Answer 1

CBCAA DCADB
1.因mistake A for B （将A误以为B）是固定搭配。
2.由常识可知，报社应是“发布”消息，故用announce （give information about）。
3.由首句became a millionaire可知。
4.根据常识，看到自己本来死却报道死了这样的消息，特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论，应当是“不高兴，苦恼（unhappy or annoyed）”，不可能是“兴奋的（excited）”“高兴的（pleased）”“渴望的（anxious）”。
25与destruction（毁灭）并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。
5.由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记（be remember with love and respect）”。
6.由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遗嘱（will）”中作的安排。
7.根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配，又结合常识，应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。
8.奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to…（对……作出贡献）是固定搭配。
9.这个题最有争议了。我认为这句话不可以直译为：诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。这不仅不合情理，也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。语言是非常灵活的，我们不妨来意译：好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛，否则他就是行尸走肉，灵魂早已死去。
而这句话，则是作者对诺贝尔的评语。可以读得出来，作者对诺贝尔的晚年还是抱赞赏态度的。
