Question

In this early day of the United States of America, it wasn’t easy ____ from one town or city to _____. There were no trains. Of course, and the roads were very poor. If a man wanted to go from one place to another, he often _____ a horse. And because the roads were bad, he sometimes got very dirty.
One day a man came into a hotel in a little country town. His clothes were very dirty, and he looked very tried. “ Do you have a room here _____ me?” he asked. The hotel man at the desk thought, “ I don’t want this man ____ here. He’s too dirty for my hotel.” “ I’m sorry.” He said. “ We don’t have any ___ rooms. There’s a small hotel down the street. You can ask there.”
Soon an important-looking man having fine clothes came into the hotel. “ I’ve come to see Mr. Jefferson,” he said. “ Mr. Jefferson?” “ Yes, Vice-president(副總統) Jefferson. We planned to meet here.” The hotel man was ____ “ A man _____ dirty clothes was just here. I thought he was a farmer, and sent him to another hotel a few minutes ago.” The hotel man _____ the Vice-president’s room in the other hotel.
“ Oh, Mr. Jefferson,” he said, “ I’m very sorry I thought you were a farmer. We have a room at our hotel. Please come back.”

試題分析：這篇短文主要講述了過去美國由于交通不便，人們主要是騎馬出行，這經常使得衣服沾滿泥水。一天，美國副總統杰佛遜來到一家鄉村小旅店，由于衣服臟而被不知情的店主拒絕入住，后來在旁人的指點下，店主慌忙請其入住，但這種以貌取人的做法自然是于事無補。
小題1:考查動詞及語境的理解。It’s+adj.+to do sth是一個固定句型，表示做某事是怎樣的。it wasn’t easy to get from one town or city to …(從一個城市到另一個城市是不容易的），故選C。
小題2:考查不定代詞及語境的理解。Other：別的、其他的，the other：（兩者中的）另一個，another：（泛指）另一、又一，不與定冠詞連用。根據上下文可知，這里是指美國任何一個不確定的城。故選C。
小題3:考查動詞及語境的理解。“騎馬”應表達為ride a horse。由于是敘述過去的事情，時態應用過去時，故選C。
小題4:考查介詞及語境的理解。for常用來指“為……準備”、“適合……”，to/at 表示動作指向的對象,of表示部分或從屬關系。根據語境，這里應該是指“有沒有一個為我準備（適合我）的房間”。故應選A。
小題5:考查固定短語及語境的理解。want sb to do sths是固定用法，表示“想要某人做某事”，在文中，店主不想讓“這個人”住在這里。故選B。
小題6:考查副詞及語境的理解。本句暗含比較意義，即：我們沒有更多的房間了。more 是many,much是比較級。not …any more表示“不再……”，故選D。
小題7:考查形容詞及語境的理解。happy：高興的，開心的，sad：悲傷的、傷心的，afraid：害怕的，lucky：幸運的。根據語境，當店主得知自己拒絕的是副總統時，當然表現出害怕的神情。故選C。
小題8:考查介詞及語境的理解。根據語境，這里應該是指“穿著臟衣服的”，在所給的詞中，in表示穿著的狀態。故應選B。
小題9:考查動詞及語境的理解。 hurry是不及物動詞，不可直接接賓語，如要接賓語，要借助介詞to,即hurry to +地點，表示“匆忙向某地走去”。故應選C。
小題10:考查副及語境的理解。too,also,either 均表示“也”的意思，但用法不同。too用于肯定句末，also用于句中，either用于否定句末。根據語境，如果沒有適合農民的房間，也就沒有適合副總統的房間了。故應選D。
