13、 be_.ACharlie ChaplinBChaplin and A flyCHow Many FliesDFlyswatter参考答案一、1. overcomes 2. entertainment 3. performer 4. homeless 5. worse 6. convinced 7. star8. directed 二、 1. Bentertain意为“使欢乐”，由于主句的主语my husband与entertain之间存在主动关系，所以应用现在分词短语entertaining the kids with toys作伴随状语。 2. Btake out“拿出”；pick out
14、“挑出，辨认出”；look out“当心，小心”；speak out“大胆地说，大声说”。由句意“这张像片拍摄于很久以前。我想知道你能否辨认出我的父亲”可知答案为pick out。 3. Bboring“令人厌烦的”，多用来修饰事情；bored“厌烦的”，多用来修饰人。4. B词组rid sb of sth的含义是“使某人摆脱某事物”；get rid of是“摆脱，除去”的含义；overcome表示“克服”。此处表示“你不能完全摆脱恐惧，但某些情况下你可以克服某些恐惧”。5. Bbe convinced of表示“相信”；effect常和介词on连用，表示“对的影响”。6. Bcut out表
15、示“删去，切去”，cut down表示“削减，砍倒”，cut up表示“切碎”，cut off表示“切断，断绝”。此处应用cut down表示“削减三分之一的家庭开支”。 7. Bup to now的含义是“到目前为止”，多用于现在完成时态。therefore是副词，意思是“因此”；thanks to是介词短语，不能单独使用；these days的含义是“这些天，近来”。 8. C老师让学生坐直认真听他讲课。单词straight可作副词，意思是“直地”，没有straightly这种形式。而direct和directly则表达“直接”的含义。 9. A动词content的含义是“使满意”，常和介
16、词with连用。动词satisfy和content是同义词，也和with连用；而meet作“满足”讲时，之后不接人作宾语。 10. Bworse off“更糟糕的”；better off“境况更好的”。由第二句“You can turn to.”可知此处应用well off的比较级better off。 三、 1. forwith 2. 在him后加to 3. downoff 4. out himhim out 5. badbadly 四、 1. Up to now，I havent heard from him yet.2. When he was a child，his family wa
17、s badly off. 3. This old man feels very content with his present life.4. I have picked out the film I want to see.5. He feels as if he were cut off from the outside world.五、 1.B推理判断题。由整篇文章来看，卓别林解释的把苍蝇拍放下的原因是落在桌子上的苍蝇不是刚才那只，由此可推出，他是个有趣的人。2D细节考查题。由第一段第一句中的“a fly flew into the room and kept flying around the great actors head”可知这只苍蝇让他心烦。3A推理判断题。由朋友的问话“你为什么不把它打死？”可知，朋友对他的举动感到惊讶。4C细节考查题。卓别林说这两只苍蝇不是同一只苍蝇。5B标题选择题。本文主要讲述的是卓别林打苍蝇的故事，因此B项是最佳答案。
