[参考答案]
The_mouse_is_a_most_effective_device_used_by_people_to_communicate_with_a_computer.
For most people, it’s almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet. A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling the screen. With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit text, browse web pages and download what we want. It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games. Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse.
A convenient tool can certainly make our work easier, but it doesn’t always help in a positive way. Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing. Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth. Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically.

C. buy for D. sold for
解析:spend...on后面接花费金钱或时间的事物,而不是接多少钱;pay for后面也是接付钱而买的东西,so much money只能作spend, pay的宾语,D项形式不对;buy可以用作buy sth. for some money,意为“花多少钱买……”。
答案:C

A. in the eye of B. in the eyes of
C. at the eyes of D. in their eyes
解析:in the eyes of sb.(in sb.’s eyes)意为“在某人的心目中;在某人看来”。句意为:他救了一个男孩,所以在当地人的心目中他是一个英雄。

Ⅲ.句型归纳
1.I offer ten times the money that Antonio has borrowed.我愿出十倍于安东尼奥借的钱。

A is 3 times as big/high/long/wide/deep as B
A是B的3倍大/高/长/宽/深
A is 3 times bigger/higher/longer/wider/deeper than B
A比B大/高/长/宽/深3倍,即A是B的4倍大/高/长/宽/深
[注]times表示三倍或三倍以上的数,两倍用twice或double。

A. as three times many
B. more than three times
C. three times more than
D. three times as many

答案:D
2.It’s useless trying to argue with Shylock.试图同夏洛克争论是没有用的。
该句中it为形式主语,真正的主语是trying to argue with Shylock。这是一个动名词短语,英语中常见的类似结构还有:

There’s no use doing sth.做某事没有用
It’s no good doing sth.做某事没益处
There’s no good doing sth.做某事没益处
It is no use ______ for a doctor. It’s too late.
A. send B. sending
C. sent D. having sent
解析:在“It is no use...”句式中,use后跟动名词形式,it is也可换用there is。疑问句则用any,不用no;动名词前可以用人称代词或物主代词。如:It’s no use you (your) talking to her; let me do it.你同她谈没有用,我来同她谈吧。Is it/there any use trying to phone him?给他打个电话有用吗?
答案:B
