试题分析:这篇短文主要讲述乔治和贝蒂为了省钱买车的故事。文章介绍,贝蒂在花园种菜以节省开支。有一天乔治发现汽车走得很慢,因此他跟着汽车跑,这样他省下了2.5美元买票的钱,回到家后贝蒂建议说,如果跟着的士跑,就可以省下6美元了。
小题1:考查名词及语境的理解。work :工作,不可数名词。job:职业、工作,可数名词, child :孩子,house房子。联系上下文可知,乔治坐汽车上班,贝蒂没有工作,因此她总想办法省钱。故选B。
小题2:考查动词及语境的理解。make:做, carry:拿,带, bring:带来、拿来, take:带去、拿走。根据语境,这里指的是贝蒂做好三明治让乔治带去上班。故选D。
小题3:考查连词及语境的理解。根据语境,乔治上下班的路途不远,但是交通问题车子走得很慢。语义存在转折关,故选C。.
小题4:考查形容词及语境的理解。联系上下文,前文提到车子因为交通问题走得很慢,下文提到乔治可以跑得比车块,可知这里指的是交通比往常更糟糕。选C,worse,更差的、更糟糕的。
小题5:考查介词及语境的理解。根据下文He arrived home的描述可知,这里指的是下班后乔治跟着汽车跑步回家。故应选A,after work :下班后。
小题6:考查固定短语及语境的理解。get off :下车,get on :上车,come up with :想出(主意、办法),stop:停止。根据He ran along beside it in the sidewalk的描述可知,乔治没有上车。故选B。
小题7:考查副词及语境的理解。Most:many/much的最高级,much:修饰形容词或副词比较级,so:如此的,常与that连用构成so+形容词+that结构,quite:修饰形容词或副词,“相当的”之意。根据语境,乔治必须跑得相当块才能赶上汽车。故选D。.
小题8:考查形容词及语境的理解。excited:兴奋的, surprised :惊讶的,interested:感兴趣的, bored:乏味的。根据下文She was worried 的描述可知,贝蒂看到乔治气喘吁吁的样子很惊讶。故选B。
小题9:考查副词及语境的理解。根据上文I saved two dollars and fifty cents的描述可知,乔治没有花钱买车票,所以才省下了2.5美元,故选C,without:没有,表示否定意义。
小题10:考查动词及语境的理解。根据下文You would have saved six dollars的描述可知,这里是指贝蒂建议乔治跟着的士跑,这样就可以省下6没有了。故选C,“why didn’t you+动词原形?”表示提建议。
