3. C 找到存折,還必須找到主人(owner)的相關證件才能取到錢。
4. B 他突然看到了一個身份證,欣喜若狂。To his joy意思為“令人高興的是”。
5. C 與上句構成因果關系,故用so。
6. B 那個clerk接過存折看,hand over意思為“移交,交送”;take over意思為“接過”。
7. D 女士十分驚訝,那是她本人的身份證,astonished意思為“驚訝的,吃驚的”。

12.A 用鎮定的(calm)聲音問小偷,不是警察對小偷似的審問,故用ask“問(一般的問題)”。
13.A go red與turn red中的動詞都是“變得”的意思。這里用作系動詞。

本文是一篇記敘文,文章講述了一位公司老板由于受美國1929年經濟蕭條的影響而遭到破產,在經過妻子的鼓勵后,終于樹立信心,并最終東山再起的故事,文章告訴我們這樣一個道理:多注重自己擁有的東西而不是失去的東西,這樣你就發現自己真的很幸福。
1. C 考查形容詞,根據上文In 1929, the New York stock market collapsed可知在紐約股票市場崩潰,故先問應該是懷著沉重的心情。
2. A 考查動詞用法,這里需要現在分詞做伴隨狀語。
3. D 考查名詞,根據第一段最后一句話“and the manager of a big company came home”可知。
4. B 查查動詞,根據下文“I’m done! I’m finished!”可知破產后應該哭泣,故答案為weep。
5. D what / how about為固定短語,意為“怎樣”。
6. D confused為過去分詞用做形容詞,表示伴隨。
7. A 根據上文His wife asked gently可知。
8. B 根據上文and gazed at her hopelessly.可知他絕望地看著妻子,故斷定他擦去的應該是淚花。
9. B why表示原因,該句意思是“那你為什么說所有的財產都失去了呢?”
10. C hopeful用做定語, 根據句意“你有支持你的妻子和好幾個大有希望的孩子”。
11. A experience意為“經驗”時為不可數名詞,不需要用much,該句意思是“你有豐富的經驗”。
12. C 此處為虛擬語氣。
13. A as for 為固定短語,意為“至于,就……來說”。
14. D 考查代詞用法,該句意思是“錢只是你曾經擁有但現在不再屬于你的一些東西。”
15. C earn money為固定短語,意為“賺錢”。
16. B 這里應該用過去分詞做定語。
17. A 根據上文的對話可知。
18. A 考查名詞,根據第9個空后面的do you say all the properties will be closed down可知應該選財產properties。
19. D 根據上文Do you have intact hands可知與hands對應的為feet。
20. C what是賓語從句的引導詞,在句子中做賓語。☆
