Answer 1

答案：A;A;C;C;B;D;A;B;D;C;A;C;B;D;B;A;D;C;B;A
解析：

1、by chance意为“偶然”；由于文中告诉我们Henry一贫如洗，所以他不可能by plane。 2、catch sight of是一个固定词组，意为“看到”。catch hold of意为“抓住，握住”，不合句意。 3、think about意为“考虑”；think of意为“想到，想起”；think over意义“仔细考虑”。 4、reach在此处意为“伸手”。 5、从下文中Henry得到百万英磅的叙述即可推知答案。 6、as poor as a church mouse是固定说法，意为“一贫如洗”。 7、the very man = just the man, very是形容词，意为“恰好的，正好的，正是”。 8、not…until是固定句型，意为“直到……才……”。 9、since引导原因状语从句，意为“既然”。 10、Why not do sth. ?是一个常见世面表示建议的句型。 11、at this thought意为“想到这里”。At在此处表示引起某种情绪的原因；thought是句词。 12、注意不可误选A（通过）。 13、上文讲到他吃了肉，喝了啤酒，还有时间，想“再”吃点别的东西；more表示“另外的，其他的”。 14、pay the bill意为“付账，买单”。 15、因为老板担心他付不起钱，吩咐侍者“少”给他上点菜。 16、gentlemen给了Henry钱，Henry“答应”按时拆信。 17、他不敢相信自己的“眼睛”。 18、老板“改变”了说话原语气。 19、whenever = no matter when，意为“不论何时”。 20、suggest在此处意为“建议”。
