Answer 1

店主看到来住店的客人的包,认为里面有许多钱，于是便想占为己有，他们夫妻二人想出一个办法，把健忘草拌在客人的饭里想让其第二天起来时忘记去寻找自己的包，可是客人却在第二天一早就离开了，连住宿费都忘了付。店主夫妻害人不成反害了自己。弄清故事的情节发展是做好本题的关键。

1. D本句考查的是时态，该动作发生在下文said 的前面，表"过去的过去"，因此用   D. 而C表示的是状态。

2. B此为情态动词表示猜测在there be句型中的运用。

3. A let's后跟动词原行，代词要放在动词和副词构成的词组中间。

4. D let's引导的祈使句，其反意疑问句为shall we。

5. C包没了，当然会寻找(look for) 。

6. B下文minutes为可数名词复数，此句为肯定句，故选afew。

A项表示否定含义，C、D都修饰不可数名词，前者表否定，后者表肯定。

7. A why not do sth.为why don't you do sth.的省略形式，表示建议。

8. A条件状语从句中，主句是将来时，从句则用一般现在时。

9. B forget doing sth.表示"忘记做过某事"了， forget to do sth.表示"忘记了要去做某事"；take 与下文的away构成固定短语，表示"拿走"。

10. C那个客人吃的是拌有健忘草的饭。

with表示具有、伴随。

11. A find the door open,发现门是开着的，这里open是形容词做宾语补足语。

12. C妻子的建议没有达到预想的效果,所以店主很生气。

13. D店主抱怨说健忘草根本没用。

14. B妻子坚持认为吃了健忘草的客人一定忘了某事。

15. C原来客人吃饭、住宿后忘记付钱了。
