2. C 表示看書看報用read.
3. B 由文末I’m sitting in the same seat behind you可知.
4. C 從下文可知是向他召呼問好,所以是say “Hello” to him.
5. D 打了召呼后自然就會開始(began) 談起話來.
6. A 在同一時間、同一個車站、乘同一個火車,這是種單是調(diào)泛味的生活 (life).而不是這工作,也不是辦公,更不是指小孩.
7. B 指每天早上都是如此,才會說單調(diào)泛味.
8. A 史密斯先生聽到(heard) 這些話.listen指有意識在“聽”,強調(diào)動作,后接賓語時要加to；hear指聽的結(jié)果“聽到”.

Once there was a boy in Toronto. His name was Jimmy. He started drawing when he was three years old, and when he was five he was already very ___1___ at it.

Jimmy’s pictures were quite different from other ___5___ because he never drew on all of the paper. He drew on ___6___ of it, and the other half was always ___7___.
“That’s very clever,” everybody said. “___8___ other people have ever done that before.”
One day somebody asked him, “Please tell me, Jimmy. Why do you draw on the bottom (底部) half of your pictures, ___9___ not on the top half?”
“Because I’m small,” Jimmy said, “and my brushes (毛筆) can’t ___10___ very high.”
本文是具有一定的諷刺意義的故事.講述一個繪畫風格與眾不同的孩童,他在紙上總是留出一半不畫,別人都以為他特別聰明,最后通過孩童自己的口揭示了其中的密秘.
1. A. poor B. sad C. glad D. good
2. A. bought B. brought C. sold D. took

9. A. then B. and C. but D. or
10. A. change B. turn C. pull D. reach
1. D 由后文he drew many beautiful interesting pictures可知,他是“擅長(be good at)”繪畫.
2. A 這畫又漂亮又有趣,當然就很多人“買”了.
3. C 根據(jù)常識推理,現(xiàn)在就畫得如此之后,他長大后自然就會很“有名(famous)”.
4. D 由后面的for a lot of money可知,是將原來買的畫賣掉賺錢.
5. B 是說他的畫與別人的畫不同,而不是與別人男人的畫不同,所以排除A；又因other后應當接復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,而C和D是單數(shù),所以也錯了.
6. A 由后面的the other half可知.
7. B 由前文he never drew on all of the paper和He drew hall of it,可以推知另一半是“空白(empty)”.
8. A 上文已經(jīng)說了他的畫與眾不同,他這樣畫一半留一半,由此,推斷沒有別的人像這樣做.
9. C 前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關系.
10. D因為自己還太矮小,所以伸手達不到那么高.
