困惑: 易错题(50题)
分析: 50题容易做错,属于“词汇理解有误”的错误类型,本题主要考查熟词僻义。A项的词义为“给…领路”,B项的词义为“说服”,C项的词义为“原谅;(离开前)请求原谅”,D项的词义为“允许”。A、C、D三个选项的意思都很简单,同学们都认识。做错题最重要的原因是不知道C项excuse的意思除“原谅”之外,还有一个就是“准许…离开,(离开前)请求原谅”。根据and send the (52) to my teammates可知,为了发送出证据等相关信息,当卧底的王先生请求离开去上厕所,所以C项为正确答案。

这位60岁的老人不是一名演员,而是一名 (42) 警察 。然而,他比任何真正的演员都更专注于自己的“ (43) 角色 ”。

“我经常 (48) 邀请 他们喝酒。一旦他们 (49) 喝醉 了,他们就开始说很多话,”王先生说,“然后我会 (50) 请求离开 去上厕所, (51) 记下 乞丐们说的话,然后把 (52) 信息 发给我的队友。”
王先生经常处于 (53) 危险的 境地,他也是一位柔道大师。他说:“只要我离得足够近,任何一个罪犯都无法从我身边 (54) 逃跑 。”
王先生的 (55) 勇气 为他赢得了一些荣誉,包括一枚全国五一劳动奖章和11项嘉奖。
