完形填空 Farmers,as we all know,have been having a hard time of it lately,and have turned
to new ways of earning income from their land.This involves not only planting new kinds of crops,but some 1 ways of making money,the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing.Yes,you heard me 2 !A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis,and during the past year over 100,000 people have 3 to watch the race.“I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,"one punter (赛马经纪人)told me,“and I thought I'd have a look.I didn't believe it was serious to tell you the truth."According to a regular visitor,betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses.“At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse 4 8 ,and there are clear favourites. 5 nobody has heard anything about these 6 !Most people find it difficult to tell one from another in any
case."I stayed to watch the races,and I must admit that I found it quite 7 . In
a usual sheep race,half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile.Food is waiting for them at the other end of the8 just to give them so
me encouragement,I ought to add!The sheep run surprisingly fast， 9 they have probably not eaten for a while.Anyway,the crowd around me were obviously enjoying
heir day out at the races, 10 by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.1.A.commonB.strangeC.swiftD.illegal2.A.honestlyB.surprisinglyC.completelyD.correctly3.A.showed offB.brought upC.turned upD.looked forward4.A.behind timeB.in progressC.in advanceD.in time5.A.ButB.ThereforeC.MoreoverD.Otherwise6.A.horsesB.sheepC.racesD.stories7.A.excitingB.dangerousC.boringD.peculiar8.A.raceB.hillC.trackD.field9.A.ifB.soC.yetD.although10.A.observingB.judgingC.consideringD.inferring

BDCCA BACDB解析1. 对于此空，前面已给出提示。我们可以注意到前半句用了not only,因此后者与前者情况相同。前者是planting new kinds of crops，这里是some ________ways of making money,strange当然是最合适的。而且接下来文中说the most unusual of which…，所以这里选strange完全符合逻辑。而A项common“普通的”；C项swift“快的；迅速的”；D项illegal“不合法的”均不符合题意。
