解析：

(1) A 下文but he was often unable to work 已暗示出Jack的父亲在棉织厂是有工作干的. (2) C 原因状语because of poor health说明Jack的父亲平时不能正常上班. (3) D 四个选项均为及物动词，其后都能跟不定式作宾语，但空白的不定式to pay the rent表明，最佳答案为D．此处afford是“负担得起”的意思. (4) B go hungry 表示“挨饿”是习惯用法，其中go 是系动词，构成系表结构.这一意思可根据前一个并列分句The family couldn't afford to pay the rent来作出正确判断. (5) B “疑问代词＋不定式”起名词词组的作用，可在句中作wondering的宾语.四个选项中，只有疑问代词what能作及物动词do的宾语，和其后的动词不定式具有逻辑上的动宾关系，故为最佳选择. (6) C 由下文战后的金属原料缺少的情况下，Jack囤积原料，高价销售赚钱发财，可以判断出此处应填business，意为“生意”. (7) C take/follow one's advice表示“听从某人的劝告”，“接受某人的意见”是固定的动词短语. (8) D earn money 意为“赚钱”，是固定的动词短语，这一意思可根据下文Jack成功地向借给他钱的老师Mr. Walker还清了100英镑，还付给了100%的利息等内容正确判断. (9) A enjoy 和prefer都可以表示“喜欢”，后跟动名词，但prefer表示“”宁愿 、“更喜欢”有比较和选择的意思，若填入与句意不符. (10) C 四个选项的动名词都能作介词宾语，由空白后的并列分句he also managed to give Mr Walker 100% interest…可判断出此空应填repaying，表示“偿还”. (11) A 这是一组考查词选择的题目.前一个并列分句已叙述了after one year he succeeded in repaying the ￡100,再根据空白后并列分句的语境及空白前also所表达递进意义，可以确定此空应填managed，其后跟不定式表示“设法”、“完成”做某事. (12) B 在过去某一时间以前已经完成的动作需用过去完成时，由时间状语by the time Jack was 30 years old 可以判断出，该空的谓语动词应用过去完成时. (13) D 由空白后动名词短语所表示的意义，可以确定此空应填表示通过某种方式的介词by. (14) B 根据句型结构，此空应填it作形式主语，真正的主语是位于句子后部的动词不定式to build a beautiful home for himself and his parents. (15) D B，C，D项中的词都可以和介词in搭配，但构成的介词短语所表达的意思不同：in the front of “在……的前部”；in the back of “在……的后部”；in the heart of “在……的中心”.下文it was one of the finest buildings in the country也表明，Baines Caste位于the Lancashire countryside 中心. (16) D 根据句意，空白所在的分句与前句表示的是转折关系，所以此空应填表示转折关系的并列连词but. (17) C 前句Jack has recently sold “Baines Castle”for ￡ 5 million 表明，Jack 已非常富有，由but所表示的转折意义判断，他是不习惯于过富裕生活的.get used to 是“习惯于”的意思.to 为介词，后跟动名词、名词或代词. (18) B 此空只有填poor，才能与上文The family couldn't afford to pay the rent, and the children went hungry所表达的意思相照应. (19) C 四个选项均为副词，但由该空前but所表示的转折意义及下文Jack说的话and I will never forget where I came from and who I am 可以判断出，此空应填表示强烈否定意义的时间副词never. (20) C 根据句型结构，forget后为并列的宾语从句，因came from表示的是地点，故此空应填表示地点的连接副词where，引导宾语从句. |
