Answer 1

分析 瑞安和凯丽过去常常很健忘．比如，凯丽会忘记做晚饭，或者瑞安以为周日是周一而去上班．一个夏天他们去旅行．你知道发生了什么吗？好吧，他们到达机场时，只剩十分钟了．所以时间很短．在那种情形下，任何人都会马上登飞机．但是瑞安和凯丽不是．他们先必须去买一些航班保险．毕竟，谁知道飞机上会发生什么？他们快速把硬币投入机器里，保险单出来了．凯丽问道："如果我们死了，谁会继承我们的钱呢？"她丈夫回答道："当然是我母亲．"瑞安说道："我们把这个保险单寄给她．现在快点，给我一张邮票，好吗？飞机还有几分钟就要起飞了．"瑞安把邮票贴在信封上，放进了邮箱，突然他大叫起来．你知道发生了什么事情吗？他把飞机票寄给了他的母亲．

解答 26．B．动词词义辨析．A是记住，B是忘记，C是尝试，D是爱．根据Ryan and Kelly used to be forgetful．可知瑞安和凯丽很健忘，所以凯丽有时会忘记做晚饭．forget to do sth．表示忘记做某事．
27．A．动词固定搭配．根据句意可知一个夏天瑞安和凯丽去旅行，take a trip表示去旅行，故选择A．
28．D．名词词义辨析．A是房子，B是车站，C是火车站，D是机场．根据In that situation anyone would get on the plane right away．可知他们去了机场，故选择D．
29．C．形容词词义辨析．A是足够的，B是长的，C是短的，D是许多的．根据…with only ten minutes left．可知他们到机场时只剩十分钟了，所以时间是很短的，故选择C．
30．C．连词词义辨析．A是和，B是所以，C是转折，D是或者、否则．根据In that situation anyone would get on the plane right away…They just had to buy some flight insurance first．可知在时间紧急的情况下任何人都会马上登飞机，但是瑞安和凯丽先去买航班保险，句子前后是转折关系，故选择C．
31．A．动词词义辨析．A是知道，B是相信，C是认为，D是告诉．根据文中可知他们之所以先去买保险是因为没人会知道在飞机上会发生什么，故选择A．
32．D．名词词义辨析．A是航班，B是票，C是邮票，D是钱．根据文中可知凯丽问道如果他们死了，谁会继承他们的钱呢，故选择D．
33．B．动词短语辨析．take away是带走，take off是脱掉、起飞，take out是拿出，take down是记下、写下．根据文中"Now quick，give me a stamp，will you？"he said．"可知瑞安让凯丽快点给他一张邮票，是因为飞机还有几分就要起飞了，故选择B．
34．B．名词词义辨析．A是机器，B是信封，C是飞机，D是座位．根据文中可知瑞安要把保险单寄给母亲，邮票肯定要贴在信封上，故选择B．
35．A．动词词义辨析．A是邮寄，B是拿，C是放，D是做．根据 suddenly let out a cry．可知瑞安之所以大叫是因为他错把机票寄给了母亲，故选择A．
