题号 答案 考察内容解题依据 解题分析
1 A 语法规则 从句子结构可以看出，这里应该填的是复合形容词，而复合形容词的中间应有短横连接，因此B和D先可以排除掉；另外，复合形容词中的名词不用复数形式(如教科书中曾出现过的ten-speed bicycle)，因此舍C而取A(two-storeyed)。
2 C 常识运用前后照应 应为evening(指从日落到就寝时的这段时间)，再则后面有this evening，可见未至深夜(night)，而且凌晨一点钟也不合题意。o'clock指具体时间，前而该用at；one time不妥，该用once才对。
3 B 常识运用词义比较 C不合理，因为人不能在窗户里(inside)，另外，既然大家都在室内，在窗户后(behind)也不可能。towards-般是动态意义，通常与运动动词连用，在这儿不合适。剩下的只有面对着(opposite)窗户了，再看后文，只有父亲对窗而坐才能看到窗外的大猩猩。
4 D 词义辨析 这四个词都表示感知，但意义和用法均有区别。know是指对一个事实或人的了解，learn是指获悉、闻知某项消息，feel则指通过触摸而有的生理或心理的感觉， notice通常指通过视觉的有意或无意地注意到、察觉到某种情况。Kate突然察觉到父亲的脸色变白了。
5 A 逻辑推理词义比较 与后句联系起来。Kate仍然坐着没有动(still)，他没有不快(unhappily)、悲伤(sadly)或孤独(lonely)的感觉。
6 B 逻辑推理词义比较 Kate不可能失去(l0se)、也不会烦恼(trouble) 或伤害其妹妹，而是怕吓坏(frighten)了她而坐着不动。
7 C 逻辑推理 父亲和Kate一样，不会大声(loud)地、痛苦(sad)地、也没有闲情(pleasant)地说，而是强装镇静自若(calm)故意扯谎地说有一位"朋友"来访。其实是有一头大猩猩来犯，以免孩子们惊慌害怕。
8 D 语法规则 这是这篇完形填空25个小题中唯一的一道语法题目。从时间上看，this evening，动作显然还未发生，因此该用表示将来的时态。A过去时不对，B现在时也不对，C是过去将来时，这儿既非间接引语，自然也不对，只有D是现在进行时，但可以表示预定的或即将发生的动作，come，go，leave这类动词通常用进行时表示将要发生的动作。
9 B 逻辑推理 与后句文意一致，父亲要孩子们上楼回到自己的房间去而早点
