  Ref. GBS / SW / 4CJ

  Dear Sir,

  Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd. 1 this set(eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at 2 was claimed to be a 'remarkable' 3 : fifteen pounds and fifty pence, 4 postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books in red imitation leather, looked particularly 5 ; so I sent for them. Two weeks later, the books arrived, 6 with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not 7 , so I returned the Dickens books to you, with a 8 for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there 9 on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six-book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I don't read French, these were of no use to me at all. 10 , I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to You at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and 11 all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further 12 . You did not reply to that letter. 13 you sent me a bill for forty-two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two 14 : the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I 15 know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to 16 in the rain outside.

  I have no 17 for any more books, and even if I read from now on until the Last 18 , I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.

  Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters 19 payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, 20 me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours faithfully,

SIMON ALKER

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) A 上文Cosmo Books Ltd.the Morning Mail作广告销售《莎士比亚全集》,这句是说该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“提供”之意,为最佳选择.

(2) C 引导宾语从句须用从属连词,排除B.其余三个选项中只有what表示“……那样”

(3) B 其后的钱数已表明了全套书的价格.

(4) C 广告在此的意思是这个数目已包含有邮资和包装费,说明价格非常低廉.

(5) B 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,自然看起来非常有吸引力了.

(6) D together with意为“和”、“连同”.这句是说两周后我要的书收到了,此外还有别的东西.

(7) A 这里指所寄的书中还有作者并未订购的《狄更斯全集》,此空填动词 order意为“订购”.

(8) C 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》书款所须的一张15英镑50分的支票.

(9) B 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”.

(10) C 四个选项的副词都可以在句中作插入语.但根据句意,这里是说作者无论如何也付不起将这些书全寄回去的邮费,故此空填However,意为“无论如何”、“不管怎样”,用来加强语气.

(11) B 上文中I could not afford to post all 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took有“拿走”之意,为最佳选择.

(12)  A 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) B 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) D 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) C 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.

(16) C keepstop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.

(17) B room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地受雨淋,可见汽车库里没有空间再存放更多的书.

(18) B the 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) A 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.

(20)  D leave 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.

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从1-10各题所给的A.B.C.和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

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

 

2.                A.equally         B.slightly         C.clearly   D.increasingly

Our holidays were coming to an end but we had not yet realized our plan to drive to Dalat. Our   36   about Dalat with its shining cherry blossoms (花) and scenic views were   37   us to start our journey.

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

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? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
