10、d)了女儿。2A.orBsoCbutDand答案：C此处表示“亲爱的，我很高兴你找到了你喜欢的东西，但是，考虑到油价上涨”前后句之间存在转折关系，故用but。3A.accessibleBavailableCbeneficialDclose答案：D此处指靠近(close to)工作地方的房子。4A.amazementBhesitationCexcitementDconfusion答案：C当作者的女儿告诉作者所有关于那个房子的事情时，作者能从她的声音里听出兴奋(excitement)和喜悦。设空后的“and joy”亦是提示。amazement “惊奇，吃惊”；hesitation “犹豫；踌躇”

12、CmeasurementDplanning答案：Bin ones price range “在某人的价格承受范围以内”。expectation “期望，期待”；measurement “测量，度量”；planning “计划”。作者真的希望自己用了AND这个词，对女儿说：“亲爱的，我很高兴你在你的价格承受范围内找到了一所房子，而且我为你感到高兴。”8A.admitBrecallCdoubtDpromise答案：C此处指作者对自己的说话方式产生了怀疑，doubt “怀疑”，符合语境。admit “承认”；recall “回忆起”；promise “承诺”。9A.emotionsBstruggle

22、ritons Behave Differently From Americans.”可知，众所周知，英国与美国因为使用同一种语言而有诸多相似之处。近日，BBC就刊登了一篇文章，题为“八种情境：英美人的不同表现”。所以设空处既要与上文为转折关系，又要承接下文。故C选项“探寻英美文化间的差异更加有趣”切题。故选C项。2E由“chances are that the victim will say sorry before the other can make his or her own apology”可知，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。所以设空处是条件状语从句，说明如果被撞
23、的碰巧是英国人，他们则很可能会在撞人者开口道歉之前先说“对不起”。故E选项“如果被撞的碰巧是英国人”切题。故选E项。3A由“Britons dont all change into evening dress for supper like what you may have seen in popular TV shows like Downton Abbey. But they do tend to make an effort when going out for dinner somewhere nice. Americans, however, will probably wear
24、a casual shirt to a fancy eatery.”可知，享用晚餐时，英国人虽然不会像热门英剧唐顿庄园中那样人人身着晚礼服，但在去高级餐厅就餐时也会在穿着上颇下一番功夫。而美国人则可能穿一件休闲衬衫就出入高级餐馆。所以本段主要在说晚宴穿什么，也就是设空处本段的标题所要说明的内容。故A选项“晚宴穿什么”切题。故选A项。4F由“When dining out at a restaurant, 4 . They think the food is somehow tainted once theyve poked at it with a knife and fork.”可知，外出就
25、餐时，因为在他们看来食物一旦被刀叉“染指”后便被“玷污”了。所以设空处要补充出主句，也要承接下文。故F选项“英国人不会将剩饭剩菜打包带走”切题。故选F项。5D英国人在告诉司机目的地之后就会秉承全程零交流的原则，由“Even if theyre being taken in a roundabout way”可知，此处指甚至在看见司机绕路时英国人的表现会怎样。故D选项“他们也会一言不发”切题。故选D项。.读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。A man once said how useless it was to put a

30、读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个男人在教堂里丢了一把伞，登了广告仍没找到。一个商人又登了不同的广告语，出现了截然不同的结果。精彩范文This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colours that had been thrown in, and his own was among them. Ma
31、ny of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken just by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.In the view of the businessman, the man who lost the umbrella was honest enough to write his advertisement. “The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No.10 Broad Street.” Ten shillings meant almost nothing and the finder of the umbrella was at the risk of being recognised. No wonder it was useless to put such an advertisement in the newspapers. He believed that the way an advertisement was expressed was very important.
