解析：

讲了Frederick Douglass这个美国黑人的故事。 41. J. 根据第一段的意思“Frederick Douglass是美国在结束奴隶制度的战斗中逃跑出去的一个奴隶，他在美国内战以前的岁月里是起到了先声作用的人物”，所以，要选择leading。

42. A. . honour此处是“带来荣誉，为纪念?”的意思。

43. C. 根据上下文意思，Frederick Douglass在Cedar Hill的家当然就成了“historic:有历史意义的”site，所以选择historic。

44. I．根据前后文意思，知道“这盛有Frederick Douglass个人财产的两层楼的房子，经过了三年的重新修缮后才向世人开放”，所以，选择I。

45. E. 根据上下文意思，Frederick Douglass成为第一个拥有政府办公室的黑人“市民”，所以选择citizen。

46. D．当Frederick Douglass年轻的时候，他从来没有能够去学校接受教育，因为当时在美国南部黑人受教育是不合法的，所以，他只能“秘密地自学”，故选择secretly。

47. B．set up为固定短语，意思是“建立、建造、设立”。

48. G．根据前后文的语境，此处应填route, on the route是“在这一路线上，它成了最重要的站点”。

49. F．grant right是“授权”的意思。 方法提炼：

记叙文绝大部分篇章是作者在描述事件，通过语境，根据上下文辨析词语，作出选择。

One evening, a passer by asked to __23__ for the night. Seeing that he had an__24__. Face, she let him in and gave him a nice__25__. The next morning the stranger, actually a sorcerer(巫师), thanked her by rganting(允准) her __26__ that anyone who climbed up her tree__27__ not be able to come back down until she__28__ it.

When the children came back to steal her__29__ , she had them stuck on the tree. They had to beg her long__30__ she gave the tree permission to let __31__ go. A. unty Misery was form the

__32__ at last.

One day another man__33__ her door. This one did not look trustworthy to her, __34__ she asked who he was. I am Death. I?ve come to take you __35__ me.” Said he.

Thinking fast A. unty Misery said, “Fine, but I?d like to__36__ some pears from my dear tree to remember the __37__ it broutht to me in this life. But I am too__38__ to climb high go get the best fruit.

Will you be so __39__ as to do it for me?” with a deep sigh. Mr. Death climbed up the tree__40__ and was immediately stuck to it. No matter how much he warned or begged, A. unty Misery would not allow the tree to let Death go.

21. A. . hopeless B. painful C. dull D. crazy 22. A. . calling B. shouting C. announcing D. whispering

23. A. . stay B. live C. hide D. lie 24. A. . interesting B. honest C. anxious D. angry 25. A. . gift B. kiss C. treat D. smile 26. A. . suggestion B. demand C. permission D. wish 27. A. . could B. should C. might D. must 28. A. . permitted B. promised C. answered D. declared 29. A. . branch B. food C. tree D. fruit 30. A. . after B. while C. since D. before 31. A. . it B. them C. him D. her

32. A. . trick B. question C. trouble D. difficulty

33. A. . stepped into B. left for C. stopped at D. walked around 34. A. . so B. but C. although D. because 35. A. . with B. off C. upon D. for

36. A. . choose B. pick C. shake D. hit 37. A. . honor B. pleasure C. hope D. excitement 38. A. . light B. short C. old D. thin

39. A. . proud B. kind C. fine D. smart

40. A. . disappointedly B. cheerfully C. unwillingly D. eagerly 解析：

21. D ，从drove以及下文making fun of her. 可以看出，应该是使她很生气。Crazy“非常生气”又如：That noise is driving me crazy.

Hopeless是令人失望的，而不是失望的，如：Most of the students are making good progress but Jeremy seems a hopeless case,大多数学生进步都很快, 但杰里米却似乎无可救药。

painful“使疼痛的，令人烦恼的”，而不是“烦恼的”。如：It was painful to admit that I was wrong. ,dull, 令人厌烦的; 单调的，而不是“烦恼的”如：: The conference was deadly dull.

备考： 本题中：除A. 以外的三个词，都是“令人??，使人感到??”，很显然用于the woman是不合适的。

22. B . 从run away with pears看出，应该是大声的喊，shout，大声说出。Whisper是低声说。Call做喊叫讲不带表示内容的的宾语。A. nnounce，通知。

23. A. . 从one evening 以及下文的next morning可看出是请求过夜。stay for the night 过夜，固定搭配。

24. B. 从常识可知，留宿陌生人应该考虑他是否是诚实。从下文let him in 看出是允许进入。故选B. honest，与下文This one did not look trustworthy to her呼应。

25. C . 既然允许过夜，接下来最有可能的应该是招待。treat 招待，款待，其它选项不符合情理。

26. D .从下文that引导同位语从句的内容看，应该是她的一个很难实现的愿望。suggestion 建议d, emand 要求 permission 允许，均对题意不符。

27. B 考点：同位语从句

wish是先行词，同位语从句谓语动词用should + 动词原形，另外，could不能与be able to连用

28. A. 根据上下文，没有她的允许不得下来。

29. D 到树上当然是偷摘果实（梨）了。branch 树枝； food 食物； tree 树，均不符合题意。

30. D 长时间的请求后，老太太才让梨树放他们下来。Before，在??之前，才?? 31. B 当然是放偷梨的孩子走了。用them指代偷梨的孩子

32. C 这样的整治，孩子们当然不敢来了，老太太自然就没有这个麻烦了。 33. C 据上下文，有一个停在她家门前请求住宿。Stop at 在某处停下来。
