A hit B forced C stole D broke 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 句意为“小偷把那位女士的珠宝箱的锁弄开了。”关键在于open一词。A为“打，击”，通常指用工具或徒手攻击；B为“强迫，迫使，用强力打开”等意；C为“偷盗，偷窃”，无法搭配；D为“打碎，打破”，已经含有“打开”之意。 第8题 How to raise the efficiency, ______ is the question.

The food is terrible! --______. A Not am I. B I won't, either. C So with me. D Me, too. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 句意为“——我再也不来这家饭店丁，食物太糟了。——我也不会来了。”本题为情景对话题，须结合上下文分析。A项表示“我也不是”，一般现在时表示现在的情况。B项表示“我将也不……”，表示对将来的看法。C项和D项表示“我也是”，不符合上文“再也不来”的否定陈述，因此可以排除。 第12题 The girl is often listened ______ songs at the next room.

Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. In order not to be found out, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals. In Spring's time, fight after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states. So, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty. Robert Spring spent 15 years ______. A running a bookstore in Philadelphia B writing letters to Miss Fanny Jackson C selling false signatures D selling autographs 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.7分 【答案解析】 [分析] 首句明确告诉我们，15年来Robert Spring一直卖名人的假签名。 第2题 Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada?

He could learn many things from them. Soon, he developed his own way of doing things by developing his mind through his interest in creating stories. He read more than most children and he gathered his inspiration from history books. In school, his athletic interests were basketball and bike, especially high jump. When he found he could jump a little higher than most students, he decided that jumping over a high bar would be his specialty. Jim continued his learning interest in history which included serious college study, and a Master's degree. He is now a university professor at a small university. In the United States there are many schools that have history departments. There are large universities with as many as 60 thousand students and small universities with as few as 2 000 students. His degree from a large university with a strong history department has helped him get a good job. Jim and Kate like cats. They have two of them and these cats are special members of the family. Their grey and white cat is Toby. The coal-black colour cat is called Buddha(佛爷) because he sits so quietly. Cats are popular with many people in America. We can infer from the above passage that ______.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what keeping up with the Joneses is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life-style of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses", because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich life-style of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the county for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead. According to the writer, it is ______ to keep up with the Joneses. A correct B interesting C impossible D good 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [分析] 主旨题。本文最后一句已经为我们阐述了作者的观点“…because no matter what one does，Mr．Jones always seems to be ahead．”“无论如何Jones先生永远在我们的前面。所以要想和他保持步调一致是不可能的。所以，C项正确。” 第8题 Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______. A want to be as rich as their neighbors B want others to know or to think that they are rich C don't want others to know they are rich D want to be happy 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [分析] 推理题。根据文中第一自然段中“And even if he does not become very rich，he wants people to think that he is．That is what keeping up with the Joneses’is about．”我们可以推出原因在于他们想让别人认为他们和周围的人一样富有。所以，选B正确。 第9题 Arthur Momand used the name "Jones" in his series of short stories because "Jones" is ______. A an important name B a popular name in the United States C his neighbor's name D not a good name 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [分析] 细节题。文中第四段明确写明“…because‘Jones’is a very common name in the United States．”“Jones”在美国是一个很普通的名字。所以；B项正确。 第10题 It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ______. A live outside New York City B live in New York City C live in apartments D have many neighbors 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.3分 【答案解析】 [分析] 推理题。从文中第二段“That was a lot of money in those days…moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City．”我们不难得知Arthur Momand在当时的薪水很高，算是新富人。他搬到了纽约城外。作为时代人群的代表，他代表了当时富翁人群的普遍思想。所以，选A正确。 第11题 According to people who saw it, a large, bright object "exploded" over a. Siberian forest in 1908, making a very loud noise and causing a spectacular "cloud of fire." Surprisingly, scientists did not visit the area until 1927. If anything, they were expecting to find a large hole and fragments(碎片)of rock that would indicate the impact of a meteor(流星). Instead, they found an area with fallen trees radiating(辐射)out from a central point, and largely destroyed by fire. Recent studies concluded that an object exploded about three miles above the ground. If this destruction was not caused by a meteor, then what did cause it? This is a tantalizing question. Some scientists think that a small comet(彗星)exploded just before colliding(碰撞) with the earth and ignited the forest. Recently, a few scientists have noticed that the area looks as if an atomic explosion took place, but they have no explanations of how or why. There is even a theory that a spaceship from another planet exploded while trying to land on the earth. To date, the evidence for all these theories is very mainly for educated guess. Scientists found ______ in the area where an "explosion"' had happened. A fragments of rock B a big hole C fallen trees destroyed by fire D a crashed spaceship 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 见第四～六行“Instead，they found…destroyed by fire”告之爆炸发生的地方树木被大火摧毁。 第12题 It is certain that ______.
