答案 A [考查非谓语动词作结果状语。句意：心脏停止跳动后，杰克逊被宣布死亡，标志着这位世界顶级音乐天王的悲剧结局。由句意可知，此处表示顺理成章的结果，因此用动词的-ing形式。]

5．Maybe you have been to many famous restaurants, but nowhere else________on such nice ducks.

9．________of children in our class have brown eyes; only three have blue eyes. A．None C．The majority

B．The most D．Every

答案 C [the majority of＋名词意为“……的大多数”。句意：我们班大多数孩子是棕色眼睛，只有三个是蓝眼睛。most当“大多数”讲时，通常无冠词，of后的名词一般有限定词。]

10．Their________grief turned to crazy laughter in a minute. A．apparent C．stable

B．crazy D．invaluable

答案 A [apparent表示“显然的，外观上的”。句意：他们那假意的哀伤很快就变成了一阵阵狂笑。crazy“疯狂的；狂热的”；stable“稳定的”；invaluable“无价的”。]

答案 D [句型“sb./sth. is said to＋不定式”，当不定式动作表示完成时，不定式需用完成式，因此选D。]

14．Every body should have the awareness that even the most sharp eye may be________on certain occasions.

A．brought in C．called in

B．taken in D．set in

答案 B [考查短语。句意：我们每个人都应该知道即使最敏锐的眼睛也可能被蒙骗。take in在此意思是“欺骗”。]

15．This is the only means that I can think of，_____we can succeed in finding out the truth. A．in which C．that

B．by which D．which

答案 B [考查“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句。先行词是means，多与by连用，所以选B项。] II.完形填空
