答案與解析：

1.【答案】C

【解析】此句表示其中一些關于死亡的書中寫滿了相關的翔實信息，A 、B 兩項均為包括之意，不與with 連用。D 項有“充滿的”意思，并可以with 連用，但意為“胡亂丟滿、亂七八糟的”，用在此處不正確。C 項Packed 意為“擁擠、塞滿、充滿的”，感情色彩也與原文相符，表示書中充斥著關于… … 的內(nèi)容。

2.【答案】B

【解析】文中需要的是連接詞，exotic 的含義比extraordinary 更進一步，句意為“適當?shù)乃婪ㄒ讶怀闪艘环N特別的、甚至是奇異的經(jīng)歷”。這種情況不必多想，B 為最合適的選項。A 項為并列關系，C 、D 項表示轉(zhuǎn)折，而非遞進。

3.【答案】B

【解析】從本句“書中內(nèi)容會讓你覺得我們是唯一有死亡意識的… … ”和下句中的“自然界中的其他生命經(jīng)歷著生命的周期和死亡”，可以推測出空格處所指的是生物，而不是種族、人們、人類，故選B。

4.【答案】B

【解析】本句的意思是“自然界中的其他生命(除我們以外的)一代又一代”，是考形容詞代詞的用法。the other指兩個人或物中的一個。所以選another 。

5.【答案】A

【解析】句意為“我家后院的榆樹今年夏天染上了枯萎病”, catch 作及物動詞，有“染上疾病”的意思。B 項意為“持有，抓住”, C 項意為“(疾病)突然侵襲”，用在疾病的后面，如the blight took our elm 。D 項意為“采集，挑選”。故選A 。

6.【答案】C

【解析】本句意為“或許出現(xiàn)些斑點，但… … 讓人擔憂，而且外表看來一切正常”，所以出現(xiàn)的問題不嚴重，不會讓人不安，所以選C。

7.【答案】D

【解析】 singing ，表示伴隨動作，現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。

8.【答案】D

【解析】 a field mouse 為dying 的定語，根據(jù)下文可以得出句意為“一只田鼠的死”，中間的插人語表示它是如何死掉的。

9.【答案】C

【解析】四個選項中只有C 是正確用法，田鼠的死曾讓我感到害怕。若選A 項，it was to make me wince 意為“田鼠的死是(計劃好)用于讓我害怕、畏縮的”。若選B 項，句子意為“田鼠之死習慣了讓我害怕”。若選C 項，句子意為“以前田鼠的這種死法常讓我感到害怕”。D 項指此事即將讓我害怕。

10.【答案】B

【解析】根據(jù)上下文判斷，“但是我老早就不再向叼著田鼠的貓扔棍子，讓它把田鼠放下”，這樣做的原因就在下一句：因為被放下的老鼠通常還是會死掉。
