　　2. F 由文章可知老人并没有用刀杀死国王。所以本句是错误的。

　　Passage 4

　　本文记叙了一名著名的作家，用英语滔滔不绝地为日本学生讲了个有趣的故事，结果翻译却灵机一动只用一两句话就让一群日本学生大笑。其含意耐人寻味。

　　1. C 本文考查固定搭配的用法：give a talk意为“做报告”。

　　2. B 结合上下句的意思是：“大多数学生不懂英语，所以他必须得有个翻译”。表示“必须，不得不做某事”应用“have to”的相应形式。

　　3. A 此空需一个连词，承接上下文。所给的选项中，只有A符合题意。

　　4. C 本句考查动词时态的用法。在as soon as 引导的时间状语从句中，如果主句是一般将来时，或含有祈使句的话，那么从句必须用一般现在时。

　　5. A 本句考查是固定短语的用法。“tell a story”是“讲故事”的意思。

　　6. A 本句的大意是“这个故事太有趣了，以至于他忘记了……”。

　　7. A every 是形容词，作定语修饰名词。本短语的意思是“每两、三句话”。其他选项都不符合题意。

　　8. C stop to do sth.意思是“停下正在做的事情，去做另一件事情”；stop doing sth.则是“停止正在做的事”。由句意可知C 项符合题意。

　　9.D 本句的意思是“最后他停下来，让翻译来把他讲的译成日语”。所以选D项合题意。

　　1.He was very angry with the old man and was quite worried about himself.他对这老人很生气并且对自己的情况也很担心。(见Line 9, Passage 3)。

　　句中的angry with sb.意为“对某人生气”；angry at sth.则是“对某事生气”。如：The teacher was very angry with him at that thing.老师对他的那件事很生气。

　　2.“Can you tell me how you made that long story into such a short Japanese one?”“你能告诉我你是怎样使那么长的故事变成一小段日语的呢？”(见Line 9—10, Passage 4)

　　本句是一个由how引导的宾语从句，从句中make sth. into ...意思是“使……变成……”。如：Do you know how glass is made into a glass? 你知道玻璃是怎样制成玻璃杯的吗？
