Answer 1

1CBBCD  6DBADC  11 AADBC  16ACCBA

【解析】1从下文可知，母亲查看了盒子背面贴的价格签，所以用check表示“查看”。

2句意：如果你真想要的话，我就给你想出(think of)些额外的杂活做，这样不久你就有钱来给你自己(yourself)买了。

3参见上题解析。

4从上下文可知，珍妮回家后，做了比她份内的更多的杂活，所以用 more than.

5她用自己攒的钱买了那条项链，无论去哪里都戴着——学校、公园，甚至(even)睡觉的时候也是如此。

6　唯一取下来的时候是在她洗澡时。take off 脱下(衣帽、鞋子等)。

7从下文可知，珍妮有一个爱她的父亲，所以用 loving ，表示“充满爱的”。

8每次在珍妮睡觉前，她父亲总会(would)停下手头的事情，来给她讲一个童话故事。此处 would 表示“总是，老是”。

9上文讲父亲总是在珍妮睡前给她讲童话故事，此处表示一天晚上当他讲完故事(story)后。

10下文“Daddy asked for pearls again”是答案提示。

11根据语境可知，珍妮不同意把她的珍珠项链给父亲，她说“你可以拿我的玩具马”，所以用 instead 表示“作为替代”。

12从上下文可知，讲过故事之后(after)，父亲又向珍妮要珍珠项链。

13跟往常一样，父亲亲吻珍妮道晚安。as usual 表示“跟以往一样”。

14一些日子后，有一天父亲进来时注意到(noticed)珍妮在床上抽泣。

15此处表示“她什么也没说”，所以用nothing。

16从上下文可知，珍妮把手伸向父亲，摊开(opened)手掌，里面是那串珍珠项链。

17父亲拿过来那串项链，所以用 take。

18第一段第一句中的“a circle of white pearls”是答案提示。

19从上下文可知，父亲一直都在等待珍妮把假的东西给他，这样(so that)他就能给她真的宝物了。

20从上下文可知，这里 stop sb.from doing sth.是固定结构，表示“阻止某人做某事”，故选A项。
