1 .上文Cosmo Books Lad。在the Morning Mail作廣告銷售《莎士比亞全集》這句是說公司以十分優(yōu)惠的價格向訂購者提供這套書,四個選項均為及物動詞,但只有offered有“提供”之意,故為最佳選項。2 .此處介詞at后是由what引起的從句。3 .其后的錢數(shù)已表明了全套書的價格。4 .廣告在此的意思是這個數(shù)目已包含郵資和包裝費,說明價格非常低廉。5 .作者本來早就想買一套莎士比亞的劇本和詩集,現(xiàn)在又看到裝幀漂亮的紅色仿革封面,自然。這套書對作者而言非常具有吸引力。6 .together with意為“和”“連同一起”。這句是說兩周后我要的書收到了.此外還有我沒有訂購的一套《狄更斯全集》。7 .這里指所寄的書中還有作者未訂購的《狄更斯全集》,order意為“訂購”。8 .這句意思是作者向該公司退還沒有訂購的《狄更斯全集》并附上一張購《莎士比亞全集》書款所需的一張15英鎊50便士的支票。9 .這是一個倒裝句.there結構中還可以不用be而用exist,live,stand,arrive之類的不及物動詞。此空填arrived表示“(被)送來”。10 .C根據(jù)句意,這里是說作者無論如何也付不起將這些書全部寄回去的郵費,故此空填however,意為“無論如何”“不管怎樣”,用來加強語氣。11 .上文中I could not afford to post a11 these books back to you表明,作者是要該售書公司派人來拿走這些書。四個選項的動詞只有take有“拿走”之意,為最佳選項。12 .這里作者勸阻該售書公司不要再郵寄書來,除非另有通知,即再有訂單,這里notice意為“通知”。13 .這里是說該售書公司沒有給作者回信,而是寄給作者一張42英鎊的賬單,故此空應填副詞instead,意思是“反而”“卻”。14 .上文敘述了收到所訂購的書是two weeks later,后又有Two more weeks passed,又來了一套《莎士比亞全集》,由此可知,每兩周寄來一次書,故填weeks。15 .從語氣來看,這句是說書多得令作者幾乎不知道是些什么書了。16 .keep和stop主語不對;lie表示“位于”指平放在某物之上;stand表“位于”指在某處。此處指小汽車停放的地點,故填stand。17 .room前不加冠詞表“空間”。上文說成箱的書存放在汽車庫,連小汽車都得停留在外面受雨淋,可見汽車庫里沒有空間再存放更多的書。18 .the Last Day表示“世界末日”為固定搭配。這里是說作者認為即使我從現(xiàn)在開始讀,一直讀到世界末日也讀不完你所送來的書。19 .四個選項均為及物動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞形式,都可以作后置定語,但所表達的意思不同:demand要求;include包括;expect期望;inform告知。這里作者是在懇求該售書公司不要再送書,不要再送賬單,不要再送要求付賬的信。故此空應填demanding,現(xiàn)在分詞短語作后置定語。20 .leave sb. with sth.表示將某物留給某人,是固定搭配,這里是作者請求該售書公司派車把書運走,僅剩下那套付過錢的莎士比亞著作。 |
