【答案】

1．know    2．herself    3．lonely    4．pets##animals    5．special##good##perfect    6．whether##if    7．for    8．a    9．speak    10．bought

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Sally给母亲买生日礼物的故事。Sally为了让母亲不孤单，花了5000美元给母亲买了一只会说七种语言的鹦鹉，结果寄到母亲那后被她杀掉吃了。

1．句意：但她不知道买什么。分析句子结构，don’t后缺少动词作谓语，由句意可知指不知道买什么。故填know。

2．句意：她心里想:“我妈妈一个人住。她……需要一只宠物。”think to oneself心想，是固定短语，由she可知用herself。故填herself。

3．句意：她心里想:“我妈妈一个人住。她一定很孤独，需要一只宠物。”根据上文“My mother lives alone”，妈妈一个人住应该会感到孤独，故填lonely。

4．句意：Sally走进商店，看见许多很棒的小动物。根据前文“she saw a pet store on the left side of the road”，可知进店后看见了一些动物或宠物。故填pets/animals。

5．句意：但是她认为这些不够特别。根据下文问经理的话“he had a pet that was really special”，结合后文她夸赞会说话的鹦鹉“perfect”，可知她认为这些宠物不够特别（好或完美）。故填special##good##perfect。

6．句意：她问经理他是否有一只特别的宠物。由上下文语境可知，Sally认为这些宠物还不够好，就问是不是有特别点的宠物。故填whether/if。

7．句意：经理想了一会儿，回答说:“是的……5000美元。”根据题干“The manager thought…a moment”，时间段前用介词for，可知是想了一会儿。故填for。

8．句意：经理想了一会儿，回答说:“是的，但它需要很多钱，5000美元。”a lot of许多的，固定短语。故填a。

9．句意：经理补充说:“我有一只鹦鹉，它会说七种语言——汉语、英语、法语、韩语、德语、俄语，甚至印度语!”根据下文“Chinese, English, French, Korean, German, Russian and even Hindi”可知，此处是说鹦鹉会说七种语言，需用speak。情态动词can后接原形动词，故填speak。

10．句意：“完美！”莎莉说，并买了那只鸟。根据下文“She mailed it by special delivery to her mother”，可知Sally买了它；and连接并列结构，前面said是过去式，可知这里也用buy的过去式，故填bought。

【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了秘鲁著名的云中之城马丘比丘的历史和相关传说。

76．句意：从下面看，城市是隐蔽的。由系动词is可以判断出设空处是形容词，根据下文“did not know Machu Picchu, the City in the Clouds, was there”，可知此城镇是藏在森林中的。结合首字母提示，hidden“隐藏的”符合语境，故填(h)idden。

77．句意：在将近450年的时间里，世人都不知道马丘比丘这个云中之城的存在。句子缺主语，所以推断是名词或代词；因为之前从未有人知道，所以“全世界”都不知道这个城镇的存在。故填(w)orld。

78．句意：博尔达告诉宾汉姆，在他农场附近的山上，有一些古老的建筑被森林覆盖着。some一些，修饰复数名词或不可数名词；根据下文“the ruins of the city”可以猜测出城市的废墟就是建筑。结合首字母提示，building“建筑物”符合语境，故填(b)uildings。

79．句意：宾汉姆爬上山脊，出乎他的意料，那里是一座失落的城市的废墟。to his surprise是插入语，不影响句子结构，可以直接忽略，那么不难看出接下来的句子是一个there be句型。故填(t)here。

80．句意：宾汉姆回到美国，把云里之城的故事告诉了其他人。分析句子可知，动词tell后缺宾语，所以此空应该是名词或代词；根据下文“Yale University and the National Geographic Society gave him money to return to Peru and remove the trees from the ruins”可以看出耶鲁大学对这些废墟很感兴趣，可知宾汉姆告诉了别人。结合首字母提示，故填(o)thers。

81．句意：印加人在南美洲统治着一个强大的帝国，直到16世纪被西班牙人征服。空处前后都是句子，可知此空为连词；根据题干“The Inca ruled a powerful empire in South America until the Spanish conquered then in the sixteenth century”，可知是时间状语从句；结合首字母提示，故填(u)ntil。

82．句意：然而，这个伟大的印加城市的人们似乎已经消失了。分析句子可知，have后应该是 done 或者宾语，但后文的两种猜想都是人口消亡的原因，可知此空应填“消失”的意思。结合首字母提示，故填(d)isappeared。

83．句意：一种说法是马丘比丘人死于一种突然而严重的疾病。and表并列，连接的两个词词性需一致，结合and serious可推测空处是形容词，且这个词可以修饰 disease“疾病”；结合首字母提示，sudden“突然的”符合语境，故填(s)udden。

84．句意：另一种说法是，来自亚马逊丛林的一群名叫安提斯的人袭击并杀害了这座城市的居民。分析句子可知，“…the Amazon jungle”作后置定语修饰前面的Antis，又是地域的关系，不难推测应该是“来自亚马逊丛林的人”。 故填(f)rom。

85．句意：每天都有成千上万的游客前来参观。原句完整，多出的成分放在句尾，应该是做状语，需用副词；根据下文“too many tourists”，可以看出来访的人很多，所以应该是“每天”都有很多人，故填(d)aily。
