【解析】

试题分析：此题型放在第二部分（语音、词汇和语法）中，说明它主要考核学生对于词汇的掌握情况。所以，方框中单词的“词性”、“中文意思”至关重要。1. believed v. 相信、认为(而且是过去式或过去分词)；2. situation n. 形势、场面、情景； 3. close to 形容词词组，离……近的；4. technology n. 技术；5. search for 动词词组，搜寻。然后，根据单词所在句子的中文意思和词性需求进行“筛选”。

1.

2.……女孩”，所以此处肯定填一个动词，在“believed”和“search for”之间，另外，began to do sth不能用过去式或过去分词，所以答案明显，应该选E，即“搜寻”。

3.……”即“被动语态”，所以本题选A。

4.……”，此处应该填一个“名词”，剩下两个都是名词，但是意思不同，根据意思“警察担心她们的状况”，所以选B。

考点：选词填空。
