【1】句意：他只有7歲，并且很貧窮，幾乎不懂英語。

little幾乎沒有（+不可數(shù)名詞）；some一些；few幾乎沒有（+可數(shù)名詞）；easy容易；根據(jù)“he was only seventeen, poor ”，所以他幾乎不懂英語，根據(jù)英語不可數(shù)，所以用little，故選A

【2】句意：于是，他在1849年去加利福尼亞淘金。

find找到（強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)果）；look看；discover發(fā)現(xiàn)；seek尋找；此處表示“尋找金子”的含義，構(gòu)成seek gold短語，故選D。

quantity數(shù)量；amounts數(shù)量（復(fù)數(shù)）；number數(shù)字；numbers數(shù)字（復(fù)數(shù)）；根據(jù)a large quantity of +名詞，表示大量的，a great amount of 許多的(+不可數(shù))，a great/big/large number of…大量的（+可數(shù)），故選 A。

【5】句意：然而，生意并沒有他想象的那么好。

as far as直到；as well也；C. as good as和……一樣好；as soon as以……就；根據(jù)前文“He hoped to sell it.”所以他剛開始預(yù)期賣的很好，但是并沒有，故選C。

【6】句意：加州人做的是艱苦而又粗糙的工作，需要質(zhì)量好的、結(jié)實(shí)的褲子。

thin瘦；strong強(qiáng)壯，結(jié)實(shí)；black黑；big大；根據(jù)前文“the hard and rough work”艱苦而又粗糙的工作，所以需要質(zhì)量好的、結(jié)實(shí)的褲子，故選B。

A different kind of alarm clock

When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.

“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根）.”

So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs（燈泡） instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.

“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”

“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”

When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor！”

Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.

【2】How many people worked together on the new alarm clock？
