  About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn't want to 1 too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.

  The next morning, 2 , the clerk said that he knew nothing about money. I didn't have any proof 3 I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but go to the 4 lawyer.

  The lawyer 5 me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. So we did. An hour later, I went 6 to the desk and asked for my money. 7 I had the lawyer as an eyewitness (证人) to the 8 hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he 9 nothing about it.

  Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer's 10 into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to 11 for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and 12 the clerk insisted he had given 13 to me, I said it was not true . The lawyer said to him, “I 14 this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don't hand it 15 immediately, I will be forced to call the 16 ” The clerk realized he had been 17 , so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.

  “I don't know 18 to thank you enough for 19 my money back.”I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “Oh, don't 20 me. That will be one hundred dollars, please.”

答案:A;C;D;A;A;C;D;D;C;C;B;A;D;B;B;A;C;B;C;B
解析:

1.解析:

本文讲的是一个旅客被旅馆服务员讹诈后在律师的帮助下追回了100美元,但是却全用来交付律师费用的故事。本句句意为:“我不想随身带太多的钱。”虽然四个动词都可与money搭配,但意思却不同。carry money(带钱),lend money(借钱),spend money(花钱),hold money(握着钱)中,唯有carry money符合句意。

2.解析:

该空前后都有一逗号,说明填入的是插入语。四个选项中只有C项(however)可用作插入语。

3.解析:

后面是定语从句,先行词proof(证据)之前有any修饰,故只能用that,不能用which引导。

4.解析:

根据常理,可排除B项(farthest),而C项(good)与D项(native)填入句中,均不如A项(nearest)。

5.解析:

从上文可知,作者本人并没有提出要律师一起回旅馆的要求,所以填B、C、D三项均没有道理。

填入A项(advised)符合文章的意思:律师建议一起回旅馆去。

6.解析:

前面文中的“return to the hotel”已经包含有“返回”之意。填入back后,便与前面一致。

7.解析:

该空后面是一个原因状语从句,能引导原因从句的选项只有D项(Since),意思是:“既然我有了律师作证人……”。

10.解析:

句中的put…into action意为”把……付诸实施”。实施的只能是律师的计划。

13.解析:

指代的是前面所说的the hundred-dollar bill,是单数,要用it。

14.解析:

既然律师是作为“证人”出现的,此处用saw(看见)是理所当然。

15.解析:

四个选项都可与动词 hand组成词组:hand over(送交当局,移交),hand in(交出),hand up(向上传递),hand out(散发),其中hand in(交出)最佳。

16.解析:

根据上下文,律师是以报警来威胁服务员,所以只能选A(policeman)。

17.解析:

服务员已经意识到他已经中了律师的圈套,所以填C项(cheated)。

18.解析:

句意为:“我不知道该怎么感谢你。”只有B项(how)合适。

19.解析:

后面有副词back,动词return不能与它搭配,可排除A项。give back是表示律师把钱还给作者,ask for则强调的是“要求”而不是结果,都不符合题意。 get money back(把钱要回来)才符合题意。

20.解析:

最后律师说的是:“不要感谢我,请你付给我100美元吧。”

完形填空 :通读下面的短文, 掌握其大意, 然后在1—25各题所给的四个选项中, 选出   一个最佳答案。  

     When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or   for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For   I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story   than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember   the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For   instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the   story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and   cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in   the speech of a 13 character.

           

   Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and   so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)   about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of   English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of   stories or 18 is called the general reader.

           

   As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.   Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21   you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.   Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;   negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in   expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent   copying is a help to 25 by heart.

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.  It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,  keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims.  The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all.  Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires.  For example,  instead of beginning with “I save your   10   in today’s paper”, you might say “I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it”.

Try to   13   generalities.  Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   14  . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no   15   has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is   16  .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   17   a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.  An excellent   18   is to enclose(内附) a stamped,  self-addressed envelope with your letter.  That makes it   19   for a possible employer to get in   20   with you.
