　　51A looked after B well known C locked D protected

　　52 A catch B hold C run into D bump into

　　59 A Dealing B Handling C Solving D Removing

　　62 A once B twice C three times D four times

　　63 A written B hidden C mirrored D stricken

　　64 A contributed B distributed C attributed D showed

　　65 A tell B says C informs D expresses

　　答案:

　　51 B 该段中有这样一个短语"particularly difficult to catch"(很难找到他)，"well known for keeping himself to himself"是"以与世隔绝为大家熟知".可以看出，根据下文，用"well known"最为合适。

　　52 A hold：抱住;拿住。run into和bump into都有"撞上"的意思，这是不由一个人的主观意志所能控制的。

　　53 D 对第一段做解释时，提到了上下文可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的是"It came as a complete surprise."(这个奖来得很突然)。"shock"和"surprise"意思很接近，因此选择"shocked"是对的。

　　54 c like作"喜欢"解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devotion后面跟"to"，attraction是"吸引"的意思。填入后意思不太合适。因此只有"love"是正确的选项。

　　55 A despite引导的是一个反比，主旬中有一个"easy"，那么它的反义词就是"difficult".

　　56 B "幻make a breakthrough"等于"t0 break through".是周定的搭配。

　　57 c "t0 take one's place"是"处于某种位子"， 是固定的说法。

　　58 C 这里需要填入的是一个不及物动词，"received"，"obtained"，"had"都是及物动词，只有"won"既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。

　　59 A 在这四个动词中，只有"deal"可跟"with"搭配。

　　60 D 整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力，犯罪和种族隔离问题，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离。"从……角度"常用"from…".

　　61 D "casts its shadow"是"给……带来影响"，是固定的搭配。

　　62 B "think twice"相当于汉语中的"三思而后行".正如汉语中不说"二思而后行"一样，英文中也不说"think three times"，这是固定的说法。

　　63 c 该句子的意思是，他作品中的纯洁性反映到了他的个人生活中，"mirrored"是"反映"的意思。

　　64 A 从下文"far greater than the things he has given up"(比起他放弃的东西要多得多)来看，选择"contributed"是对的。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所做出的贡献比起他放弃的东西要多得多。

　　65 D 其他三个动词填入后生成的都是不合格的句子。
