A. offered B. bought C. provided D. shared
[解析]选C。provide sb. with sth. 向某人提供某物; offer用于offer sb. sth. 或offer sth. to sb. 。share与文意不符。B项干扰性最大, 但buy的句型只能用作buy sb. sth. 或buy sth. for sb. , 不能用with。
37. A. gave B. treated C. made D. sent
[解析]选B。treat sb. to sth. 是固定搭配, 意思是“用某物招待某人”, 关键信息是介词to。
38. A. of B. with C. to D. for
[解析]选A。商人以有这位妻子而自豪, 总是想向客人炫耀自己的妻子。be proud of. . . 为……而自豪。
39. A. Wherever B. However
C. Whether D. Whenever
[解析]选D。由下文always得出, 每当遇到麻烦就去找第二位妻子求救。此处指时间, 不是指地点(wherever)、方式(however)或表示疑问(whether)。
40. A. ought to B. dared
C. would D. might
[解析]选C。此处would意思是“过去的习惯性动作”, 即总是帮他摆脱困境。并非只有这位妻子应该帮助丈夫摆脱困境, 故排除A项; 其他dared与might不符合文意。

[解析]选B。此处与下文形成转折关系, 尽管第一位妻子很爱他, 但他几乎注意不到。
42. A. soon B. away C. easily D. bitterly

[解析]选C。与上文形成转折, 活着的时候有四位妻子相伴, 死后却孤零零一个人。
44. A. lonely B. difficult C. lovely D. funny

45. A. respected B. missed C. wanted D. loved

46. A. like B. catch C. help D. follow
[解析]选D。follow me意思是“跟着我一块去”, 即和商人一起死。keep sb. company陪伴某人。
47. A. sad B. hopeless C. anxious D. lucky
[解析]选A。遭到第四位妻子的拒绝后商人非常悲伤。此时商人只问了一位妻子, 所以还不至于hopeless“绝望的”; anxious“担忧的”和lucky“幸运的”与逻辑不符。
48. A. Yes B. No C. Sure D. OK
[解析]选B。由下文得知第三位妻子也拒绝了商人的要求。Yes, Sure, OK都表示同意, 实际上是遭到了拒绝, 故可排除。
49. A. work B. leave C. remarry D. stay
[解析]选C。remarry“再婚”符合全文意义, 其他选项意思与全文不符。“商人死后这位妻子要另嫁人”是对商人的明确答复, 她说“这儿很好”可排除leave; work, stay与商人的问题无关。
50. A. seldom B. always
C. sometimes D. often
[解析]选B。上文用了whenever, 与此处的always相符。商人遇到困难总是找这位妻子帮忙。
51. A. advise B. demand C. suggest D. help
[解析]选D。help sb. out是固定搭配, “帮助某人脱离困境”, 上文已出现。advise, demand, suggest都不与out搭配。

55. A. Otherwise B. Therefore

[解析]选D。actually“实际上”, 作者用这个转折词说明自己的观点, 上文只是个比喻。otherwise“不然的话”; therefore“因此”; anyway“无论如何”都不表示总结性的转折。
