。这名工人是在推着一辆装有稻草的自行车，故选动词pushing。

　　3．D。这里表达的是到达边界之意arrive, come为不及物动词不可直接接 the frontier，故选reached。

　　4．C。ask与order后接不定式的复合结构时，动词前应有to, make后接不定式的复合结构时，动词前to要省去。根据下文应选make。

　　5．A。彼得想发现这个工人在走私什么，所以应仔细地检查。故选carefully。

　　6．D。这里根据文意，应选择表示是否之意的whether作宾语从句的引导词。

　　7．A。根据常理，彼得应先检查这个工人的口袋才能让他捆起稻草走人，故选before。

　　8．B．根据文意，彼得心中一直怀着查获走私物品的希望，故选hoping。

　　9．B。这里things和hide之间是被动关系,现在分词hiding作定语时表示主动，所以应用过去分词hidden作后置定语表被动。

　　10．D。本句中否定词never及文意决定了这里应选 anything。

　　11．B。四个选项从语法上讲都可以，只能从文意上进行区分，smuggling意为走私，是正确选项。

　　12．C。固定结构be able to do sth. 意为能够干某事。

　　13．A。习惯用语look through 意为彻底检查。

　　14．D。as usual为固定短语，意为象平常一样。

　　15．D。tell, order后面应直接接人作宾语表示告诉某人和命令某人，而用say应为say to sb. 故said为正确选项。

　　16．C．这里应选择一个介词构成介词短语在句中做状语。介词past 表经过； across 强调从一边到另一边；而into 表示进入到里面。 根据文意across应为正确选项。

　　17．C。on the job为一常用短语。意为执行公务。

　　18．C。因为今天是彼得最后一天上班说明明天他就要退休retire。

　　19．B。根据句中否定词not 及文意应选anyone。

　　20．D。本句说明这个工人回答彼得的问题之前沉默了一会儿。A选项应用a moment； C选项表示某一点时间； D选项表示一段时间或一会儿，为正确选项。
