答案:A;C;B;C;B;D;A;C;B;C;B;A;B;D;C;C;B;B;A;D
解析:

1.上文Cosmo Books Lad。在the Morning Mail作广告销售《莎士比亚全集》这句是说公司以十分优惠的价格向订购者提供这套书,四个选项均为及物动词,但只有offered有“提供”之意,故为最佳选项。

2.此处介词at后是由what引起的从句。

3.其后的钱数已表明了全套书的价格。

4.广告在此的意思是这个数目已包含邮资和包装费,说明价格非常低廉。

5.作者本来早就想买一套莎士比亚的剧本和诗集,现在又看到装帧漂亮的红色仿革封面,自然。这套书对作者而言非常具有吸引力。

6together with意为“和”“连同一起”。这句是说两周后我要的书收到了.此外还有我没有订购的一套《狄更斯全集》。

7.这里指所寄的书中还有作者未订购的《狄更斯全集》,order意为“订购”。

8.这句意思是作者向该公司退还没有订购的《狄更斯全集》并附上一张购《莎士比亚全集》书款所需的一张15英镑50便士的支票。

9.这是一个倒装句.there结构中还可以不用be而用existlivestandarrive之类的不及物动词。此空填arrived表示“()送来”。

10C根据句意,这里是说作者无论如何也付不起将这些书全部寄回去的邮费,故此空填however,意为“无论如何”“不管怎样”,用来加强语气。

11.上文中I could not afford to post a11 these books back to you表明,作者是要该售书公司派人来拿走这些书。四个选项的动词只有take有“拿走”之意,为最佳选项。

12.这里作者劝阻该售书公司不要再邮寄书来,除非另有通知,即再有订单,这里notice意为“通知”。

13.这里是说该售书公司没有给作者回信,而是寄给作者一张42英镑的账单,故此空应填副词instead,意思是“反而”“却”。

14.上文叙述了收到所订购的书是two weeks later,后又有Two more weeks passed,又来了一套《莎士比亚全集》,由此可知,每两周寄来一次书,故填weeks

15.从语气来看,这句是说书多得令作者几乎不知道是些什么书了。

16keepstop主语不对;lie表示“位于”指平放在某物之上;stand表“位于”指在某处。此处指小汽车停放的地点,故填stand

17room前不加冠词表“空间”。上文说成箱的书存放在汽车库,连小汽车都得停留在外面受雨淋,可见汽车库里没有空间再存放更多的书。

18the Last Day表示“世界末日”为固定搭配。这里是说作者认为即使我从现在开始读,一直读到世界末日也读不完你所送来的书。

19.四个选项均为及物动词的现在分词形式,都可以作后置定语,但所表达的意思不同:demand要求;include包括;expect期望;inform告知。这里作者是在恳求该售书公司不要再送书,不要再送账单,不要再送要求付账的信。故此空应填demanding,现在分词短语作后置定语。

20leave sb. with sth.表示将某物留给某人,是固定搭配,这里是作者请求该售书公司派车把书运走,仅剩下那套付过钱的莎士比亚著作。
