解析:

本文是根据美国著名作家(Mark Twain)马克??吐温的故事改编的一篇记叙文。故事讲述的是“一块精美、走时准确手表最终成为废物”的全过程。选项设计上侧重训练学生的英语语感和词义辨析能力。

36.C    for certain“无疑地,确定地”,是一个固定用法,相当于without doubt, for sure;for certainty应为for a certainty才对。

37.A    keep time“走时准确”,是习惯用法,tell time“报时”,observe time “守时”,strike表“鸣钟”时,常用结构为“strike the hours(每小时报时一次); strike 12这种刚敲12点”。

38.B    wind sth. up“上(钟或表)的弦;上发条”。

39.D    set a clock / watch “对钟;对表;将闹钟等定时”。

40.A    as用来引导表原因的状语从句。

41.D    从上文中的be pushed up得知,手表的时间慢了四分钟,而不是快了四分钟。

42.C    make sB.do sth. / get sB.to do sth. “使某人做某事”,此题之后接了省to的不定式understand,所以用make。

43.A    (指钟表)快(慢)于正确的时间,常用gain或lose。如:This watch neither gains nor loses.这表不快也不慢。go只表示“钟表在走(时)”。

44.B    leave sth. far behind“使某事处于落后状态”,A、C、D都是不及物动词。

45.C    表转折,意为:我原指望他迅速将表校对,可是他要我一周后才来拿。However是副词,常用逗号隔开。

46.C    slow作动词,slow down“减慢速度”。

47.A    通过上下文得知作者已经去过了两个修表匠,现在要去第三个修表匠那儿。

48.B    took sth. to pieces “拆开,拆散”,在这里指把表拆成零碎。broke“打碎”; tore“撕毁”; cut“切碎”。

49.D    介词in表示“从当时算起再过多长时间”。

50.B    but前有实义动词do时,but后要接省to的动词不定式。

51.A    keep(on)doing sth., 意为“不停地做……”。taking “拿去”;bringing“拿来”; fetching“去拿来”; carrying“提起,拿起”,无方向性。

52.B    tell the time 指“能够看懂钟表上的时间;看钟表等而说出时间”。不要受中文影响而错用understand。

53.D    get 是连系动词,其后要接形容词作表语,可排除A、C,再从逻辑上分析,可排除B项。

54.C    cost表示“某物花费多少钱”,有“等价交换”之意。

55.A    another表示“另一个(与之不同的一个)”;the other表“两个当中的另一个”;one表“数量(一个)”;one more“买了一个不够,还要再买一个”。

         Hill enrolled(注册) in a wig-making  28   in New York.Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to   29   for $300 each.
