二、完形填空。（难度：★★★★★）
Once a neighbour stole one of Washington’s horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbour’s farm 1 the horse. 2 the neighbour refused to give the horse 3. He claimed that it was his horse. Washington was very angry and decided to teach him a lesson. He placed both of his hands 4 the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbour, “If this is your horse, then you must tell us 5 which eye he is blind.”
“In the right eye,” the neighbour said.
Washington took his hand from the right eye of the horse and showed the police officer that the horse was not blind in the 6 eye.
“Oh, I have made 7 mistake,” said the neighbour. “He is blind in the left eye.”
Washington then showed that the horse was not blind in the left eye 8.
“I have made 9 mistake,” said the neighbour.
“Yes,” said the police officer, “and you have also proved that the horse does not belong to 10. You must return it to Mr Washington.”

1.A 解析:根据句意可知，华盛顿和一个警察去邻居的农场取回自己的马，此处用不定式表目的。故选A。
2.C 解析:and表示顺承关系;so表示因果关系(so后是结果);but表示转折关系;for表示因果关系(for后是原因)。华盛顿与一名警察去了邻居家的农场，邻居却拒绝交出马，空格前后是转折关系。故选C。
3.C 解析:give in意为“投降，屈服”;give out意为“发出(气味、热等)”;give up意为“放弃，把……给……”;give over意为“停止”。根据语境判断此处意为“但是邻居拒绝把马交出来。”,用give up最合适。故选C。
4.B 解析:华盛顿把两只手放在了马的眼睛上，over在此处表示“覆盖在……之上”，其余选项均不符合语境。故选B。
5.D 解析:句意:如果这是你的马，你必须告诉我们他哪只眼睛失明了。表示哪只眼睛失明应用介词in,后文中“In the right eye”也有提示。故选D。
6.A 解析:本句是说华盛顿拿开捂住马的右眼的手证明给警察看马的右眼没有失明，其余选项不符合语境。故选A。
7.A 解析:“犯错误”用make a mistake或make mistakes表示，此处mistake用的是单数形式,所以前面加不定冠词a。故选A。
8.C 解析:too意为“也”,用在肯定句句末;also意为“也”,用在肯定句句中;either意为“也”，用在否定句句末;neither意为“也不”。根据设空处在句中的位置可知用either。故选C。
9.C 解析:other意为“其他的”;the other意为“两者中的另一个”;another意为“又一,再一”;others 意为“别的人或物”。根据上下文可知，此处是邻居说“我又犯了一个错误”，所以用made another mistake。故选C。
10.B 解析:your意为“你的，你们的”;you意为“你，你们”;him意为“他”;his意为“他的”。警察的意思是邻居的所作所为也证明了马不是邻居的，belong to sb.意为“属于某人”，sb.应用人称代词宾格。故选B。
