Question

One day Galileo（伽利略）had a letter from a friend in Holland（荷兰）. “A Dutchman（荷兰人）here（1）________ a special（特殊的）kind of glass,” his friend wrote. “His name is Lippershey. I met him yesterday when I（2）________ beside a river. There was a beautiful girl on the far side of the river. I looked at her through his glass, and her face came quite close to me. I cried out with surprise. I thought that I could touch her,（3）________ I put out my hand. Then I almost（4）________ into the water. Lippershey laughed, because the girl was still on the far side of the river. He hasn't any copies of thin glass at present（目前）, so I can't buy one（5）________ you.” Galileo read the letter twice. Then he jumped up from his chair. “I shall make a glass like that,” he cried. “I shall make a（6）________ one. I can see girls’ faces with my own eyes. But（7）________ a strong glass, perhaps I shall see the face of the moon”

　　He began to work at once. He didn't need to see Lippershey's glass. The idea was（8）________ for him, and very soon his glass was ready. He gave it a name “the telescope”(from the Greek（希腊）words for “far” and “see”). Lippershey could see（9）________ the land, but Galileo could see across the sky.

When it was ready, Galileo looked through it at the moon. He was（10）________ surprised to speak. He could see the moon's face clearly. Like his friend in Holland, he wanted to put out his hand and touch it.

Answer 1

答案：B;A;C;A;D;B;D;C;B;D
解析：

第1，2空为时态问题，虽然讲一件事往往要用一般过去时，但这两空要表达的动作是在信中。第1空通过上下文应得知 “一个荷兰人已发明了一种特殊的镜片”，因此应用现在完成时来表示。第2空关键在I met him yesterday when¼，when在此为 “正当……时”，主句又用的是一般过去时，所以应用过去进行时表示当时另一动作正在进行； 第3空用表示结果的连词so； 第4空主要是feel, fall, fill的过去式构成及词义的辨析。不少同学易把fall的过去式fell与feel的过去式felt混淆。”差点掉进河里”，应用fall的过去式； 第5空关键要掌握buy的用法， “给某人买什么”，有两种表达方法：①buy somebody something；②buy something for somebody； 第6空用比较级，表示“一个更好的”； 第7空意为 “用”a strong glass，主要考查这个 “用”该用动词use还是应用介词with的问题； 第8空选enough，足够的； 第9空词组see across the land指“看过陆地”，across是介词； 第10空关键是句型结构，根据上文意思应用too¼to¼来表示 “太惊讶了以致说不出话来”。
