One evening, long after most people had gone to bed, a friend of mine and I happily home through the street. We had been to a music-hall and about the people we had seen and heard in it.
“The show him a star overnight, ” said my friend about one of them. “He was completely before. And now thousands of people him gifts and letters. ” “I thought him quite good, ” I said , “ but not thousands of letters . As a matter of , one of his songs gave me a shock. It was too noisy. ” “What was that?” my friend asked me, “ it to me .” I began to sing. “Do be quiet. You will give everybody a shock and them up for miles , besides, there will be a policeman us. ” My friend gave me a surprised look.
“Never mind. I don’t care. What is the matter?” I said and went on singing the top of my voice .
Suddenly there came a policeman, in front of me , his notebook . “ , sir ,” he said , “You have a very good voice , if I say so . Who taught you singing? I’d very much to find someone who can give my daughter singing lessons. Would you be to tell me your name and address? Then my wife and I would you and we could discuss it .”

解析
试题分析：一天晚上，在听完一场音乐会后，作者和朋友走在静谧的大街上，聊着音乐会上的见闻。当谈到某位歌星时作者即兴模仿，大声唱了起来。而他的歌声竟然引来了一名拿着本子的警察。但出人意料的是，警察要求记下作者的电话和地址，却是为他女儿求师学唱。
小题1: A动词辨析。A. 去；B. 来；C. 行进；D. 迷路。根据下文We had been to a music-hall可知作者和朋友是看完音乐会后回家，go home“回家”，所以答案选A．
小题2:D形容词辨析。A. 平静； B.拥挤；C.沉默；D. 安静。由上文long after most people had gone to bed可知此时已经是深夜，由此推测大街上是安静的，故答案选D。
小题3: B动词辨析。A. 思考； B. 交谈；C. 知道 ；D.讨论。根据下文两人的对话内容可知此时他们在谈论当晚的见闻，所以选B。
小题4:D动词辨析。A呼喊 ；B. 转弯；C.命名；D.使，制造。由下文可知他们谈论的人以前不出名，而是由于一次演出而一夜成名，make sb sth “使某人成为……”；而call/ name sb sth意思是“称某人……”，故正确答案为D。
小题5:D形容词辨析。A. 著名；B. 健忘；C. 陌生；D. 无名的。根据completely和下文And now thousands of people……可知此处强调现在和以前的对比，由此推测他以前是没有名气的，故答案选D。
小题6:C动词辨析。A.展示；B. 写；C.送；D. 带来。从情理可知人们会给名人写信或者送他们礼物，send sb sth “送给某人某物”，故答案选C。
小题7:B形容词辨析。A. 值得的；B. 值得的；C. 收到的； D. 可接受的。根据前面“I thought him quite good, but not…… ”可知此空应该和good并列，做thought的宾补，排除C、D选项。再根据作者下面的评论It was too noisy.可知作者认为这名歌手不值得人们那么的追捧，所以用worth sth“值得……”，故答案选B。
小题8:A考查短语。固定短语：as a matter of fact“事实上，实际上”，答案选A。
小题9:B动词辨析。A.读 B. 唱；C. 说；D. 告诉。根据下文I began to sing.可知作者应朋友的要求开始唱歌，所以答案选B。
小题10: C动词辨析。A. 叫喊 ；B. 捡起；C. 醒来；D. 加入。call up“给某人打电话”；pick up“接人，捡起”； wake sb up“把人喊醒，叫醒”。由上文可知此时已是深夜，所以朋友让作者小声唱的原因是怕把人们吵醒，故答案选C。
小题11: C副词辨析。A. 长；B. 在外；C. 在周围； D.在里面。由情理可知在寂静的夜晚大的声音会把周围的人们吵醒，故答案选C。
小题12:D介词辨析。 A. 注意；B. 在……后；C. 包括； D.在……前面。根据下文there came a policeman, in front of me可以判断警察是在作者前面，答案选D。
小题13:D介词辨析。A. 带有；B. 在上面；C.在里面； D.在。on (the) top of表示一个东西直接放在另一个东西上面（顶部）。 at the top of意为“在…上端（上部）”“在…顶端”而 at the top of one’s voice意思是“以某人最大的音量，大声地”，由此判断D选项正确。
小题14:C动词辨析。A. 站；B.去；C. 站； D. 走。根据语境可知警察手里拿着笔记本站到了他们面前，此处是现在分词做状语，所以答案选C。
小题15:C形容词辨析。A. 关着；B. 关着；C. 开着 ；D.不见了。由下文tell me your name and address可知警察想要记下作者的电话和地址，由此推断他手里的笔记本是敞着，选C。
小题16:D短语辨析。A. 稍等；B. 停止唱歌；C. 对不起；D.打扰了。从情理可知当打扰别人的时候要说Excuse me，故答案选D。
小题17:A动词辨析。A. 可以；B.喜欢；C. 必须；D. 不。Like to do sth 或doing sth，排除B选项；而由下文可知警察是真的认为作者嗓音好， If I may say so “如果我可以这样说”使所讲内容显得更中肯、委婉，所以答案选A。
小题18:C动词辨析。A. 喜欢；B. 想要；C. 喜欢； D.渴望。固定短语would like to do “想要做某事”，答案选C。句意：我非常想找一个能给我女儿上歌唱课的人。
小题19:B形容词辨析。 A. 勇敢的；B. 足够友好；C. 愿意 ；D. 诚实。由语境可知警察想要记下作者的电话和地址，应该是礼貌地提出请求，所以用kind enough表示语气的委婉礼貌，符合语言习惯，故答案选B。
小题20: D动词辨析。A. 尝试；B. 顺便来访；C. 邀请；D. 拜访。前句提到要作者留下他的电话和地址，由此推断警察这样做的目的应该是为了去拜访他，故答案选D。 |

Visiting the hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his . “It can be cold in any phase of the , from new to full and back to new again. It is the wind that brings the cold, from west or north or east. Therefore, in a way, you are both right! And neither of you is by the other.
