Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby?s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father?s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30 the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies? laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
21. A. babies B. believers C. fairies D. supermen 22. A. powerful B. cruel C. frightened D. extraordinary 23. A. sick B. slim C. short D. small 24. A. uncomfortable B. unbelievable C. unacceptable D. unrecognizable 25. A. feared B. predicted C. heard D. reported 26. A. covered B. changed C. replaced D. terrified 27. A. cases B. tools C. steps D. methods 28. A. missed B. stolen C. found D. lost 29. A.1ittle B. pale C. sad D. real 30. A. seize B. burn C. place D. hold 答案
本文主要是说英国的神话故事中非所有仙女都是善良的，有的很残酷，常给人们带来痛苦。 21. C 结合前句可知，本句意为“并不是所有的仙女(fairies)都像迪斯尼电影中出现的人物那样友善、讨人喜爱”。
22. B 与前面的friendly相对，后面的and cause much human suffering也说明了这一点。 23. A 由与之并列的pale (苍白)可知，是有病的婴儿。
24. D 因为“变化如此之大”，所以父母也“无法识别，辨不出来”。
25. A 孩子变得辨认不出来了，这时“人们担心(it is feared that…)”被仙女来换了一个孩子了。 26. C 由前文stolen the baby away可知，是用a fairy Changeling来取代了the human baby；表示“取代”用replace = take the place of。
27. D 由前文的many ways可知，与ways同义的是methods。 28. B 由前文stolen the baby away可知。
29. D 与用来取代的假的相对，应当为“真的”。 30. C 把the Changeling“放到”火上面。

25. A。与destruction(毁灭)并列的应是death(死亡)，上文的warfare (战争), kill more people 和The merchant of death is dead也都说明要选A。
26. D。由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记(be remember with love and respect)”。
