　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了Mr Brown遇到的一件奇怪的事。

　　1.D. 根据文章第一句话"Mr Brown lived in a small town."可知这里应该用一般过去时态。

　　2.A. suddenly的意思是“突然”；quietly的意思是“悄悄地”；badly的意思是“坏地”，happily则表示“高兴地”。根据当时的情况，Mr Brown发现他后面有人一定是突然发现的。

　　3.C. 根据下句"Mr Brown went faster, and the man walked faster, to."可知Mr Brown 身后的人是跟随他一起行走的。

　　4.B. 根据所给词语的词义what(什么)，when(当……时候)，where(在哪里)，how(怎样)可知答案。

　　5.D. 在肯定句的末尾表示“也”应用too。

　　6.A. Mr Brown 跑进花园的目的是为了甩掉他身后的人，所以这里into比较合理。

　　7.D. 空白处应该是用动词不定式短语(to do what)做宾语，如果用something或anything就会出现宾语重复了。

　　8.A. 根据那个人后面的解释，可知这里用sorry 最佳。

　　9.C. 根据上下句的意思，这里是说那个人要把包还给Mrs King的。因此用give最佳。

　　10.A. 根据主语he可知这里应该填入Mrs King。

(3)_______ a few days, the young man asked him the (4)______ question again. Einstein was very (5)______. He did not say (6)______, but wrote (7)______ words (8)_______ a piece of paper and handed it to the young man. The young man (9)_______ the piece of paper. On it was written: A=X+Y+Z.

　　"What does this mean?" asked the young man.

　　"A means success, " Explained the old scientist. "X means hard work, Y means good methods, and Z means stop (10)_______ and start to work."

　　( )1. A. said B. asked C. told D. spoke

　　( )2. A. is B. are C. were D. may be

　　( )3. A. After B. Before C. For D. Since

　　( )4. A. different B. same C. the same D. the different

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了科学家Einstein 是如何解释成功这一概念的。

　　1.C. 根据所给词语的词义say (说)，ask (问)，tell(告诉)，speak(说语言，发言)可知答案。

　　2.A. 这句话的主语是secret，它是单数形式，因此应该用is即可。

　　3.A. 这里是一个时间的推移，用after表示“在一段时间之后”。

　　4.B. 上次Einstein 已经告诉年轻人成功的秘诀了，这次他肯定是问的同一个问题。所以才会有下文。

　　5.A. 由于年轻人连续问了同一个问题，所以Einstein会有些生气。

　　6.B. 这是anything在否定句中的用法。

　　7.A. few, a few修饰可数名词复数；little, little修饰不可数名词。Few和little带有否定含义；a few和a little带有肯定含义。这里用a few修饰可数名词复数，表示“几个”。

　　8.D. 字应该写在纸的上面。

　　9.D. 只有先看，才能知道纸上所写的内容。

　　10.C. “stop+动名词”表示“停止做某事”；“stop+不定式”则表示“停下来去做某事”。根据这一区别，这里用动名词最佳。

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了窗户的演变过程。

　　1.B. 这是一句主系表结构的句子，而且首句已经告诉我们全文是过去时态。并且这句话的主语是old houses，因此应该用were才对。

　　2.C. 无论多么大的房间，当时就只有一个在房顶上的洞。这里的不定冠词a 带有数量的含义。

　　3.B. 当时的房顶上的洞主要目的是把屋内的做饭产生的烟排放出去。

　　4.A. so as to 是一个固定用法，意思是“目的是”。

　　5.C. 这里的opening是动名词，意思的“开口”。

　　6.D. as…as 结构与原级连用，并且light在这里是不可数名词，所以用as much light as 最佳。

　　7.B. 根据所给词语的词义whether(是否)，weather(天气)，sunny(晴朗的)，smell (气味)可知答案。

　　8.B. 上面这些解释都是关于窗户的来源的，所以这里用why比较合理。

　　9.C. 这里是一句主语为单数的一般过去时的被动语态。

　　10.D. 选择mouth是说窗户不止是eye，而且是mouth。因为它既能吸入新鲜空气，又能将室内污浊的空气排放出去。

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了人与其他动物的本质区别，人有大脑并且有思维 。

　　1.D. after的意思是“在……之后”，if的意思是“如果”，before(在……之前)，because则表示“因为”。这里所表达的是原因，所以用because最佳。

　　2.C. 连词than 提示我们这里是一个比较级，并且是副词的比较级修饰动词understand。

　　3.B. 这里用a few修饰名词words。

　　4.C. as 的意思是“作为……”，about的意思是“关于”，like是“像……一样”，over则表示“在……上面，通过”。动物是不会像人一样进行思考的，这是一个客观事实。所以这里用like比较合理。

　　5.C. no 在这里起形容词作用，修饰后面的名词language。而not是副词，不能直接加名词。

　　6.D. 根据助动词has可知这里是现在完成时态。

　　7.C. 这里的one 不是“一个”的意思，而是带有类别的含义；each和every都表示“每个”，all表示“全部，都”。所以这里用one为宜。

　　8.D. 儿童在很小的时候就学习语言，而动物则不这样。这里用but表示转折。

　　9.A. 关于儿童如何学习语言的问题至今科学家也没有给出明确的答案。所以这里用how 表示方式。

　　10.C. 这里用疑问代词what做主语。

　　题解与分析：

　　这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了机器在现实生活中的应用。

　　1.B. 这是一句明显的被动语态，机器应该是被使用。且程度副词应该用在助动词和实义动词之间。

　　2.C. for表示目的；of表示所属；with表示伴随状况；这里用介词to表示“对于”的含义。

　　3.D. 机器会使我们的工作进行的更快更好,这里是一组比较级的连续使用。

　　4.B. another 表示“多者中的某一个”，the other特指“两者中的另一个”，others 则指“其他的人或物”，other是形容词，意思是“其他的”，后面多加名词复数。

　　5.C. 印刷机的印刷速度是很快的，这里的quick是形容词，quickly是副词。修饰动词应该使用副词，所以这里应该用quickly。

　　6.D. on foot这是一个固定短语。

　　7.B. ago与一般过去时态连用，这里还是被动语态。

　　8.C. 主语是单数，谓语动词应该也用单数；information是不可数名词，不能用复数。

　　9.A. as… as 与之间应该使用原级。

　　10.C. 这里是用动词不定式做状语表示目的。
