本文是一篇幽默小故事。一个刚刚移民到美国的俄国人不懂英语,在他的商店开业的时候,他挂了一个“开业大吉”的牌子吸引顾客。第二天,他看到一大群顾客都聚集在附近的一家商店,他就模仿这家店牌子上的字做了一个新牌子,挂在自己店门口,牌子上写着“停业”。

1句意:一个俄罗斯人移民到了美国。

Russian俄罗斯人;British英国人;Canadian加拿大人;Australian澳大利亚人;根据下文“he could not read English”可知,他不懂英语,英国、加拿大和澳大利亚都是以英语为母语的国家,可以推测他是俄罗斯人。故选A

2句意:一个朋友建议他,为了吸引顾客,应该在商店外放一块醒目的标志牌。

people人们;neighbors邻居;customers顾客;children孩子;根据上文“He decided to open a small shop”可知,他想开一家小商店,那么,他想要吸引的应该是顾客。故选C

3句意:然后他把它放在店外让大家能看到的地方。

in在里面;for为了;at在(表示存在或出现的地点、场所、位置、空间);to朝;他把牌子放在商店的外面是为了让大家都看到,需用介词“为了”for。故选B

4句意:他想知道他们在看什么。

asked询问;looked看;studied学习;wondered想知道;根据“The next day, he saw a big crowd gathered around a nearby shop.”可知他很好奇,想要知道人们在看什么,故用wondered“想知道”。故选D

5句意:虽然他看不懂英语,但他注意到牌子上的字比他的多。

Although虽然;Because因为;Since自从;However然而;此处指“尽管他不懂英语”,前面否定,后面肯定,需要用一个表转折的连词,故选A

6句意:虽然他看不懂英语,但他注意到牌子上的字比他的多。

more更多;many许多;fewer更少;few几乎没有;联系两个广告牌“Grand Opening”和Going Out of …”可知,此处指他注意到那个牌子上的字比他的多,故选A

7句意:“我应该要有个那样的牌子”,他暗自思忖。

spoke说;thought认为,思考;told告诉;talked谈论,说;think to oneself是固定搭配,意为“心里想,暗自思忖”,他看到别人家店前因为这个标志牌吸引了很多顾客,所以他也想有这样的标志牌。故选B

8句意:他写下标志牌上的字,然后回家订了一块新的标志牌。

big大的;bright明亮的;new新的;colorful多彩的;根据上文“I should get a sign just like that one”和下文“the man took down his “Grand Opening” sign. placed his new sign”可知,他又做了一个新的广告牌,故选C

9句意:第二天,他取下了他的“开业大吉”,自豪地将新牌子挂上,上面写着“停业”。

carefully细心地;nervously紧张地;silently安静地;proudly自豪地;根据“I should get a sign just like that one,”可知他对自己的决定是满意的,所以他把就标志牌取下来,自豪地换上了新的,觉得这样就能招来客人;故用自豪地proudly。故选D

10句意:第二天,他取下了他的“开业大吉”,自豪的将新牌子挂上,上面写着“停业”。

Style风格;Business生意;America美国;Service服务;根据前面地标志牌“Grand Opening”可知后面他换的广告牌是和它相关的,而且本文是一则幽默故事,故可知他写的是有趣的东西,而“Going Out of Business”,刚好与旧的广告牌意思相反且有幽默感。故选B

【题目】 Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and to do things with. Surely there is also some time when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. It doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of time they will make up (重归于好) and become friends again.

Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much, but we can call them or write to them. And we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

There is more good news for people with friends. They live longer than people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself.
