新概念英语第二册课后练习题答案详解(第58课)新概念英语第二册课后习题Lesson 581. b根据课文第8-9行…but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income 能够判断只有c. it earns money 与课文的实际内容相符，是牧师拒绝把树砍掉的原因，其他3个选择都与课文的实际情况不符，所以选b.2. d根据课文最后两句…the tourists have been picking leaves and… So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death, 能够看出只有d. Tourists who have picked leaves haven’t died (摘树叶的游客们没有死)是真实的，与课文的内容相符，其他3个选择都与课文的事实不符。

3. a该句缺少主语和谓语，只有一个that引导的从句。

只有a. They say (他们说，人们说)，最适合这个句子，也合乎语法和习惯用法。

其他3个选择b. it said (它说)意思不对，应该是it is said 才准确;c. Said 缺少主语;d. It is saving 不合乎习惯用法，应该是It is said 才对。

所以选a.4. a该句中的if 从句是过去时，那么主句就应该是过去将来时，即用would 加动词原形，表示与现在事实相反，所以只有选a. would才能使主句He would die 与If 从句相配，构成虚拟语气。

其他3个选择都不合乎语法。

5. c该句是现在完成时否定式,句尾需要添一个合适的副词.a. still, b. even, d. more 都不能用在句尾,只有c. yet常用于完成时态否定句的句尾,表示"还没",所以只能选c.6. b该句中的…all that has been said 为名词性短语，前面只能有介词引导。

裕兴新概念英语第二册笔记第58课Lesson 58 A blessing in disguise? 是因祸得福吗？Why does the vicar refuse to cut down the tree?The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!参考译文据说弗林利这个小村里有一棵“该诅咒的树”。
