Answer 1

1--  20      DCBAA    BDBDD   BAADB   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。
