【语篇导读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。文章叙述了农场上的一棵榆树，树皮上被磨出了一道很深的印痕，后来路两旁的树都由于一种病而死去，而这棵榆树却幸存下来的故事。作者意在告知我们：我们自己所受的伤会使我们获得生存所需的东西，会使我们更加坚强。
1．A.hollow B．leafless
C．young D．magnificent
解析 考查上下文示意。结合前面的“It was planted in the first half of the 20th century on a farm.”和下文内容可知这棵树很早以前就被种下了，所以应当已经长成了一棵很大的树。hollow“空心的”；leafless“无叶的”；young“幼小的”。
答案 D
2．A.chained B．fixed
C．attached D．joined
解析 考查语境中动词的辨析。从后面的“dragging a heavy iron chain with it”可知，此处是指用一条链子把牛拴在了树上。fix“固定”，指把某物固定在某个地方，使其不能移动。attach“把……固定”，指把局部连接在整体上，小的接在大的上面，活动的接在固定的上面。join侧重把原来不相连的物体连接在一起，但仍可再分开，也指把分散的人或几个部分的人联合起来或加入到某团体中。chain是指用锁链拴住，与语境相符。故选A。
答案 A
3．A.scratched B．filled
C．scraped D．dug
解析 考查语境中动词的辨析。链子在树皮上刮出了一条沟。scratch“抓，搔”；fill“填上”；dig“挖”；scrape“刮掉，擦坏”。由此可知答案为C。
答案 C
4．A.deepened B．disappeared
C．lengthened D．shortened
解析 考查上下文示意。结合后面的“over the years，though for whatever reason，which did not kill the tree”可知，随着时间的推移，铁链把树皮上的沟磨得越来越深。disappear“消逝”；lengthen“变长”；shorten“变短”。
答案 A
5．A.house B．bull
C．elm D．farm
解析 考查上下文照应。从其次段的“The family that owned the farm...”以及下文内容可知此处是指这家人卖了农场，所以选D。
答案 D
6．A.branch B．bark
C．root D．stem
解析 考查上下文示意。经过很多年，树皮把生锈的铁链给遮掩住了。branch“树枝”；root“树根”；stem“(树木的)干”。
答案 B
7．A.pollution B．disease
C．flood D．draught
解析 考查上下文示意。从后面的“It left a path of death across vast areas.All of the elms __8__ the road became infected and died.”可知此处应是指一种疾病，由于很多榆树都患了这种病，继而死了。
答案 B
8．A.lining B．surrounding
C．enclosing D．bordering
解析 考查语境中动词的辨析。全部伫立在路两旁的树都受到了疾病的侵袭而死亡了，所以选A。surround“环绕”；enclose“把……围起来”；border“与……接壤，毗邻，”多指国与国之间或两地区的分界。
答案 A
9．A.prayed B．hoped
C．wished D．figured
解析 考查语境中动词的辨析。由于其他的树都死了，所以人们都认为下一个死亡的很可能是那棵大榆树。pray“祈祷”；hope“期望”；wish“期望”；figure“认为，认定”。故选D。
答案 D
10．A.important B．funny
C．safe D．great
解析 考查语境中形容词的辨析。从后面的“cutting it down and chopping it up into firewood before it __11__ ”可知，农场现在的仆人想把这棵树砍掉，不让其染上疾病，这是在做一件保险的事情。important“重要的”；funny“可笑的”；great“宏大的”。
答案 C
11．A.dried B．died
C．bent D．leaned
解析 考查上下文示意。由于人们都认为这棵树可能会受到疾病的侵袭而死去，所以这个仆人打算在它死前把它砍倒。dry“干燥”，bend“弯曲”，lean“倾斜”。
答案 B
12．A.death B．fate
C．fortune D．nature
解析 考查上下文示意。依据前面的“It was as if the old tree had become a family friend.”可知，由于这棵树和这个仆人一家在一起生活的时间长了，几乎成为伴侣了。所以他不忍心砍倒它，而是任其进展。let nature take its course表示“顺其自然”。
答案 D
13．A.Amazingly B．Unfortunately
C．Evidently D．Stubbornly
解析 考查语境中副词的辨析。从后面的“the tree did not die”可知这棵树没有死，与原来人们的猜想相反，因此人们很惊异。unfortunately“不幸地”；evidently“明显地”；stubbornly“固执地”。
答案 A
14．A.rotted B．cracked
C．thrived D．lay
解析 考查上下文示意。上下文内容示意出这棵树不但没有死，而且长得很茂密。
答案 C
15．A.cut B．observe
C．climb D．uproot
解析 考查上下文示意。结合后面的“They observed the scar left by the iron chain”可知科学家们来观看这棵树，想找出它没有死反而很健壮的缘由。
答案 B
16．A.exposed B．combined
C．sheltered D．covered
解析 考查上下文示意。从前面的“the 6(bark) slowly covered the rusting chain”可知树皮把生锈的铁链遮住了，所以选D。
答案 D
17．A.saved B．destroyed
C．changed D．claimed
解析 考查语境规律。科学家们认为是铁链救了这棵树的命。destroy“摧毁”；change“转变”；claim“夺走，夺去(生命)”。save“挽救”符合语境。
答案 A
18．A.contained B．smelted
C．absorbed D．produced
解析 考查语境中动词的辨析。科学家们推断这棵树吸取了很多的铁元素。contain“包含”；smelt“熔炼”；produce“生产”，均不符合语境。
答案 C
19．A.sensitive B．flexible
C．immune D．innocent
解析 考查语境中形容词的辨析。由于树吸取了很多的铁元素，所以它获得了免疫力量，能够抵挡真菌的攻击。sensitive“敏感的”；flexible“机敏的”；innocent“无辜的”。
答案 C
20．A.wounds B．regrets
C．sorrows D．failures
解析 考查上下文示意。从前面的“Look at the wound made by the chain.”可知此处是指伤口。regret“懊悔”；sorrow“哀痛”；failure“失败”，均不符合语境。
答案 A
