完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Two friends visited the zoo together. The zoo was very large and it was 3 6 to go everywhere. They had to decide where and which animal to visit as their time was 3 7. So both of them agreed not to 3 8 after choosing a 3 9 at every fork (岔路口). A road sign at the first fork 4 0 one way to the lion quarters and the other to the tiger hill. They decided on the 4 1 after a 4 2 discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”. The second showed a division (路口) going separately to the panda and peacock. They 43 panda as it was the nation’s treasure and went its way. Thus they made choices all along the way and each choice meant 44 what they couldn’t help regretting. But they had to make it, and 45 , for it brooked(容忍) no delay. If they hesitated (犹豫不决) they would miss 46 . Only 47 decision could offer more chances for sightseeing and 48 possible regret. Life is 49 like this—choices often occur that one has to make, for example, between two 50 jobs, two fascinating wooers(追求者). To get one you 51 give up the other——you can get half of it. If you 52 weighing the pros and cons and calculating gains and losses, you will most likely 53 empty-handedness. Don’t be sad about it. 54 you have got half of the desirable things in life——something that is 55 to come by.

(答案→)C 解析：本文讲述的是两个朋友到动物园里看动物的所遇见的事情。【小题1】C 句意分析。动物园非常大，而他们的时间又是有限的，所以每个地方都去是不可能的。【小题2】B 形容词辨析。一个时间紧，一个地方大。这是他们要有选择地去看的两个原因。【小题3】A 动词辨析。return“原路返回，折回”。在岔路口如果不计划好，很可能会从原路折回再到另一处，这样就大大浪费了时间。【小题4】 B 名词辨析。branch “分枝，（河流、道路、线路等）分岔”。既然在岔路口就不再是main road （大道），crossing（十字路口），highway（公路，高速公路）。【小题5】As动词辨析。how“指示，告示，指出”，如：The clock shows half past two.时钟的针指着两点半；point加上out可以表达“指出”之意；intend“打算，意欲”。【小题6】A 形容词辨析。A前者的B后来C最后D第三个；经过讨论他们决定用前者。【小题7】和discussion搭配可用brief,意为“简短的讨论”；long discussion“长时间的讨论”，用brief最恰当。【小题8】C 动词辨析A希望；B想要；C偏爱；D得到；他们偏爱熊猫，因为它是国宝。favor意为“偏爱”。【小题9】D在他们所作的决定中，每一个选择都意味着要放弃某些东西，而放弃这些，往往令人禁不住感到遗憾。give up“放弃，舍弃”。另外三个词均含有“得到，抓住”之意，和give up意思相反。【小题10】B根据本句后半部分可知“不容许耽搁”。slowly“缓慢地”；timely“及时地”，强调“适当的时间”；easily“容易地”。【小题11】B 犹豫不决、优柔寡断只能耽误更多的时间，错过更多的景致。【小题12】D只有快速地作出决定才能提供更多观光的机会，从而减少可能的遗憾。【小题13】C 动词辨析：reduce“减少”；increase“增加”；raise“提高”；cause“引起”。提高可能的遗憾和后悔【小题14】B more or less“大致，大约”。上面这个故事所说明的道理借用到生活上，大致也是如此。just exactly“恰好，精确地”；hardly“几乎不”，与文意不符；most是代词或形容词“大部分”。【小题15】D 这几个是生活中的例子，和上面的故事相似。说明一个道理：鱼和熊掌不能兼得。desirable“非常想做的，令人满意的”。前两项应排除。reject“拒绝的，拒收的”；enjoyable“令人愉快的”。这个词的意义没有desirable那么强，那么令人难以割舍。【小题16】D have to “不得不”，因客观原因，主观无能为力。must“必须”，强调主观认为有必要。wish,want表示主观的愿望。【小题17】A此处表示如果犹豫不决，患得患失，权衡利弊，那么就可能一无所获，两手空空。spend time doing“花时间做某事”；kill time“消磨时间，打发日子”；have a hard time“过得很艰难”；hope for“希望得到”。【小题18】D end up in“以某事而作为结局”；start with“以……开始”；get up“起床，起身”；succeed in“成功地做某事”。 【小题19】D：at last “至少”。by no means,not in the least意思均是“一点也不”；at most“至多”。文章的最后以幽默的语调结尾：“不要难过，至少你能得到生活中最想要的东西的一半——最难得到的东西。”【小题20】C hard=difficult。短语动词come by的意思是为“得到”，相当于get。
