Question

One day Galileo（伽利略）had a letter from a friend in Holland（荷蘭）. “A Dutchman（荷蘭人）here（1）________ a special（特殊的）kind of glass,” his friend wrote. “His name is Lippershey. I met him yesterday when I（2）________ beside a river. There was a beautiful girl on the far side of the river. I looked at her through his glass, and her face came quite close to me. I cried out with surprise. I thought that I could touch her,（3）________ I put out my hand. Then I almost（4）________ into the water. Lippershey laughed, because the girl was still on the far side of the river. He hasn't any copies of thin glass at present（目前）, so I can't buy one（5）________ you.” Galileo read the letter twice. Then he jumped up from his chair. “I shall make a glass like that,” he cried. “I shall make a（6）________ one. I can see girls’ faces with my own eyes. But（7）________ a strong glass, perhaps I shall see the face of the moon”

　　He began to work at once. He didn't need to see Lippershey's glass. The idea was（8）________ for him, and very soon his glass was ready. He gave it a name “the telescope”(from the Greek（希臘）words for “far” and “see”). Lippershey could see（9）________ the land, but Galileo could see across the sky.

When it was ready, Galileo looked through it at the moon. He was（10）________ surprised to speak. He could see the moon's face clearly. Like his friend in Holland, he wanted to put out his hand and touch it.

Answer 1

答案：B;A;C;A;D;B;D;C;B;D
解析：

第1，2空為時態問題，雖然講一件事往往要用一般過去時，但這兩空要表達的動作是在信中。第1空通過上下文應得知 “一個荷蘭人已發明了一種特殊的鏡片”，因此應用現在完成時來表示。第2空關鍵在I met him yesterday when¼，when在此為 “正當……時”，主句又用的是一般過去時，所以應用過去進行時表示當時另一動作正在進行； 第3空用表示結果的連詞so； 第4空主要是feel, fall, fill的過去式構成及詞義的辨析。不少同學易把fall的過去式fell與feel的過去式felt混淆。”差點掉進河里”，應用fall的過去式； 第5空關鍵要掌握buy的用法， “給某人買什么”，有兩種表達方法：①buy somebody something；②buy something for somebody； 第6空用比較級，表示“一個更好的”； 第7空意為 “用”a strong glass，主要考查這個 “用”該用動詞use還是應用介詞with的問題； 第8空選enough，足夠的； 第9空詞組see across the land指“看過陸地”，across是介詞； 第10空關鍵是句型結構，根據上文意思應用too¼to¼來表示 “太驚訝了以致說不出話來”。
