B。 上文的 impossible 意思是“不可能” ，含有否定含义，故选 anything。4. D。 故事发生在 1952 年，充斥于 London 街道的不会是马车，也不会是卡车或自行车，而是 bike。5. B。 前面的 their 指代的是后面的“the buses
31、and cars” 由此推断出把它们弃之街头的是司机们。6. B。 能和 that 搭配的有 so 和 such，但 such 不能修饰 many。7. C。上文已经提到 one hand, 另一只用 the other hand。8. C。so as to 是一个固定搭配。9. D。 在歌剧院中表演需要看到指挥的是合唱队的歌手们。10. A。 terribly 是副词，而 afraid 是表语形容词，frightened 通常用来形容人，因此选择 terrible 修饰名词 fog。No. 02这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了现在成名的作家 John 小时侯上学的情况。故事形象生动，诙谐有趣。
32、1. A. John 现在成名了，但他小时候可不是好学生。这由句中的连词 and 可以看出来。2. C. 由于 John 不是好学生，因此他经常在上课时迟到。3. D. 根据上下句即可知道这里是一个表示转折的词， but 最合适。4. B. 老师应该是问学生问题，这是一个基本常识。5. C. 根据主语 Jack 可知答案。6.

B.根据题意，这三个人在火车站等火车，当然是在候车室。2. A. 答案就在“The other two men thought about this for a while, then Carl spoke.”这句话中。3. B.短文第二句即是本题的答
34、案。4. D.由 Allan 说的话，可推测出 D 为最佳答案。5. C.“With these words, he turned to the other man, saying, And what about you?”这句话以及后边的回答是解答本题的关键之所在。(B)这是一篇读后让人惊叹不已的故事。象棋大师 Watson 在旅馆时遇到了一个孩子。孩子的母亲请求 Watson与儿子下一盘棋。Watson 很不情愿地答应了。然而下棋过程中，那个孩子漫不经心地，还不时地跑出去和姐姐打网球。让 Watson 考虑之后再叫他。Watson 后来处于僵局，最终也未能挽回。一个年仅十岁的孩子在二十八分
35、钟里就胜了他。他非常佩服。后来，Watson 用这个孩子的棋路获得了一个银杯。作者最后的“I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”这句话可以让人体会到 Watson 的心情，发人深思。6. D。本题需综合考虑下文所回忆的那局输掉的棋方找到答案。7. C。由作者在 “I wasnt too happy. A player likes t
36、he opponent to play as well as he does.”一句中所流露出的感情以及“But it was holiday time and I agreed to play.”等句子的暗示可判断作者根本没有把这个小孩子放在眼中。不难得出正确的答案。8. D。那小男孩即便是在“a quick move, then tennis, back to the board, then back to his sister.”这种情况下还是赢得了这局棋。这说明他的水平是明显高于对方的。9. A。本题难度稍大，但根据作者所表达的情感及“I had a chance to use his
37、 game today, and it won this cup for me.”一句可知 A 是最佳答案。10. B。由“I was beaten. He was the winner- in twenty-eight minutes.”等句子，可明显看出 B 是错误的。句型转换：1.could she 2. how many sheep there were 3. have been sold 4. so, that, couldnt 5. Either ,or 6. Neither she nor 7.
