Answer 1

分析 本文講述了Mrs．Trench 回家時發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個陌生人在她家里，坐在沙發(fā)上睡著了，她立刻意識到是小偷從開著的窗戶里爬進來了．Mrs．Trench 立刻去了警察局，帶了兩名警察回來，遺憾的是陌生人已經離開了，Mrs．Trench 跑上樓，打開梳妝臺，當她發(fā)現(xiàn)小偷拿走的只是一個不值錢的人造鉆石時，她欣慰的笑了．

解答 74．neigher；考查連詞，neither…nor…指"兩者都不"；本句指她和她丈夫都不抽煙．
75．asleep；  分析上下文句意可知此處是指"對方是在椅子上睡著了"，故答案為asleep．
76．what；考查賓語從句，分析句子結構可知此處是一個賓語從句，從句缺少主語，故用疑問代詞what作賓語從句的主語．
77．must；考查情態(tài)動詞，結合上下文分析這是對過去情況的推測，must have done表示"過去一定做了某事"．
78．through；考查介詞，結合上文分析，此處意為"通過一扇打開的窗戶"，through指穿過，通過．
79．in；考查介詞，結合上下文分析此處用in，指"在…里面"．
80．hurrying；考查分詞做狀語，因為動詞hurry與主語she構成主動關系，所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作主語．
81．with；考查介詞，此處介詞with表示原因，意為"她欣慰地笑了"．
82．which；考查定語從句，關系代詞 which指代diamond necklace在從句中做主語．
83．worthless；考查形容詞，結合上下文分析，此處說明他拿走的是假的寶石項鏈，那是不值錢的，故用形容詞worthless．

點評 答題時注意句子中人稱和數是否一致，時態(tài)是否一致．各種詞性之間的區(qū)別以及一些常用句型，固定短語的應用．平時應注重積累基礎知識，熟記一些句型及慣用結構．解題前先細讀短文，完成以后再閱讀短文檢查是否語意通順，符合邏輯．
