   The next morning,  32  , the clerk said that he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof  33  I had given the man the money. There was clearly nothing left to do but go to the  34  lawyer.

   The lawyer  35  me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred dollar bill to the desk. So we did. An hour later, I went  36  to the desk and asked for my money.  37  I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the  38  hundred dollar bill, the clerk could not say he  39  nothing about it.

   Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s  40  into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel to  41  for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and  42  the clerk insisted that he had given  43  to me, I said it was not true. The lawyer said to him, “ I  44  this gentleman give you a hundred-dollar bill. If you don’t hand it  45  immediately, I will be forced to call the  46 ”. The clerk realized he had been  47 , so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.

   “ I don’t know  48  to thank you enough for  49  my money back.” I said to the lawyer. And what do you suppose he answered? He said, “ Oh, don’t  50  me. That will be one hundred dollars, please.”

Answer 1

31-35 ACDAA 36-40 CDDCC 41-45 BADBB 46-50 ACBCB

解析:

31．A     carry除了有“搬、運(yùn)”意思之外，還可以指“攜帶”錢、文件等，其他三個(gè)動(dòng)詞不合題意。

32．C     however和but都可作“但是”講，但用法不一樣。在形式上however前后可用逗號(hào)分開，而but則不能；從意思上講however連接的前后兩個(gè)句子的意思應(yīng)趨向一致，而but引導(dǎo)的句子則與前句構(gòu)成對(duì)比。

33．D     that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句。

34．A     根據(jù)常理，不會(huì)舍近求遠(yuǎn)，所以用the nearest。

35．A     從上文得知，作者沒(méi)有提出回旅館的要求，可見是律師建議的。

36．C     從上文的to return to the hotel這一信息可知，went back=returned。

37．D     since在這里的意思是“既然”，表示原因。

38．D     第一個(gè)100美元作者已經(jīng)給了收銀員；這是律師給的第二個(gè)100美元。

39．C     此事只有作者和律師兩人知道，當(dāng)然收銀員不知道。

40．C     put…into action意思是“把……付諸實(shí)施”。從上下文可以看出，作者是按照律師的計(jì)劃行事的。

41．B     ask for是“向……要”的意思，其他選項(xiàng)不合題意。

42．A     when指的是時(shí)間，其他不合邏輯。

43．D     it用來(lái)指代上文提到的the hundred dollar bill。

44．B     律師說(shuō)是看到作者把錢給收銀員的。

45．B     hand in是“上交、交出”的意思，符合題意。

46．A     如果收銀員不按照律師所說(shuō)的去做的話，他只有叫警察了。

47．C     收銀員此時(shí)已經(jīng)意識(shí)到中了律師的圈套，只好歸還給作者第一次（放在他那兒）的鈔票。

48．B     作者不知道該怎樣感謝律師。

49．C     get money back收回、取回。符合題意。

50．B     律師最后要作者付給他100美元作為報(bào)酬，顯然不要作者說(shuō)“感謝”。
