名師點評

一女士在投稿時為了弄清楚編輯有沒有看自己的稿件，故意將其中三頁粘在一起。稿件被退回時，那三頁依然粘在一起。該女士生氣的質(zhì)問編輯時，對方以一個巧妙的比喻作出了答復(fù)。

答案簡析在下一頁：

1.B。根據(jù)文意，這里應(yīng)選擇一個詞或詞組，修飾可數(shù)名詞，表示“一些”，比較四個選項，只有a few合符條件，為正確選項。

2.D。把某物還給某人，可用give sth back to sb或return sth to sb來表達，細看句子，只有D項正確。

3.A。根據(jù)上下文可知，這個女士在稿件被退還時，看到那三頁依然粘在一起，應(yīng)當(dāng)感到非常惱火，故選angry。

4.A。分析句子，這里應(yīng)選擇一個疑問副詞，在句中作方式狀語，表達“你怎么知道這篇故事不好?”之意，比較四個選項，應(yīng)選How。

5.C。比較主從句中兩個動作的先后關(guān)系，可知從句應(yīng)用before引導(dǎo)。

6.B。比較四個詞，lesson意為“功課，教訓(xùn)”;test意為“檢測，測試”;question意為“問題”;thing意為“事情，東西”。根據(jù)句意，應(yīng)選B。

7.B。句意為“當(dāng)稿件被退回時，那幾頁依然粘在一起”，只有still合乎句意，為正確選項。

8.D。比較四個選項，只有way可用來表示“方式，方法”。 #p#分頁標題#e#

9.C。at breakfast為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“在吃早飯”。

10. D。don’t have to do sth = needn’t do sth 意為“不必干某事”。
