(1) A 下文but he was often unable to work已暗示出，Jack的父亲在棉纱厂是有工作干的 (2) C 原因状语because of poor health说明，Jack父亲平时不能正常上班. (3) D 四个选项均为及物动词，其后都能跟不定式作宾语，但空白后的不定式to pay the rent表明，最佳答案为D.此处afford是“负担得起”的意思. (4) B go hungry表示“挨饿”是习惯用法，其中go是系动词，构成系表结构.这一意思可根据前一个并列分句The family couldn't afford to pay the rent作出正确判断. (5) B “疑问句＋ 不定式”起名词词组的作用，可在句在作wondering的宾语，四个选项中，只有疑问句代词what能作及物动词do的宾语，和其后的动词不定式具有逻辑上的动宾关系，故为最佳选择. (6) C 由下文战后在金属切悄原料缺少的情况下，Jack屯积原料，高价销售赚钱发财，可以判断出此空应填business，意为“生意”. (7) C take/follow one's advice 表示“听从某人的劝告”，“接受某人的意见”是固定的动词短语. (8) D earn money意为“赚钱”是固定的动词短语，这一意思可根据下文Jack成功地向借给他钱的老师Mr. Walker还清了100英镑，还向他付给了100%的利息以表示对他的感谢作出正确判断. (9) A enjoy和prefer都可以表示“喜欢”后跟动名词，但prefer表示“宁愿”、“更喜欢”有比较和选择的意思，填入与句意不符. (10) C 四个选项的动名词都能作介词宾语，由空白后的并列分句he also managed to give Mr Walker 100% interest...可以判断出此空应填repaying，表示“偿还” (11) A 四个选项都可以作及物动词，后跟不定式作宾语，前一个并列分句已叙述了After one year he succeeded in repaying the ￡100，再根据空白后并列分句的语境及空白前also所表达的递进意义，可以确定此空应填managed.其后跟不定式表示“设法”、“完成”做某事. (12) B 到过去某一时间以前完成的动作需用过去完成时，由时间状语By the time Jack was 30 years old，可以判断出，该空的谓语动词应用过去完成时. (13) D 由空白后动名词短语所表示的意义，可以确定此空应填表示通过某种方式的介词by. (14) B 根据句型结构，此空应填it作形式主语，真正的主语是位于句子后部的动词不定式to build a beautiful home for himself and his parents. (15) D B、C、D项的名词都可以和介词in搭配，但构成的介词短语所表达的意思不同：in the front of在……的前部；in the back of在……的后部；in the heart of在……的中心.下文It was one of the finest buildings in the country.表明，“Baines Castle”位于the Lancashire countryside的中心. (16) D 根据句意，空白所在的分句与前句表示的是转折关系，所以此空应填表示转折关系的并列连词but. (17) C 前句Jack has recently sold “Baines Castle” for￡500 million．表明，Jack已成为百万富翁，由but所表示的转折意义判断，他是不习惯于过富裕生活的.get used to是“习惯于”的意思，to为介词，后跟动名词、名词或代词. (18) B 此空只有填poor，才能与上文The family couldn't afford to pay the rent， and the children went hungry．所表达的意思相照应. (19) C 四个选项均为副词，但由该空前but所表示的转折意义及下文Jack说的话“and I will never forget where I came from and who I am”可以判断出，此空应填表示强意否定意义的时间副词never. (20) C 根据句型结构，forget后为并列的宾语从句，因came from表示的是地点，故此空应填表示地点的连接副词where，引导宾语从句，起连接代词的作用. |

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?
1. A．kind B．sensitive C．fair D．generous

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39 ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once?
