解析:
1、never…at all构成否定结构,用来加强语气,相当于not…at all. 2、“used to +动词原形”表示过去经常发生的动作;be used to, get used to, become used to表示“习惯”,后应跟名词或v-ing形式。 3、or表示选择。 4、从全文大意,尤其是本段最后一句,可推知答案。 5、go by 意为“(时间)过去”。 6、remained poor构成系表结构,意为“仍然很穷”。虽然appear和prove后也可跟形容词,但句意不通。 7、由下文大意可推知答案。 8、jump to one’s feet意为“跳起来,跃起”。 9、like是介词,like this意为“像这样”。 10、文中讲述的是那两个人想挣钱,并没有反映出他们两人要“抢”“偷”或“兑换”。Make money 意为“挣钱,赚钱”。 11、这是一个省略句,全句的完整形式是What have we got to do for instance. 12、该空考查词义区别:tireless不疲倦的;tiring使人疲倦的;tired疲倦的;tiresome令人疲倦的。 13、去“抓”蜗牛。 14、开头,第二个人不想去捉蜗牛,最后第一个人“说服”了他们一块儿去。 15、set off意为“出发,动身”。 16、look as though=look as if,意为“看来好像。” 17、从下文内容可知道,两个人“分开”干活。 18、本空考查名词性物主代词的用法,yours在此处意为your bucket. 19、hunt=search for,意为 “搜寻”。 20、nearly意为“差不多”,但我们可以知道第二个人只抓到两只蜗牛。
