9、观”。3. A由于人们仅凭外观购买钢笔,“一旦”开始使用,就想知道为什么对它不满意。4. D人们常常对购买的钢笔不满意,可是,如果你记住以下几点,买一支称心如意的钢笔并不“困难”。5. B首先,钢笔握在手中应该非常舒服而且“容易”使用。使用钢笔一般不涉及安全问题,所以D项错误。6. C钢笔的粗细是“决定”舒适度的最重要的特征。其他选项不符合语境。7. D此处与上一句中的small是反义词,且与a fatter pen相照应,所以用larger。8. A如果你的手比较大,手指比较粗,你可能“更喜欢”比较粗大的钢笔。9. B上文讲的是钢笔的粗细与其舒适度密切相关,此处是说钢笔的长度也会影响舒适度,
10、由此可知选B。10. C此处讲的是钢笔的长度问题。太“长的”钢笔容易感觉头重脚轻并且不稳定。11. B当钢笔接触到纸面时,笔尖应该能够让墨水均匀地流出来。此处allow“允许,使可能”,符合语境。12. C此处的This指代上一句中提到的内容。13. D流畅的笔尖可以让你写出“流畅的”线条。前三项都与上文中提到的均匀出墨在逻辑上不符。14. A笔尖应该能够让钢笔书写的时候均匀地出墨;也应该足够敏感,当钢笔停止书写被提起的时候,可以“阻止”墨水流出。15. C不能阻止墨水“流出”的笔尖可能留下墨滴。此处与本段第11空后面的flow相呼应。16. B当你拿起钢笔,再次放下的时候,不能阻止墨水流出的
11、笔尖就会流出墨滴。as表示“当时候”。17. D结合第二段中的“First of all”以及第三段中的“Then”可知此处表示的是先后顺序,所以选择D项。18. D本句中的but表示的是转折含义,由此可知前半句叙述的是细线条钢笔的好处,这样的钢笔也许可以“弥补”拙劣的书法,故用D项表示“弥补”。A项表示“使显示出,出现”;B项表示“不同于”;C项表示“打破,分解”,都不符合语境。19. A但是,纤细的线条不能引起别人的“注意”,attention表示“注意”。此处与本段最后一句中的“gives an impression of confidence and authority”相呼应。20.
12、 B此处是用打印书信上的手写签名作为例证。A项表示“至多”;C项表示“简单地说”;D项表示“故意”,都与所给语境不符。.阅读理解A national memorial service was held on April 21,2010 for those killed in the 7.1 magnitude quake that struck Yushu, Qinghai Province, the State Council announced.On April 21, flags flew at halfmast nationwide including in Chinas embass
