16、成果。我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满了陶器，而且大部分都已破碎。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买下来。古董商漫不经心看了
17、一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。四：语法填空练习According to a review of evidence in a medical journal,runners live three years 1(long) than non-runners.You dont have to run fast or for long 2(see) the benefit.You may drink,smoke,be overweight and still redu

20、g is cheap,easy and its always 9(energy).If you are time poor,you need run for only half the time to get the same benefits as other sports,so perhaps we should all give 10 a try.参考答案：1.longer考查比较等级。根据后面的than可知,所填的词要用比较级。2.to see考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词作目的状语,所以用动词不定式。3.dying考查非谓语动词。of是介词,后接动词时要用动词-ing形式
21、。4.is考查时态和主谓一致。句子的主语是it,时态是一般现在时,所以填is。5.than考查连词。根据前面的more effective可知,句子是比较结构,所以填than。6.that/which考查定语从句。先行词是a study,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以填that/which。7.causes考查名词复数。cause是可数名词,根据前面的修饰语all可知,该名词要用复数形式。8.strengthen考查非谓语动词。空格前的to是动词不定式的符号,所以此处用动词原形。9.energetic考查形容词。根据前面的is可知,所填的词要用形容词形式。10.it/running考查代词。根据句意可知,所填的词代替上文提到的running,所以用it。也可以直接填running。
