1.b
根据课文第2-3行He had often dreamed of retiring in England and …,可以推测只有b.Spending his old age in England 与 Harrison 当时的愿望相符,其他3个选择都不是他所期待的.
2.c
根据课文第1句My old friend,Harrison,had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England,可以判断出只有c.He had spent so long in the Mediterranean,he had forgotten what it was like 是他为什么不能容忍英国天气的原因.a.It never stopped raining 与课文实际情况不太符合,课文说总是下雨,并不是“永远不停地下”；b.it was always cold 虽然与课文的内容相符,但不是他为什么不能忍受英国天气的原因.d.he had never lived in England before 与事实不符,更不是原因.
3.a
主句是过去完成时,表示在过去某一时刻之前发生的事情,从句应该由连词before引导才合乎时态要求,因此只能选a.before.其他3个都不符合题目意思.
4.a
主句是过去时,从句是虚拟语气,表示与过去事实相反.因此需要选一个能引导虚拟语气的连词.a.as though 和d.even if 都可以引导虚拟语气的从句,但是d.even if(即使)不合乎逻辑,a.as though( 好像)合乎题目意思,所以选a.He acted as though he had never lived in England before 而b.like 和 c.as 都不能引导虚拟句.
5.c
只有选c.any longer 才能同前一句It was more than he could bear(他再也忍受不住了)的意思相吻合.any longer 是固定短语常与否定句连用,表示“再也不……”,所以选c.其他3个都不符合习惯用法.
6.b
只有b.when 可以同本句的hardly 连用,表示“几乎未来得及……就……”,因此应该选b.其他3个都不能同hardly 连用.
7.d
这是一般过去时形式的疑问句,需要选出正确的谓语动词.a.live(居住) 不合乎题目意思,因为回答是He left immediately; b.left 是过去式,不合乎语法,因为已经有助动词did提问了,应该用动词原形才对；c.leaves 也不合乎语法,本句不需要用第3人称单数形式；只有d.leave 是动词原形,最合乎语法和题目意思.
8.d
前一句的retired 是退休的意思,只有选d.he didn't have 才同前一句中的retired含义相符合.a.he was going to get,b.he had,c.he would have 都与前一句的意思相反.
9.b
前一句中的settle down 是“安居”,“安家”的意思,本句需要选出同这个动词短语含义相同的词组.a.rest there(在那休息),b.live there permanently (永久地居住在那儿),c.live there for a while(在那儿居住一段时间),d.go there for a visit (到那儿参观,访问).只有b.同settle down 的含义相同,所以选b.
10.a
前一句中的continually 是“频繁地”的意思,表示有间隔的停顿,而不是连续不断.本句只有选a.stopped 才能与前一句It rained continually 的含义最接近.其他3个选择都与前一句意思不符.
11.d
a.made(制造),b.did(做),c.conducted(表现,为人)和d.behaved(举止,表现)4个选择中c.d 都适合这个几子,但c.conduct 是正式的书面用语,而d.behave比conduct更通俗,更常用,所以选d.
12.d
a.suffer(受苦),b.put up(举起,张贴).c.carry(拿,带),d.stand(忍受),只有d.同前一句的bear(容忍,忍受)意思相同,因此应该选d.
bear 侧重于表示“忍受沉重或难办的事”.
In the end,I could not bear it.
最后,我受不了啦.
When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette,it was more than I could bear.
当老朋友布赖恩怂恿我接受一只香烟时,我就受不住了.
而 suffer 侧重于表示“忍受或经受令人不愉快的、甚至于痛苦的事”.
…; and no benefactions and research endowments can make up for the change in character which the city has suffered.
捐款和科研经费决不能弥补大学城所经受的性质上的变化.
stand 常与 bear 通用,如果用词确切,stand 总包含着“不退让”、“不畏缩”的“忍受”.
He can stand more pain than anyone else I know.
他比我认识的任何人都更能忍受痛苦.
