參考答案
51 B 該段中有這樣一個(gè)短語(yǔ)“particularly difficult to catch”（很難找到他），“well known for keeping himself to himself”是“以與世隔絕為大家熟知”�？梢钥闯觯鶕�(jù)下文，用“well known”最為合適。
52 A hold：抱�。荒米�。run into和bump into都有“撞上”的意思，這是不由一個(gè)人的主觀意志所能控制的。
53 D 對(duì)第一段做解釋時(shí)，提到了上下文可以幫助我們做出正確的判斷。緊隨其后的是“It came as a complete surprise．”（這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)來得很突然）�！皊hock”和“surprise”意思很接近，因此選擇“shocked”是對(duì)的。
54 c like作“喜歡”解時(shí)是動(dòng)詞，而此處需要的是一個(gè)名詞。devotion后面跟“to”，attraction是“吸引”的意思。填入后意思不太合適。因此只有“l(fā)ove”是正確的選項(xiàng)。
55 A despite引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)反比，主旬中有一個(gè)“easy”，那么它的反義詞就是“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“處于某種位子”， 是固定的說法。
58 C 這里需要填入的是一個(gè)不及物動(dòng)詞，“received”，“obtained”，“had”都是及物動(dòng)詞，只有“won”既可作及物動(dòng)詞，又可作不及物動(dòng)詞。
59 A 在這四個(gè)動(dòng)詞中，只有“deal”可跟“with”搭配。
60 D 整個(gè)句子說的是：在處理這個(gè)國(guó)家依然存在的暴力，犯罪和種族隔離問題，他的書能使一般人從內(nèi)部理解種族隔離�！皬摹嵌取背Ｓ谩癴rom…”。
61 D “casts its shadow”是“給……帶來影響”，是固定的搭配。
62 B “think twice”相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)中的“三思而后行”。正如漢語(yǔ)中不說“二思而后行”一樣，英文中也不說“think three times”，這是固定的說法。
63 c 該句子的意思是，他作品中的純潔性反映到了他的個(gè)人生活中，“mirrored”是“反映”的意思。
64 A 從下文“far greater than the things he has given up”（比起他放棄的東西要多得多）來看，選擇“contributed”是對(duì)的。全句說的是：但是，他對(duì)文學(xué)、文化、南非人民所做出的貢獻(xiàn)比起他放棄的東西要多得多。
65 D 其他三個(gè)動(dòng)詞填入后生成的都是不合格的句子。
