本文是一篇幽默小故事。一个刚刚移民到美国的俄国人不懂英语,在他的商店开业的时候,他挂了一个“开业大吉”的牌子吸引顾客。第二天,他看到一大群顾客都聚集在附近的一家商店,他就模仿这家店牌子上的字做了一个新牌子,挂在自己店门口,牌子上写着“停业”。
【1】句意:一个俄罗斯人移民到了美国。
Russian俄罗斯人;British英国人;Canadian加拿大人;Australian澳大利亚人;根据下文“he could not read English”可知,他不懂英语,英国、加拿大和澳大利亚都是以英语为母语的国家,可以推测他是俄罗斯人。故选A。
【2】句意:一个朋友建议他,为了吸引顾客,应该在商店外放一块醒目的标志牌。
people人们;neighbors邻居;customers顾客;children孩子;根据上文“He decided to open a small shop”可知,他想开一家小商店,那么,他想要吸引的应该是顾客。故选C。
【3】句意:然后他把它放在店外让大家能看到的地方。
in在里面;for为了;at在(表示存在或出现的地点、场所、位置、空间);to朝;他把牌子放在商店的外面是为了让大家都看到,需用介词“为了”for。故选B。
【4】句意:他想知道他们在看什么。
asked询问;looked看;studied学习;wondered想知道;根据“The next day, he saw a big crowd gathered around a nearby shop.”可知他很好奇,想要知道人们在看什么,故用wondered“想知道”。故选D。
【5】句意:虽然他看不懂英语,但他注意到牌子上的字比他的多。
Although虽然;Because因为;Since自从;However然而;此处指“尽管他不懂英语”,前面否定,后面肯定,需要用一个表转折的连词,故选A。
【6】句意:虽然他看不懂英语,但他注意到牌子上的字比他的多。
more更多;many许多;fewer更少;few几乎没有;联系两个广告牌“Grand Opening”和Going Out of …”可知,此处指他注意到那个牌子上的字比他的多,故选A。
【7】句意:“我应该要有个那样的牌子”,他暗自思忖。
spoke说;thought认为,思考;told告诉;talked谈论,说;think to oneself是固定搭配,意为“心里想,暗自思忖”,他看到别人家店前因为这个标志牌吸引了很多顾客,所以他也想有这样的标志牌。故选B。
【8】句意:他写下标志牌上的字,然后回家订了一块新的标志牌。
big大的;bright明亮的;new新的;colorful多彩的;根据上文“I should get a sign just like that one”和下文“the man took down his “Grand Opening” sign. 和placed his new sign”可知,他又做了一个新的广告牌,故选C。
【9】句意:第二天,他取下了他的“开业大吉”,自豪地将新牌子挂上,上面写着“停业”。
carefully细心地;nervously紧张地;silently安静地;proudly自豪地;根据“I should get a sign just like that one,”可知他对自己的决定是满意的,所以他把就标志牌取下来,自豪地换上了新的,觉得这样就能招来客人;故用自豪地proudly。故选D。
【10】句意:第二天,他取下了他的“开业大吉”,自豪的将新牌子挂上,上面写着“停业”。
Style风格;Business生意;America美国;Service服务;根据前面地标志牌“Grand Opening”可知后面他换的广告牌是和它相关的,而且本文是一则幽默故事,故可知他写的是有趣的东西,而“Going Out of Business”,刚好与旧的广告牌意思相反且有幽默感。故选B。
