2. C 根据语义,“买完了她所需要的东西”。
3. B 根据下句“looking in furniture-shop windows”可知,她是在逛街。
4. A 有定语从句she liked best 修饰,应该用特指 in the way的形式,意思为:“用她最喜欢的方法”。
5. A 选项 B. noisy和C. large有干扰性,但从该句的信息词found可知,应该选A:new。
6. B 根据文义,在商店门口贴着的应该是广告牌、告示等。
7. D 根据句义“告示邀请人进来看看,不用觉得必须买东西”。
8. B 句义应该是: “她走进去之前,犹豫了片刻”。
9. D 根据下文中There was a card on the chair which said ,“This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week,”可知,她应该是惊喜的停下来。
10. D 上面写着什么,应用say或read。
11. B 根据文中 A pound a week…一句可得出答案:miss。
12. A make somebody surprised.。B、C两项不合题意,A. jump“(因喜悦、吃惊、紧张等)跃起,跳动,剧跳”。
13. A 根据前句A voice at her shoulder made her…可知,应该选round,look round 掉头看,环顾。
14. D 售货员已走到她面前。

18. C  A项advised,劝告、建议,对方不一定去干,而persuaded.说服某人干什么,强调结果对方被说服了,此处正是她担心被说服买不需要的东西。
19. D 由18可知答案:need

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon① in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices② and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spikane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental③. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.
Notes:
① sermon  v. 布道
② sacrifices  n. 牺牲
③ sentimental  adj. 感伤的

A. Sonora honored her father on her father’s birthday

D. her mother died on June 19
3. How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an official day since the father’s day was celebrated?
A. 4     B. 10      C. 14     D. 24

A. people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers
