　　The lawyer 3 on to explain that the game was really easy and a lot of 4 . He explained “I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $ 5, and visa-versa.” Again, she politely refused and tries to get some 5 .

　　The lawyer, now somewhat agitated(烦躁的), said, “Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $ 5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you 50!”, thinking that, since she was a blonde, he would 6 win the match.

　　This 7 the blonde's attention and, figuring that there would be no end to this torment(折磨) 8 she played, agreed to the game.

　　Now, it was the blonde's 11 . She asked the lawyer “What 12 a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?” The lawyer looked at her with a 13 look. He took out his pocket 14 and searched all his references. He tapped into the Air phone with his modem and searched the Net and the Library of Congress. He 15 sent E-mails to all his coworkers and former 16 . All to no avail(无效). After over an hour, he 17 the blonde and handed her $ 50. The blonde politely 18 the $ 50 and turned away to get back to sleep. The lawyer, who was now a little more angry, woke the blonde and asked, “Well, so what IS the 19 !?” 20 a word, the blonde took out $ 5 from her purse, handed it to the lawyer, and went back to sleep again.

Answer 1

答案：C;B;C;A;D;C;A;B;A;B;D;C;A;D;A;B;B;D;B;D
解析：

1．C　　律师问她“是否”愿意玩一个游戏。 　　2．B　　根据后文“Again，she politely refused…”，应选B。 　　3．C　　这里考查的是一个搭配，go on to do sth．是“继续，接着做”的意思，而A、B、D选项都不能与on to do形式搭配使用。 　　4．A　　律师想极力说服女郎，说这个游戏“容易，很有趣”符合情理也与前文play a fun game相照应。 　　5．D　　根据前文The blonde just wanted to take a nap以及18空的一句和文章的最后一句可知。 　　6．C　　律师认为他会很容易赢，因为对手只是一个女流之辈。 　　7．A　　catch one's attention：吸引某人的注意力。 　　8．B　　figuring that there would be no end to this torment unless she played:想到如果她不和他玩这个游戏，就会有没完没了的折磨。 　　9．A　　对distance，price，population和weight等提问，应该用What。 　　10．B　　reached into her purse：把手伸进她的钱包，与后面的pulled out a five－dollar bill and handed…形成符合情理的连贯动作。 　　11．D　　It is sb．'s turn：(现在)轮到某人了。 　　12．C　　goes up与后文comes down意义相对，结构相同。 　　13．A　　律师不知女郎所说为何物，所以露出了a puzzled look(迷惑不解的神色)。 　　14．D　　从后文tapped into…和sent e－mails可知是“电脑”。a pocket computer：便携式(袖珍)计算机。 　　15．A　　 also，他还发送电子邮件给同事。 　　16．B　　向以前的老师请教合情合理。“以前的医生、朋友和科学家”均不妥。 　　17．B　　选woke说明女郎睡着了，理由是：①女郎原本就想睡觉，②律师花了很长的时间查询资料，③后面有get back to sleep。 　　18．D　　took=received，意为“接受”。 　　19．B　　律师有些恼火，问：“答案到底是什么？”选animal没有根据，因为女郎并未说是动物。 　　20．D　　Without a word：(女郎)一言不发，合符上下文。
