C.could give D.could be given
知识点:英语
答案:B

Recently they were ________ their father's sudden death.
A.suffered from B.suffering from
C.suffered by D.suffering in
知识点:英语
答案:B
考查动词的相关用法。常用固定短语suffer from表示“遭受,忍受……(之苦)”,注意suffer是不及物动词,没有被动语态,故根据句意和结构可知答案选B项。句意:最近他们一直沉浸在父亲突然离世的痛苦之中。

A.Thanks to B.Owing to
C.Due to D.According to

A.relate to B.relating to
C.related to D.relates to
知识点:英语
答案:C

答案:C
句意:自1990年以来,在中国上大学的外国留学生的数量一直稳步增加。“the number of+n.”作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;由since 1990可知用完成时态,故选C项。

C.were D.would be
知识点:英语
答案:B

—You ________ it in the wrong place.
A.must put B.should have put
C.might put D.might have put
知识点:英语

I have a new hero. It is G. M. Hennen. I found him in the old newspapers as I was doing my research for the column A Look Back in History.
In 1958, he retired as a newspaper carrier from the Sherman Herald Democrat. He was 77 years old and had delivered four million copies of the Democrat. He had gone through 17 automobiles and had thrown on average 400 newspapers a day, six days a week. He drove 100 miles a day, including the day he collected.
Before he was a newspaper carrier, he was also a teacher and a construction worker.
He opened the first motor delivery route in the newspaper's history. Driving a Model T Ford, his route consisted of Pottsboro, Gordonville, Sadler and Southmayd. Before he started in delivery, he solicited(征求) subscriptions(订阅) riding horseback over the county.
Mr Hennen had only one wreck in 30 years. The car spun(疲驶) out of control and flipped on its top. That didn't stop him. A man with a truck used a tow rope to flip the car back over and tied the doors shut, leaving Mr Hennen to continue on his way. Now_that_was_
determination!
Mr Hennen told of the time his headlights went out as he was delivering newspapers. He borrowed a kerosene lantern(煤油灯) from a farmer to light the way and continued his route.
What a story! I complain when I have to drive to work when it is snowing, and I only have to travel three miles. I could never be that tough.
1.According to the second paragraph, how many newspapers did Mr Hennen throw a week?
A.1 600. B.2 000.
C.2 400. D.2 800.
2.Which of the following jobs did Mr Hennen NOT serve as?
A.A newspaper carrier.
B.A teacher.
C.A construction worker.
D.A doctor.
3.What does the underlined word “wreck” mean according to the fifth paragraph?
A.Luck. B.Success.
C.Failure. D.Accident.
4.What do we learn from the underlined sentence?
A.Mr Hennen was a successful worker.
B.Mr Hennen was devoted to his job.
C.Mr Hennen was not afraid of death.
D.Mr Hennen was silly.
5.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Mr Hennen had several jobs.
B.Mr Hennen was once faced with a wreck.
C.Mr Hennen loved his newspaper carrying work.
D.Mr Hennen had delivered four million copies of the Democrat.
