Question

Mr. Black was over fifty years old. He sometimes made some mistakes in his work, and he lost his work. So he had 1 time every day to do something. Then he often met his old friends under a big tree. They had drinks there and 2 anything they liked.
One day, some old men were sitting together again and talking about young people in this world. They all agreed that the old people were 3 than young people. Then one of the old4 said that young men were stronger than old men.
5 of them agreed that this was true, 6 Mr. Black didn’t. He said, “No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man.” His friends were surprised 7 what he said.
“Well,” said Mr. Black, “Near my house there is a big stone. When I was a young man, I used 8 to move it, but I couldn’t because I was not 9. I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still 10. So, I am as strong as when I was young.”

短文大意：這篇短文主要記述了一位老人的故事。他因為自己年輕時不能搬動一塊石頭，老了以后也不能搬動這塊石頭，來證明自己和以前一樣強壯。其實這倒不如說和以前一樣虛弱。
1.詞義辨析. A. 許多的,修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù);B.副詞短語,許多,大量;C.許多,可修飾可數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞;D.名詞,命運,一塊,一堆.聯(lián)系前文描述,可知此處指的是,因此他每天有很多時間做一些事情.故選C.
2.短語辨析. A. 談?wù)?B.對……談?wù)�；C.和……談?wù)�；D.談?wù)撃呈�。�?lián)系下文，可知此處指的是談?wù)撍麄兿矚g的任何事情。故選D。
3.聯(lián)系下文than young people 描述，可知前面表示和年輕人的對比，故用形容詞的比較級做表語，形容詞前一般不能加不定冠詞修飾，故選B，更聰明的。
4.聯(lián)系前文，可知此處指的是其中一個老男人。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是多個老男人之一，故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。選C，男人們。
5.不定代詞辨析。A. 所有的；B.一個也沒有；C.兩者都；D. 兩者都不。聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是所有老人都認為這是正確的。故選A。
6.連詞辨析。A.因此；B.是否，或者；C. 和，并且；D.但是，可是。聯(lián)系上下文，可知前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選D，但是布萊克先生不這么認為。
7.介詞辨析。A. 在一點；B. 到，向；C.屬于，關(guān)于；D. 在上面，通過某種媒介。聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是，他的朋友們對他說的話感到很意外。短語be surprised at對……感到驚奇，對……感到意外。故選A。
8.聯(lián)系下文時間狀語從句，可知下文指的是，我過去嘗試移動它。短語used to do sth，過去常常做某事。故選C。
9.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處意思是，我不能移動它，是因為我不夠強壯。Enough做副詞修飾形容詞一般要放在被修飾詞的后面，故選A。
10.聯(lián)系前文描述，可知此處指的是，我仍舊不能移動它。故選B，不能。
