A.lacking;in order to B.lack;so that
C.lack;so as to D.lacking;so that

A.happily and satisfied
B.eager and excitedly
C.happy and satisfied
D.anxiously and excitedly

4It______ a calm head to find the best solution to such a difficult problem within a short time.
A.costs B.takes

5The ______ on his face told me that he was angry.

1A.overhearing B.writing
C.listening D.noticing

答案:A
2A.hungry B.dirty
C.thirsty D.poor
解析:上文提到hungrily,故这里选A项,指看上去饥饿的孩子。dirty“脏的”;thirsty“渴的”;poor“贫穷的”,都不合文意。
答案:A
3A.smelling B.feeling
C.admiring D.enjoying
解析:从后文的They look good可知,这里的意思是:我在看这些绿豆,它们看起来很新鲜。smell“闻起来”;feel“摸起来”;enjoy“欣赏,喜欢,享受”,皆不符合上下文。

C.four D.many
解析:从上文知,米勒先生让小男孩把绿豆带回家,下次来的时候带上红色的弹子让他看看。故这里米勒太太告诉我:在我们这个社区,还有两个像Barry一样的男孩。文章倒数第二段中也提到三个男孩,故还有两个,选B项。
答案:B
8A.hungry B.rich
C.poor D.dirty
解析:从上文可知Barry家里穷,故选C项。hungry“饥饿”,只能表示一时的状态;dirty“脏的”,文章中没有信息。
答案:C
9A.talk B.sell
C.trade D.bargain
解析:我丈夫喜欢和他们讨价还价,用豆或别的什么农产品换他们的弹子。从这里我们也可以看到米勒先生的善良和良苦用心。bargain“讨价还价”;trade“做生意,做买卖”。

C.opening D.closing
解析:孩子们哭了。wipe their eyes“擦眼泪”。
答案:A
16A.enjoyed B.admired
C.appreciated D.hated
解析:这三位年轻人就是那三个小男孩。显然他们很感激米勒先生为他们所做的一切。米勒先生用讨价还价的方式保护了孩子们的自尊心,同时又帮助了他们。现在孩子们长大了。appreciate“感激,欣赏”;admire“羡慕”;enjoy“享受,喜欢”。
答案:C
17A.money B.debt

Nowadays,with_the_development_of_the_Internet,there_came_a_kind_of_language_called_Web_language.Some people even speak Chinese mixed with English words.This is a phenomenon which is worth thinking about.
Some people think it kind of ridiculous.In their opinion,it makes no sense in helping people learn English.Besides,it will ruin the Chinese language.However,others,especially the youngsters,are fond of this new language.They think it of special help in expressing themselves.What's more,it may make the language more versatile.
In my opinion,it's not good to use this kind of language.It may be fashionable as some think,but you may also get your ideas confusing,leaving the other person at a loss to your meaning.Of course,the kind of Web language sometimes may be very expressive.
