Question

Coin confusion

Rachel looked through troubled eyes at his sister and said, “1 wouldn't have thought Eric would be a thief. His sister Sarah replied, “Whoa, that's a    accusation to make against your best friend!”

         Rachel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Eric to    .At the end of that day, Rachel's mother had asked him to do her a favor，so he had asked his friend,“1s it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?" Eric had said, "Go ahead. I'll clean up here,"      at the piles of coins on the floor.

         When Rachel had returned, it never occurred to him to    his coins until two days later that he realized some quarters were     .

         Sarah said, “Why don't you just ask him?”

         “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you     my coin collection?” Rachel thought for a moment,     if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of    .“How could I have misjudged my friend's    ?"

         The next day Rachel went over to  Eric's house. Eric was acting funny sort of nervous, like he couldn't be    . In fact, Rachel thought Eric acted like someone with a secret. Anger blossomed （产生）as  Rachel watched Eric pretend to be kind,     Eric had obviously stolen from him. Rachel finally could not stand it anymore and stood up. Suddenly, Eric    ,“I can't stand it anymore!” Rachel was astonished at hearing his own      burst forth from his friend! Only, instead of sounding     , Eric sounded excited. He pulled something from underneath the chair.

         "Go to open it! I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can't wait1” Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the     . Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own    in a new collection case.  Each quarter shone like it was new.

         Rachel felt     rush over his neck and ears. He    said, “Thank you this means...a great deal to me.” He was grateful that Eric had cut him     before he said something he would      . Eric was exactly the type of person he wanted as a friend !

2.D 考查动词词义。 句意为：Rachel记得两天前她拿出了自己收集的硬币给Eric看的时候。clean

vt 清洗，打扫；store vt 储藏，储存；choose vt选择；see vt 看，观察。这里应该是拿出来给好朋友看。                                                                                                    

3.B 考查动词的词义。句意为：在这一天快要结束的时候，Rachel的妈妈让她帮忙，她就问好朋友自己能否去帮妈妈。她的朋友Eric说，你去吧，我来帮你清理一下这些硬币，他用手指着这些硬币。这一动作也是后来Rachel怀疑她的朋友偷了硬币的原因。 working vi 工作；gesturing vi打手势； playing vi 玩，玩耍；glaring vi 盯着，凝视。故答案应为B。

4.C 考查动词的意思。句意为：当她回来的时候，她从来不会想到，等她两天之后检查这些硬币的时候，她考-----。此处为检查她的硬币。seek vt 寻求，探索；select vt 选择；check vt检查；collect vt 收集搜集。故答案应为C。

5.C 考查动词词义。句意为：当她两天之后，检查她的硬币的时候，她才意识到有一部分不见了。此处表示迷失，失踪的意思，也是开始怀疑他的好朋友的时候。destroyed vt 被毁，毁灭；messed vt 弄脏，脏乱；missing vt 失踪的，缺少的；decreasing vt 渐减的。故答案应为C。

6.B 考查动词的词义。句意为：Rachel的姐姐Saral告诉她，为什么不去问问Eric这件事呢？Rachel说，问他什么呢，作为最好的朋友，问他偷了我的硬币吗？这里是Rachel在反问他的姐姐，说明这件事情也没办法去问。replace vt 取代，代替；steal vt 偷，窃；pick vt 捡，拾起；remove vt 转移，移开。故答案应为B。

12.C 考查动词词义。句意为：Rachel非常生气，最后他忍不下去了，站了起来。这时候，Eric突

13.D考查名词词义。句意为：Rachel听到他的朋友说的想法非常的吃惊。通过下文可知，Eric说出了硬币的真相，所些应为想法。purpose n 目的，用途；choice n 选择；desire n 欲望；thought n 思想，想法。故答案应为D。

【小题 14】C 考查形容词的词义。句意为：听起来Eric不是负罪内疚感，而是激动。他从椅子下面拿出来些东西。因为下文说明Eric并未偷东西，所以不是负罪感。shocked adj 吃惊的，震惊的；curious adj 好奇的；guilty adj 有罪的，内疚的；cruel adj残酷的，残忍的。

亏的想法，所以没有敢大声，此处为声音弱。absently adv 心不在焉地；unwillingly adv 不情愿地weakly

adv 虚弱地，软弱地；fearfully adv 恐惧地，害怕地。故答案应为C。
