17、次飞行用了多长时间?答案.1.D前面提到“spent a few weeks in Sweden”,所以这里应表示当他准备回家时。be about to do相当于be going to do。2C强调仅有足够的钱买返回英国的船票。3D选decide表示仔细考虑后断定只有两天的航程他可以不吃东西回家。4Bas表示原因,意为“因为”。5B上文提到只有买票的钱,所以应是不吃东西,下文也提到不吃饭。6Cwith表示用他仅有的那一点钱买了一张回家的船票。7C此处表示不听午饭的铃声。sound表示“一般的声音”;voice则表示“人说话的声音”;noise表示“噪音”。8D表示午饭时间到了,应用came
18、;而reach和get主要表示“到达某地”。9Dwhere引导定语从句修饰place,并且关系副词where在从句中作状语。10B表示“说”他感到不舒服,后面有说的内容,不能用speak。11A表示“舒服;身体好”,应用well,这时well是形容词,作表语。12Bnot.until.意为“直到才”。13C“在午饭时间”应用at lunch time。14D根据下文意思可知,应选however表示转折。15Aso.that.句型表示“如此以至于”。16Bstand在此意为“忍受”。17C表示找东西“吃”。18D根据上文可知他非常饿,所以应表示他吃掉了放到他面前的一切东西。19A表示吃饱了,非常
19、满意。20C根据服务员所说的话可知服务员很惊讶,所以应选in surprise。.1.A根据第二段第二、四句以及倒数第二段最后一句可知,Stephen最初对自己没有信心,怕通不过考试,故选A项。2A由倒数第二段第二句“Still,he managed to pass most of his courses by.breaking down his studying into bitesized parts.”可知。3B根据第三段可知,作者告诉Stephen “made a master calender.so they could plan their workload”,故选B项。4A由第四段、第五段的内容可知选A项。5BB意为“每次咬一口”,此处指把学习任务合理安排,每次完成一点儿,符合文意;A项意为“良好的开端是成功的一半”。C项意为“欲速则不达”;D项意为“三思而后行”,三项均不符合文意。故选B项。
