C.wealthyD.poor
【解析】 他不安于贫困,去找算命先生自然是询问如何致富。
【答案】 C
2.A.anxiouslyB.sadly
C.quietlyD.patiently
【解析】 四个选项中只有A项anxiously可以表现他迫不及待的心情。
【答案】 A
3.A.knowledgeB.skills
C.brainD.eyes
【解析】 根据下文“Youusethemtoseethisworld.”可知应为eyes。
【答案】 D
4.A.uglyB.beautiful
C.strangeD.useful
【解析】 虽然四个选项所表示的都是眼睛可以看到的,但beautiful合乎算命先生说话的意思。
【答案】 B
5.A.legsB.cars
C.jewelsD.banknotes
【解析】 根据后面的“Youcanrunveryfast.”可知应为legs。
【答案】 A
6.A.lovelyB.optimistic
C.angryD.willing
【解析】 根据后面的“Iamwillingtogiveyou...”及willing的用法可知选D项。
【答案】 D
7.A.chargeB.buy
C.exchangeD.change
【解析】 charge和change意思不符;buy后不跟for,所以用exchange。
【答案】 C
8.A.preciousB.useless
C.extraD.special
【解析】 根据前面的一句“Iamnotgoingtoexchangemyeyesformoney!
”可知年轻人不愿意交换,可以推断眼睛对他来说是重要的、宝贵的。
所以选A。
【答案】 A
9.A.weptB.demonstrated
C.smiledD.yelled
【解析】 从年轻人说话的语气推断他应该很生气,所以冲着算卦先生大声嚷道。
yelled符合文中的情形。

C.keepD.hold
【解析】 realize为“意识到”,其他三个选项不妥。
【答案】 B

【答案】 A
14.A.wronglyB.wisely
C.naturallyD.really
【解析】 根据上文“Weneedtotreasureourwealth,takecareofthem...”推断应该选B项。
【答案】 B
15.A.oldB.used
C.goneD.dead

gone是形容词,表示动作的完成,不表示被动。

Ⅱ.语法填空

【语篇解读】 作者通过自己的经历——对自己发挥着重要作用的单车丢失后,许多好心善良的人甚至素不相识的陌生人也提供了大量的无私帮助告诉我们:
善行无论大小,作用是巨大的。
1.arrival 前面为介词on,所以要用名词形式或动名词形式(ing)。
句意:
他一到那里就把自行车停到了后门外。
2.as asusual和往常一样。
3.which 引导一个非限制性定语从句,代替前面指物的先行词bike,所以用which。
4.toget 作目的状语,所以要用动词不定式结构。
解题时可以把被动形式改为主动形式:
...usethebike________(get)groceries。
5.where 这里指的是从我们住的地方到杂货店等。
6.them 这里指的是报社的工作人员,作动词told的宾语,所以要用宾格。
7.from 从前面的gettohisjob来看,这里指的是下班(回家),所以要用from。
8.an 注意这里honour为抽象名词具体化,再加上该单词以元音音素开头,所以要用不定冠词an。
9.bepassed smile是被人传递的,所以应该用被动语态,因前面有情态动词can,所以要用be。
10.strengthened 所填的词在句中作谓语,再加上事情已经发生,所以要用动词的一般过去时。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
