　　11．After a long journey________through Arabic countries, he returned to the motherland.

　　A．wondering

　　B．wondered

　　C．wandering

　　D．wandered

　　答案：C　本題考查詞形易混詞語wonder與wander。句意：在阿拉伯國家漂泊很久之后，他返回了祖國。wander意為“漫游，漂泊”，符合語境。wonder意為“驚奇，想知道”。wander與邏輯主語之間為主謂關系，所以用v.-ing形式。

　　12．After losing $20, 000 on my last business venture. I'm not taking________this time.

　　A．any chances

　　B．any turns

　　C．a tip

　　D．a look

　　答案：A　句意：上次生意損失了兩萬美元，這次我不冒這個險了。take chances/a chance“冒險”，符合語境。

　　A．which

　　B．as

　　15．As far as I remember, my parents always reminded me of my table________during dinner.

　　A．ways
