　　答案

　　56.A fall ill表示“生病”。文章是讲过去的故事，应该用过去时，所以选择A，而不选择D。此处考查时态和搭配用法。

　　57.D cure after cure表示“一次接一次的治疗”。此处考查介词after的用法。

　　58.B文章中说国王尝试了各种治疗方式，但是都不起作用。所以选择B项worked“起作用”，此处考查词汇的含义和用法。

　　59.C give off“散发”;give out“分发，发布”;give up‘放弃”;give in“妥协，让步”。

　　60.B put on表示“穿上”，只有它表示穿上衣服的具体动作，dress表示给某人穿衣，wear表示穿衣的状态，不符合句子要求。

　　61.A recover表示“复原，恢复健康”;relax表示“放松”;relieve表示“缓和，减轻”;remove表示“移除，挪动”。

　　62.D off and Oil表示“断断续续地”;back andforth表示“来回地，往复地”;up and down表示“上上下下”;far and wide表示“到处”。

　　63.C nowhere引导倒装句，could表示可能性。根据句意，这里需要袁达的是：他们根本没能找到这样的人。

　　64.A content表示“高兴，幸福”。

　　65.A fault表示“过错”;mistake表示“错误，过失;误会”;error表示“错误，失误，差错”;shortage表示“缺点”。

　　66.C根据后一句话“If he had a good mother-in- law，he was catching a cold”，那么，此句话的意思应相反，即not catching a cold，也即healthy，所以选C。

　　67.B Finally表示“终于，最后”。根据上面句子的内容，其他地方根本找不到这样的人，已经无可奈何了，但最后，问题出现了转机。

　　68.D when引导时间状语，表示“"当……时候”。此处需要一个袁示时间的关系副词。

　　69.B 只有lie表示“躺下”，符合句意。

　　70.D根据上句话，这句话需要的是more所修饰的定语成分。

　　71.c不定式的一般时态to do sth.表示“将要做什么”。不定式的完成时to have done sth.表示已经完成的动作。这句话因为发生在过去，动作已经完成，所以用不定式的完成时。

　　72.A give orders to do sth.表示“命令做某事”。

　　73.B根据句意是给衣服的主人付钱，所以应选Bo

　　74.C ask表示“索要，要求”，符合句意。

　　75.A句意是从他的背上脱下衬衫。
