答案：D;B;A;C;B;B;A;D;C;C
解析：

　　答案：1．D;2．B;3．A;4．C;5．B;6．B;7．A;8．D;9．C;10．C

　　【解析】1．one在此指代河馬(hippopotamus)，不確定的任何一個河馬。2．close down意思是“倒閉”，come down“下來”，turn down(電器的聲音)調小、關小一點；fall down“摔倒”。因此，close down的意思在課本中雖然沒有，根據(jù)排除法，在此就是最佳的。3．教科書上曾出現(xiàn)過一個類似用法。Sheep are kept by the farmers for producing wool and meat．這里的keep意思是“飼養(yǎng)、喂養(yǎng)”之意。4．這種選擇實際上是句型和句意的選擇。let sb. free在此的意思是“把某人/某物放出來”，在此即是把河馬放生，回歸自然之意。本句結構是被動語態(tài)，賓語(A hippopotamus)已被提到句首作主語了，便形成了let free的結構。5．河馬的身軀龐大，僅用一個小小的tub來“裝”河馬，本來就是一種諷刺，根本就談不上水深的問題。因此，large就成為唯一的選擇了。6．not anything but實際上就是nothing but的轉換，而nothing but在初中英語課本中沒有出現(xiàn)過！但是平時的練習中有所出現(xiàn)。雖然部分考生做出來了，可都以為but是一個連詞！其實不然。but在此是一個介詞！意思是“除……之外”，相當于except。nothing but＝only。7．河馬這么龐大的動物除了動物園(zoo)，誰還會去養(yǎng)呢？8．本句是指一種假定的條件�！叭绻⒆觽冎懒诉@件事，……”；講的是孩子們目前還不知道，因此though便不能用了。even是副詞，而此卻是需要連詞。9．既然是寫出文章，要發(fā)表的地方(newspaper)便是最佳選擇了！這一點從后面的孩子們紛紛進行捐款中可得知。10．這是一個難點。很多考生選擇了A(answered)，他們以為孩子們都響應了Tex在報紙上的號召，積極進行募捐。實際上，孩子們所進行的募捐是回應Tex的號召，并不是回答Tex的問題！選用did就是說，孩子們按照Tex所說的去做了！考的是考生對詞的理解和運用。
