典型例題
Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson,a 54-year-old secretary .He moves a round her office at work and goes at shopping with her.“Most people don’t seem to mind Allan,”says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful,“He’s my fourth child, ”she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying hi s health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog.
Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provide (提供) a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so you aren’t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish Kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance(保險) for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage(損壞) their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runns out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner. have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
1.Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because ______________.
A. he is her dog B. he is her child
C. he follows her everywhere D. he often falls ill
2.The money paid and dog taxes is used to ______________.
A. keep a high level of care for the people
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
3.If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A. The owner to the car B. The owner of the dog
C. The insurance company(公司) D. The government
4.From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ______________.
A. dogs are welcome in public places
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people care much about dogs
解析 1.這是一道細節題。考生應準確理解全文尤其是第一自然段的中心大意，并抓住in fact Allen is a dog這一關鍵的信息，便可得出A為最佳答案。
2.這是一道細節題。只要考生抓住第三自然段中money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill并理解其含義，使其得出C為最佳答案。
3.文章結尾的一句話提示考生，B為最佳答案。
4.這是一道推斷題。從文章最后兩個自然段中可以斷定，D為最佳答案。

常見問題1: At the shop
問題：
_______________ may say so, it is not true.
A. Anyone who B. Whoever C. No matter whom D. Whatever
解答:
解題指導：本題很容易誤選A，這是因為沒有弄清楚句法結構及whoever的用法的緣故。在句法上，這是一個含有讓步狀語從句的主從復合句，意為：“不論是誰說的，都不是真的”； whoever可用作連詞，表示“無論誰”，相當于no matter who，引導讓步狀語從句，其它選項均不合題意。
答案：B
常見問題2: At the shop
問題：
She is cleverer and more diligent than _______________ in her class.
A. else B. someone else C. anyone else D. anyone else’s
解答:
解題指導：else adj “其他的”、“別的”，常用在疑問代詞或不定代詞之后。此句中，than之后接比較對象，表達“比任何其他人”之意，故答案應選C。若后接有名詞，則else用所有格形式，如：That must be someday else’s umbrella.那一定是別人的雨傘。
答案：C
常見問題3: At the Shop
問題：
doesn't seem to have been any difficulty over the money problem.
A．It B．There C.That D.He

常見問題4: At the Shop
問題：
The workers insisted that their pay______.
A．was increased B．be increased
C．would be increased D．must be increased
解答:
導析：insist作“堅持要求”講時，后面的從句要用虛擬語氣，即should+動詞或省掉should。答案：B
常見問題5: At the Shop
問題：
How aboutthe three of us______.
A．will go B．going C．to go D．go
解答:
導析：How about后要跟名詞或動名詞作賓語，而不能跟從句或不定式。the three ofus是going的邏輯主語。答案：B

問題：
I wonder_______used for.Was it a store?
A．what this room was B．what was this room
C．which was this room D．that this room

A．for B．of C．to D．that

A． refer; do B． refer to; manage
C． depend on; try D． look up; afford
解答:
導析：第一空應填refer to，作后置定語修飾dictionary。refer是不及物動詞，referto表示“查閱、參考”。按照英語習慣用法，“查字典”為look upthe words in a dictionary,不說look up the dictionary；第二空應填manage，其后常跟名詞、代詞或不定式表示“設法成功做某事”。答案：B
常見問題9: At the Shop
問題：
--Here is 20 dollars.
--Thank you. Here ______.
A． is the change B． are the changes
C． youare D． we are

常見問題10: At the Shop
問題：
Can you believe that in__a rich country thereshould be___many poor people?
A．such；such B．such;so C．so；so D．so；such
解答:
導析：該題考查的目的是了解學生對句型so...that和such...that的掌握情況。so...that和such...that都表示“如此……以至于”，so后常接形容詞或副詞，而such后常接名詞。如果這一名詞被many、much、little、few等所修飾，則要用so不用such。答案：B

In ancient Rome, a number of people lived on lending out money and collecting interests every month. In order not to make mistakes, some of them, who had much money and many debtors, used a special kind of book to record the sum of money lent out every day and the interests due. Those books used month as unit. They also had remarks columns(記錄帳本) to show everything clearly.
Later, the simple and clear way of record-keeping had been widely used in other trades. Some changes had also been made. People began to use one page for each month and print advertisements and pictures on them for decoration(裝飾).However, the previous(以前的) use of the books for record keeping is no longer that important. When putting together twelve pages of a year, there came today’s calendar(日歷) .
