【题目】Football superstar Lionel Messi is the first player in ________ history to win the Ballon d'Or (金球奖)six times.

— He is hard-working and has a gift ________ football.

A.the; forB./;forC.the; inD./; of

【答案】B

【解析】

句意:——足球巨星梅西是历史上第一位六次夺得金球奖的球员。 ——他工作勤奋,有足球天赋。

考查介词和冠词。gift作“天赋,才能”解时,指在某一方面或领域天生具有的一种才能,是可数名词,其后接for短语作定语。have a gift for:表示有天赋;因此排除C/Din history:为泛指“有史以来,在人类历史上”。in the history是特指某段特定的历史,后面通常会接介词短语“of/among...”表示范围。第一个空的后面没有表示范围的介词短语,因此不用冠词。故选B

【题目】 He was a fine young man, about twenty-five years old, tall and well-built, with a kind face and a nice smile. He had a brown skin, black hair, bright eyes and strong white teeth. I decided to give him the name of "Man Friday", because I first saw him on a Friday.

When he woke up in the morning, he ran out to me. I was milking my goats in the field, and he got down on the ground and put his head near my foot. I understood that he was thanking me for saving him, and I tried to show him that I was his friend.

I began to teach him to speak English, and soon he could say his name. Then he could call me "Master" and say "Yes" and "No". How good it was to hear a man's voice again! When we got to my house, I gave Man Friday some trousers, and I made him a coat and a hat. He liked his new clothes very much. Then I made him a little tent to sleep in, but for a few weeks I always took my gun to bed with me. Perhaps Friday was still a wild man and would try to kill me in the night. At first, Friday was very afraid of my gun. Sometimes he talked to it, and asked it not to kill him.

Friday was a quick learner and his English got better day by day. He helped me with the goats and with the work in the cornfields, and soon we were good friends. I enjoyed teaching him and, most of all, having a friend to talk to. This was the happiest of all my years on the island.
