分析 本文主要介绍史密斯先生退休后,想住在安静的地方,于是买了一套房子,但是到此地方游玩的游客,误以为史密斯的住处是一个景点,从而使史密斯家变得不再安静,最终史密斯先生决定卖房.
解答 41.C 考查名词:根据第一段最后一句He _____ it and hoped to live a quiet life in this house.意思是他希望在这个房子里过上安静的生活,所以可以判断出本句he bought a small _____ in a village near the sea.的含义应该是他在海附近的村庄买了一套小房子,故本题选房子的单词house,故本题选C.A 公园;B 商店;D学校.
42.A 考查动词:根据后句的意思他希望在这房子里过上安静生活,那么可以判断出本句表示的意思应该是喜欢这所房子,意思较符合的为A喜欢,B hate讨厌,C sold买,D built建造,BCD意思与文意不符,故本题选A.
43.B 考查形容词:许多游客度假的时候到此处来看他的房子,那么他的房子是最有趣的才符合文意,interesting的最高级是the most interesting,故本题选B.A 大的;C 小的;D 干净的.
44.D 考查名词:根据第二段第一句many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays,可知本句From morning to night there were ______ outside the house.的含义是从早到晚,房子里有许多游客,故本题选游客的单词tourists,故本题选D.A 孩子;B学生;C 父母.
45.C 考查代词:人们对史密斯家的房子好奇,既然是有人甚至去他家的花园看一看,AB表示否定意思,故不选,much修饰不可数名词,故不选,many可以修饰可数名词,或代指可数名词,所以本题选C.
46.B 考查动词:根据后句he was wrong.More and more visitors came.可知史密斯先生是不想让游客到他家的房子里来,是想让游客离开他家的房子,故本题选离开的单词leave较符合文意,故本题选B.A 来;C 待;D 玩.
47.A 考查动词:表示想做某事可用want to do,satisfy是动词满足的意思,故本题选A.
48.B 考查动词:本题后半句表示转折,意思为越来越多的人来参观他的房子,所以本句的含义是史密斯先生认为游客不会到他的房子里来,stop doing sth表示不做某事或停止做某事,故本题选B.A 继续;C 继续;D 不.
49.C 考查动词:Mr.Smith had to ____ every day showing them around his house.本句的含义是史密斯先生把每天的时间都花费在给游客介绍房子上,主语是人通常用spend或pay,spend+时间+doing sth表示做某事花费某人多长时间,故本题选C.
50.A 考查动词:根据后文not to work as a guide而不是让游客到他家的房子里来玩,自己充当导游的.结合第一段说史密斯先生退休后,想住在安静的地方玩.故选A游玩.B 工作;C 观看;D 退休.
