【解析】本文为小说节选。本文节选于马克吐温的《百万英镑》,文章以其略带夸张的艺术手法再现大师小说中讽刺与幽默,揭露了20世纪初英国社会的拜金主义思想。
【1】考查不定冠词。此处泛指“一个美国商人”,American是元音音素开头的词,应使用不定冠词an。故填an。
【2】考查非谓语动词。find sb. done“发现某人被……”,此处指“他发现自己被一阵强风带到了大海上”。carry与himself为逻辑动宾关系,此处应使用过去分词。故填carried。
【3】考查被动语态。根据空后的by a ship可知,此处指“他被一艘轮船发现了”。故填was spotted。
【4】考查介词搭配。词组:by accident“偶然地、意外地”。句意:所以他意外地在伦敦登录了。故填by。
【5】考查定语从句。此处为定语从句,先行词为a mansion,连词在从句中作地点状语,应使用关系副词。故填where。
【6】考查介词搭配。根据语境可知,此处指Oliver和Roderick给了他一封信,告诉他在那一天的两点之间不要打开它。故填till/until。
【7】考查非谓语动词。know与主句主语之间为逻辑主谓关系,应使用ing形式;根据语境可知,Herry不知道信里面是一张一百万英镑的支票,他去了一家便宜的餐馆去填饱肚子。故填Not knowing。
【8】考查名词单复数。rag的复数表示“破烂的衣服”。句意:每个人都对他很粗鲁,因为他穿着破烂的衣服,看上去很消沉。故填rags。
【9】考查固定词组。try one’s best to do“尽最大努力去做……”。故填to please。
【10】考查词性转化。句意:你不认为这是世界上最难以置信的故事吗?故填unbelievable。
