【答案与解析】

21. D。比较四个选项的意思，只有选项D最符合上文的语境。D的意思是：“真有那么糟吗？”

22. B。因空格后接的不是句子，而是动词make，故可排除C和D。such as to do sth为英语固定句式，其意为“到……的地步”“如此……以至于”，又如：The pain in her foot wasn’t such as to stop her walking. 她脚疼，但还不至于不能行走。

23. C。按英语语法，当主语和宾语指同一个人或事物时，宾语必须要用反身代词，不能用宾格代词。heal oneself在此指“自愈”。

24. B。由于动词mention后接动词作宾语时，习惯上要用动名词，不用不定式，故可排除A和D；再根据句意可知，句中的he与promote之间为被动关系，故要用被动式，故选B。

25. C。take…as…为惯用搭配，意为“把……看作……”。如：You can take this as absolute gospel. 你应该相信这是千真万确的。/ She took what he said as a compliment. 她把他的话看作是恭维话。

26. D。根据语法规则可知A和C不对，因为need和can用作情态动词时通常只用于否定句或疑问句，不用于肯定句；再根据句意，选D最佳。句意为：真是遗憾！考虑到他的能力和经验，他本来可以做得更好的。

27. A。问句的意思是：我们出去散散步好吗？由于其中没有指明具体的时间，根据语境，它暗示的应该是“现在”。所以，答语中的this一词指的应该是时间，而不是地点、机会或情况等。故答案选A。

28. C。由于time与allow之间为被动关系，故要用过去分词。in the time allowed意为“在规定的时间内”。

29. A。give away有三个主要用法：一是表示“分发，送人，赠送”。如：He gave away all his money to the poor. 他把所有的钱都给了穷人。二是表示“背弃，出卖”。如：I know you didn’t want to give your friend away. 我知道你不想出卖朋友。三是表示“泄漏，暴露”。如：He gave away the secret through carelessness. 他一时大意，泄露了秘密。

30. B。两个均填定冠词，表示说话和听话双方都知道的情况。

31. C。根据英语语法习惯，当“only+状语”置于句首时，其后句子要用部分倒装，可排除A和D。再比较“火势得到控制”和“居民被允许回到家”这两个动作的先后关系，可排除B，因为根据情理，应该是先控制火势，然后居民才能回家。

32. A。根据句中的up till now可知，第一空应填现在完成时，故可排除B和C；run out的意思是“(时间)流逝”，为不及物动词，以时间名词作主语时，没有被动语态，故可排除D。

33. D。It’s typical of sb to do sth为英语惯用句式，表示做某事是某人的固有特征或某人一向做某事，如：It’s typical of him to want to help. 他一向都愿意帮助人。It is typical of you to forget my birthday! 你管保把我的生日给忘了!

34. D。in that在此表示原因，其意为“由于”“因为”，句意为：动物遭受了来自人类的苦难，因为人们为了给更多的人提供食物需要开垦农业用地，从而毁了不少动物。又如：Man is superior to the animals in that he uses language to convey his thoughts. 人高于动物是因为人能用语言表达思想。

35. A。where在此引导定语从句，其先行词为cases。在一般情况，定语从句应紧跟在先行词之后，其间不能插入其他成分，但在本题中，定语从句与先行词被分开分，若不注意到这一点，此题很容易做错。句意为：在本章的后面部分，我们将为读者介绍一些事例，说明消费者的投诉已经使法律作出了修改。
