参考答案及解析
1—5 ABDDC 6—10 CBDCA 11—15 BCADC 16—20 DADBC
1．选A。分析句子结构可知，后面是一个非限制性定语从句，关系代词应用which。
2．选B。从下文可知，下一个小镇应在“山”的那一边。
3．选D。天已经很迟了，还出发朝下一个小镇赶，这说明他们“坚信”在那儿能找到住宿的地方。
4．选D。for the night“过夜”，for表示“为了”。
5．选C。在一个漆黑的夜晚，在那弯曲狭窄的路上，应该说行车是不走运的，但途中未遇一个行人，就这一点来说还算“幸运”。
6．选C。lead to 意思为“通向”。
7．选B。从下文可知，他们的车子是逐渐向山上爬行的，当油用完时，车子已接近山顶。以致John后来散步时不知不觉中就到了山顶。
8．选D。从词的用法角度可知要用making。
9．选C。由于看不清路面，所以让同伴开慢些。
10．选A。依据常识可知，城镇是“标”在地图上的。
11．选B。开了二十里，仍不见小镇，不免开始“忧虑”起来。
12．选C。简单“检查”发现油没了，另三项表述不清。
13．选A。 spend the night意为“度过夜晚”。
14．选D。填转折连词but。
15．选C。从got out of the car看，John不是一个容易睡着的人。
16．选D。从From the top of the hill可推知，他从车里出来以后是向山顶上走的。
17．选A。根据常识判断。
18．选D。ought to （应该）不合语境，succeed后不接to do故应排除，manage和try均表示“设法”，但有细微差别，前者表示设法做成了某事，后者则不一定成功。故本题答案应为D。
19．选B。 “在不到一刻钟时间内我们就到了镇上”。
20．选C。从第二段后句子可以推知，他们赶赴那个小镇的目的是为了住宿，所以在到达目的地后很快找到的应是旅馆（hotel）。
