On Wednesday afternoon Annie took the bus into town to shop in the market. For an hour or so she would walk up and down between the stalls looking at everything, buying here and there, and 1 a sharp lookout for the bargains that were something to be haD. And then, with all the   2 she needs bought she would leave the market for the   3 of the town to spend another hour   4 she liked best, looking in furniture-shop windows.
One Wednesday she found a 5 shop full of the most delightful things, with a   6 inviting anyone to walk in and look round without   7 they had to buy something. Annie hesitated a moment   8 stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped   9 before a green armchair. There was a card on the chair which 10 ,“This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week,” and very small at the bottom, “Cash price eighty-nine pounds fifty.” A pound a week …Why, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never   11 it!
A voice at her shoulder made her   12 .“Can I help you, Madam?” She looked   13 at the assistant who had come softly to her 14
“Oh, well, no,” she said, “I was just   15 .”
“We have chairs of all kinds in the   16 . If you"ll just come up, you will find something to 17 you.”
Annie, worried at the thought of being   18 to buy something she didn"t   19 , left the shop   20 .

答案

1-5 DCBAA 6-10 BDBDD 11-15 BAADB 16-20 CACDC

解析

1. D　keep a sharp lookout for是固定短语，意思为：“当心，注视”。
2. C　根据语义，“买完了她所需要的东西”。
3. B　根据下句“looking in furniture-shop windows”可知，她是在逛街。
4. A　有定语从句she liked best 修饰，应该用特指 in the way的形式，意思为：“用她最喜欢的方法”。
5. A　选项 B. noisy和C. large有干扰性，但从该句的信息词found可知，应该选A：new。
6. B　根据文义，在商店门口贴着的应该是广告牌、告示等。
7. D　根据句义“告示邀请人进来看看，不用觉得必须买东西”。
8. B　句义应该是: “她走进去之前，犹豫了片刻”。
9. D　根据下文中There was a card on the chair which said ，“This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week，”可知，她应该是惊喜的停下来。
10. D　上面写着什么，应用say或read。
11. B　根据文中 A pound a week…一句可得出答案：miss。
12. A　make somebody surprised.。B、C两项不合题意，A. jump“(因喜悦、吃惊、紧张等)跃起，跳动，剧跳”。
13. A　根据前句A voice at her shoulder made her…可知，应该选round，look round 掉头看，环顾。
14. D　售货员已走到她面前。
15. B　根据语境可知。
16. C　根

据实际情况，顾客应该去展厅看货物，而不是去储藏室。
17. A　fit是指衣服的大小、尺寸合身。suit是指衣服的颜色、款式适合某人，还可以有更广泛的意思，时间等适合某人，什么东西使某人中意。
18. C A项advised，劝告、建议，对方不一定去干，而persuaded.说服某人干什么，强调结果对方被说服了，此处正是她担心被说服买不需要的东西。
19. D 由18可知答案:need

20. C由上文中worried at…可知，应是匆匆离开商店。

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon① in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices② and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spikane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental③. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.
Notes:
① sermon v. 布道
② sacrifices n. 牺牲
③ sentimental adj. 感伤的
