解析:“Ittakessbsometimetodosth”为固定结构,含义是“某人花费(一段)时间做某事”。
2.A.hardly 答案:A
B.almost C.nearly D.mostly
解析:由下一段第一句中的“...hehadsolittletosay”可知,他说话很少。hardly表示“几乎不”;almost表示“几乎”;nearly表示“几乎”;mostly表示“大多数”。 3.A.say B.speak C.tell D.talk 答案:C
解析:由空前的“stories”可知此处用动词tell,tellstories意为“讲故事”。
4.A.puzzling B.interesting C.exciting 答案:A
解析:由上一句
“Hadhishome,hislife,thewarandsoonleftnomarkatallonhim?”是个问句可知,这一切都让作者感到迷惑不解。因此应用puzzling。 5.A.in B.up 答案:C

C.out D.with D.wondering
解析:由第四段16空前的“Ourplane”可以判断出这次作者是乘飞机前往。
7.A.it B.that C.which 答案:C
解析:此处用which引导非限制性定语从句。it和this不能引导定语从句,that不引导非限制性定语从句。 8.A.book B.mirror 答案:A

on“在……上面”;above“在……上方”;over“通过,在……之上”;in“在……里”。 12.A.success C.fear 答案:A
解析:因为and连接并列成分,所以由句意以及and后面的power可以想到此处应该选择一个和power意义相近的词,即success。
13.A.something B.anything C.nothing 答案:A
解析:or和something连用,意思是“或诸如此类的事物”。而anything,everything和nothing没有该用法。 14.A.taught B.had C.gave 答案:A
解析:teachsbsth的含义是“教会某人某事”,本句中表示“这件事情教会他做出决定的能力”。have意为“有”;give意为“给”;show意为“展示”,均不合句意。 15.A.open-mouth B.opened-mouth C.open-mouthed D.opening-mouth 答案:C
D.showed
D.everything B.sadness D.failure
解析:形容词open-mouthed意为“目瞪口呆的”。其他几个词的构成都是错误的。
