　　這篇短文講述了作者是如何計劃一個短暫的假期，去山里天氣太冷，而且假期又短，所以她決定去附近的海邊度假。

　　答案簡析

　　A。 根據下文的I can work at home all the rest of the time 可判斷這里是at home。意思是“我家里有許多事要做”。

　　C。 a good chance to do it 這里的to do it是不定式做后置定語

　　B。 “度假”應用動詞spend。

　　C。 go south/north/west/east to somewhere意為朝著（東南西北）方向去某處。

　　B。 everything there was beautiful 說明那兒的一切都很美。

　　D。 too…to…為固定結構，意思是“太……而不……”。

　　A。 因為decide后面的賓語從句不缺任何成分，故用 that 來引導陳述句賓語從句。

　　B。

　　A。 do want 表強調，意思是“我”真的很想去度假。整篇文章時態是以現在時為主，故wanted不可選，其它兩個選項無此用法。

　　D。along the seashore意思是“沿著海邊”。

　　C。 在陽光下應該用in ，而不是under。

　　A。 in和一段時間連用表示將來，而after只有和點時間連用可表示將來。

　　C。 think over意思是“仔細考慮”。

　　C。 根據后面的than可知這里應用比較級better。

　　B。 根據第一小節作者覺得這個時候去山里不合適，所以這里應選mountains。

　　本文講解的是關于世界上最快的客機——協和式飛機（CONDORDE）的發展史。３３年的歷史、英法聯手打造、耗資十多個億、兩倍于聲速……無一不使人們嘆為觀止。

　　答案簡析

　　C。本句如選invented或 produced，得用被動語態，took off是“起飛”的意思，這里意指“它第一次飛行是在……”因此，用flew最為恰當。

　　A。both…and …是固定短語，為“……兩者都”的意思。

　　B。根據文意，“兩個國家都有造超聲波飛機的夢想”，而不是“談話”、“會議”、或“戰斗”。

　　A。work on sth.意為“致力于……”。

　　D。cost“耗資”。paid，wanted的主語應是人，needed指根據計劃需要耗資等的數量，cost本身就表示花費成本的數量。

　　B。voice意為“嗓音”；noise意為“噪音”；shout意為“大叫聲”；speed of sound意為“聲速”。

　　B。固定短語it takes sb. some time to do sth.

　　D。because 后面是一個名詞性詞組，所以用because of 意為“由于……的原因”。本句意為“由于英、美之間的五個小時的時間差”。

　　A。根據上下文之間的聯系，意為“你坐協和式飛機從London到New York，有可能已經到了New York，而還沒離開London。（這是由于時差）。

　　C。catch the flight 意為“趕上某次航班”。

　　C。下文省略了“than in London”。

　　B。“每架飛機”，只有用each，其他都不對。

　　A。so far “到目前為止”，本句意為“到目前為止，已造出二十架飛機”

　　D。通過上下文可知，這兩個機場所擁有的協和式飛機最多。

　　C。本句的主語是they，而each只是同位語，所以不可用has，have一般不用進行時態，所以不可選D。

　　at all.”

　　店主看到來住店的客人的包，認為里面有許多錢，于是便想占為己有，他們夫妻二人想出一個辦法，把健忘草拌在客人的飯里想讓其第二天起來時忘記去尋找自己的包，可是客人卻在第二天一早就離開了，連住宿費都忘了付。店主夫妻害人不成反害了自己。弄清故事的情節發展是做好本題的關鍵。

　　答案解析

　　1. D。本句考查的是時態，該動作發生在下文 said的前面，表“過去的過去”，因此用D，而C表示的是狀態。

　　2. B。此為情態動詞表示猜測在there be句型中的運用。

　　3. A。let’s 后跟動詞原行，代詞要放在動詞和副詞構成的詞組中間。

　　4. D。let’s引導的祈使句，其反意疑問句為shall we。

　　5. C。包沒了，當然會尋找（look for）。

　　6. B。下文minutes為可數名詞復數，此句為肯定句，故選 a few。A項表示否定含義，C、D都修飾不可數名詞，前者表否定，后者表肯定。

　　7. A。why not do sth.為why don’t you do sth.的省略形式，表示建議。

　　8. A。條件狀語從句中，主句是將來時，從句則用一般現在時。

　　9. B。forget doing sth. 表示忘記做過某事了，forget to do sth表示忘記了要去做某事；take與下文的away構成固定短語，表示拿走。

　　10. C。那個客人吃的是拌有健忘草的飯。with表示具有、伴隨。

　　11. A。find the door open, 發現門是開著的，這里open是形容詞作賓語補足語。
