B)阅读短文，从短文后A至F六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Fried duck doesn’t taste as good as fried chicken
On the menus of fast-food restaurants, there always seem to be many fried chicken dishes. But have you wondered why there is no fried duck?
[A] 41
[B] Fried duck is not as cheap as chicken.
[C] Fried duck carries bad bacteria.
[D] Fried duck is not as delicious as fried chicken.
The right answer is [D]. Although chickens and ducks are both raised for meat, they have very different qualities.
42 Ducks live in places where there is a lot of water, making it easier for bacteria to grow. To protect themselves from the bacteria, ducks have special genes(基因). 43 While chickens’ meat usually has 6.7% fat(脂肪), duck meat has about 19.7%. 44 Also, as duck meat has thicker meat fibers(纤维) and less water, the frying process will make it taste very dry.
45 Near the tail, there is a part that makes oil to keep them warm. This oil smells like sheep meat and can be unpleasant when the duck is fried.
A. They also help ducks grow fat.
B. Fried duck is difficult to make.
C. Moreover, ducks have a special smell.
D. If fried, the duck meat can taste very oily.
E. Different from ducks, chickens can’t swim.
F. Fried duck is very popular among young people.

41. B 解析：根据空格前“But have you wondered why there is no fried duck?”可知，此处解释“没有炸鸭”的原因，因此此处[A]需作为干扰项，与[B]、[C]、[D]共同构成“为什么没有炸鸭”的可能猜测。选项B“炸鸭很难制作。”符合语境。故选B。
42. E 解析：根据空格后“Ducks live in places where there is a lot of water，making it easier for bacteria to grow.”可知，后文聚焦鸭子的生长环境（多水环境），此处需通过对比突出鸭子这一习性的特殊性。选项E“与鸭子不同，鸡不会游泳。”符合语境。故选E。
43. A 解析：根据空格前“… ducks have special genes.”和空格后“While chickens’ meat usually has 6.7% fat，duck meat has about 19.7%.”可知，前文提到鸭子有特殊基因抵御细菌，后文对比鸡鸭脂肪含量差异，此处需衔接基因与脂肪的关系。选项A“它们还帮助鸭子增长脂肪。”符合语境。故选A。
44. D 解析：根据空格前“… duck meat has about 19.7%.”和空格后“Also，as duck meat has thicker meat fibers and less water，the frying process will make it taste very dry.”可知，前文强调鸭肉高脂肪，后文提到油炸后肉质干，此处需说明高脂肪在油炸后的口感表现。选项D“如果油炸，鸭肉会尝起来很油腻。”符合语境。故选D。
45. C 解析：根据空格后“Near the tail，there is a part that makes oil to keep them warm. This oil smells like sheep meat and can be unpleasant when the duck is fried.”可知，后文具体描述鸭子尾部油脂的特殊气味及油炸后的不良感受，此处需总起“气味”这一话题。选项C“此外，鸭子有特殊的气味。”符合语境。故选C。

46. wet 解析：句意：昨天我回家路上突然下雨，所以我全身都湿了。根据“it suddenly began to rain”可知，突然下雨，所以“我”全身湿透，选项中“wet（湿的）”符合语境。故填wet。
47. offered 解析：句意：一辆车停在我旁边，司机摇下车窗，并递给我一把伞。根据“The driver put the window down”可知，司机主动递给“我”一把伞；“offered（提供）”，过去式，符合语境。故填offered。
48. stranger 解析：句意：“多么热心的陌生人啊！”我心想。根据“warm-hearted”可知，此处形容人，“stranger（陌生人）”符合语境；再由“a”可知，此空用单数。故填stranger。
49. ever since 解析：句意：我接过伞，然后那人开车离开了。从那以后我再也没见过他。设空处需填入时间状语，表示“从那时起至今”。“ever since（从那以后）”符合语境。故填ever since。
50. expecting 解析：句意：那人行善不图回报。我相信爱是无法被送出去的——它会回到你身边！设空处需填入动名词作介词“without”的宾语。“expecting（期待）”，expect anything in return“不图回报”。故填expecting。
51. to go 解析：句意：5G让人们能够使用高速互联网。make it possible for sb. to do sth.“使某人能够做某事”，是固定搭配，it作形式宾语，不定式作真正的宾语。故填to go。
52. to 解析：句意：5G的理想速度可达每秒10GB。up to“高达”，是固定搭配。故填to。
53. has covered 解析：句意：到目前为止，它已覆盖我国30多个地区。由“so far”可知，此处用现在完成时，其谓语动词结构为“has/have+过去分词”；且主语it是单数，助动词用has。故填has covered。
54. users 解析：句意：据《人民日报》报道，预计将服务5000万用户。serve后接宾语，此处指服务用户；user“用户”，需用复数形式表示泛指。故填users。
55. the 解析：句意：市场上大多数手机都能使用它。on the market“在市场上”，是固定搭配。故填the。
56. or 解析：句意：使用5G-A不会消耗更多数据，也不会花费额外费用。or连接并列成分，表示“或者”。故填or。
57. smoother 解析：句意：它比5G快约10倍，使聊天、游戏和下载视频更加流畅。much修饰比较级，smooth的比较级是smoother。故填smoother。

59. be done 解析：句意：过去下载视频需要很长时间，但现在通过5G-A只需几秒即可完成。it指代“下载视频”，与do之间是被动关系，此处应用被动语态，且情态动词can后接动词原形。故填be done。
