16、anceDthesailorswerefondofhisjokesappropriateadj.适当的，合适的，恰如其分的生义：vt.侵吞；挪用；拨(专款等)(1)2,000,000yuanhasbeenappropriatedforthenewschoolbuildings.已拨款200万元为建筑新校舍之用。(2)Theaccountantappropriatedthefirmsmoneyforhisownuse.那名会计挪用了公司的钱财。答案.1.upon；to2.of3.over；into；on4.for；of5as；on6.with；over7.in8.on.1.有些单口喜剧演员讲一些
17、有关人们行为方式或日常生活的笑话。Whatsurprisedmewasnotwhathesaidbuttheway (that/inwhich) hesaidit.2另一个喜剧演员指着电脑网球游戏说：“一个月来我每天都打网球，我就弄不懂为什么我还没瘦下来！”Ourfamilyhavebeenlivinginthisvillageforover30years.3他说这是因为他小时候开始练习单口喜剧时，总是站在镜子前面边刷牙边对自己讲笑话！Hethoughtofanimportantthingwhilewritingaletter.4不管是什么原因，研究表明，英语格言“笑是灵丹妙药”到头来可能是真
18、的。Whateveryoudo，Iwonttellyoumysecret.1.Csuch同样的，如此的，不置于不定冠词与名词之间；与no，some，many，all，one搭配时，常放后再加名词。第二句句意为：就有这么一个人叫比利克里斯托。2D此处live为副词，意为“直播地”；living为形容词，意为“活着的”；alive为表语形容词，意为“活着的，存在的”；lively为形容词，意为“(人等)活泼的”。3Bis后面是that引导的表语从句用来解释说明主语fact，表语从句中又包含一个when引导的时间状语从句。4Dreason用作定语从句的先行词时，如果在从句中作状语，则要使用关系副词w
19、hy引导定语从句，why可省略；第二个空考查that引导的表语从句。The reason (why).is that.为常用句型结构。5C句意为：克里斯托放弃了事先准备好的笑话，编了一个新的。make up编造，杜撰，符合题意。turn up调高(音量等)，露面；put up搭建，张贴；show up出现，露面。6D表示“继续保持或处于某种状态”时，keep，remain与stay都可用。7Binclude强调包括或容纳作为整体的一部分；contain强调包括或容纳之物的全部，也指一个大的容器容纳许多小的事物。refer to与consult后接需要查找的工具书；look up查阅，后接查找的
20、具体内容；look for寻找。8Awoman与name是被动关系，故此处用过去分词短语作后置定语，相当于定语从句：who was named Gracie。9B此处pass away表示“去世，亡故”，符合题意。pass by经过，(时间)过去；pass down使世代相传，流传；pass through经过，路过。10D此处it用作形式宾语，指代when引导的从句。.C推理判断题。文章开始说“Fred Allen是美国伟大的喜剧演员”，之后说“早在1936年，他就拥有约2 000万无线电听众”，由此可知“他很受欢迎”。2C推理判断题。由文章第二段可推知答案为C项。versatile多才多艺的。3D细节理解题。由文章第三段“the Worlds Worst Juggler”可知答案为D项。4D细节理解题。由文章第五段最后两句可知答案为D项。
