4.But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions.

　　 (44) A. out B. for C. up D. upon

　　 解析：此题要求考生区别有关call动词的几个短语的意思。call upon / on sb. to do sth.“号召某人做某事”；call out译为“招呼某人出来”；call for“要求”；call up“打电话给……”；而本句的意思“号召我们去做决定”应选D。

　　 ●锦囊妙计

　　 结合上下文，把握文意，研读细节，准确认识语境，才能做好这类题目。不以单纯的词汇辨析或语法角度去做题，以能否表达文意，作为选择答案的标准。

　　 常考虑的搭配有：介词与动词、动词与副词、介词与副词、动词与名词、介词短语、动词短语、名词词组、动词。

3. Here’s a fellow who just 28 into a bank and helps himself 29 so much money.

　　 (28) A. walks B. looks C. marches D. drives

　　 (29) A. for B. to C. by D. of

　　 解析：第28题选A。walk into “走进……”，look into “向……里看，调查”，march行军；drive into“开进……”，从上文可知，持枪人闯进了银行，并拿走了钱，故排除了B项；C项是“行军”的意思，不符合题意；从下文中又知此人劫了一辆车，说明持枪人没有开车来，故排除D项。

　　 第29题选B。“help oneself to sth.”惯用法。在这里是“擅自去取”的意思。

　　 (47)A. couldn’t help B. shouldn’t burst out

　　 C. stopped D. kept

　　 解析：第47题选A。 “观看的人都禁不住笑了起来”“can’t help doing”禁不住……

　　 e.g.I couldn’t help laughing when I saw the funny performance.

　　 第50题选D。 out of step 译为“步调不一致”“out of order”“没顺序，乱七八糟”;out of mind“心不在焉”。

1. Every morning she would give him breakfast 29 bed and bring him the papers to 30.

　　 (29) A. to B. at C. in D. by

　　 (30) A. check B. read C. keep D. sense

　　 解析：第29题选C。 这道题考查考生对介词具体用法的掌握。in bed“在床上”，名词表示其功能不加冠词。例如：in hospital, in prison, go to school等。

　　 第30题选B。此题为四星级题。在此“read the papers”是“读报”的意思，A、C、D不符合意思，从上文推断Mrs. Fant对儿子疼爱有加，give him breakfast in bed and bring him the papers to read. paper当“纸”讲时，不可数，“a piece of paper”,但“papers”表示“论文、试卷”。
