Question

Joe Biggs was a butcher. His shop was in a village in the beautiful south of England, and he 1 in it for many years while his father was there. Then when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop, and Joe was alone in it, so he had to work 2.
Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop 3 at one o’clock on Thursday, and it was closed the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the 4 days.
Most of Joe’s 5 came to his shop from the nearest town, but sometimes he got up earlier than usual in the morning and 6 into the city to choose meat. It was 7 there.
Joe had a big 8 in his shop, but he tried not to buy too 9 meat at a time, and to 10 it before he bought more.
One 11 a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. “Sorry I’m late,” she said, “but some friends have just telephoned to say that they are coming to 12 tonight, and I need more 13.”
Joe only had one piece of meat in the shop. He had sold all the others 14 in the day. He took the piece 15 and said to the woman, “This is 6.5 pounds.”
“That piece is too 16.” the woman said. “Haven’t you got anything bigger?”
Joe went 17 the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out 18 and shut the door of the refrigerator 19, then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, “This piece is bigger and more expensive. It’s 8.75 pounds.”
“Good,” the woman answered with a smile, “give me 20 of them, please.”

試題分析：本文一篇記敘文。文章講述了Joe在肉店買肉的故事，文章結尾發人深省。
1.C考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。此處live生活，居住；study學習； work工作； play玩耍。Joe Biggs是一名屠夫，他和父親在肉店一起工作（work）了想當年。根據上下文語境選C。
2.B考查副詞詞義辨析。此處more更多；harder 更加努力；later后來；again再一次。父親65歲后就不在肉店工作了，就只剩下Joe一個人，所以他必須更加努力（harder）地工作。故選B。
3.A考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。此處shut 關門； starte開始；open開門；serve服務。根據文意可知，他一周工作5天半，周日關門，周六最忙，所以只能是周四1點鐘開始關門，半天不營業。故選A。
4.D考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處hardest最難；easiest 最簡單；quietest最安靜；busiest最繁忙。根據文意可知，周日不營業，所以周六最繁忙（busiest）。故選D。
5.B考查名詞詞義辨析。此處customers客戶； meat肉；buyers 買者； friends朋友。Joe肉店里的肉（meat）是從最近的城鎮買來的。故選A。
6.C考查動詞詞義辨析及語境理解。此處walk步行；flew 乘飛機；drove開車；. ran跑。根據文意，他步行、跑著和乘飛機買肉，都不符合邏輯，所以開車去買肉。故選C。
7.D考查形容詞詞義辨析。此處easier較簡單的；fresher較新鮮的；nearer較近的； cheaper較便宜的。根據文意，他早上很早就開車進城買肉，就是為了買便宜的。本題易誤選B，合格的肉都應該是新鮮的，所以B錯誤。
8.A考查名詞詞義辨析。此處refrigerator冰箱；room 房間； kitchen廚房；cupboard櫥柜。根據文意可知，他的肉店應該有一個大的冰箱，以防肉變壞。故選A。
9.A考查副詞詞義辨析。此處much 多； expensive 貴；fresh新鮮；adequate充裕的。根據文意可知，他有一個大的冰箱，所以他一次不買太多（too much）的肉，賣完之后再買新肉。故選A。
10.C考查動詞詞義辨析。此處eat 吃；cook 烹調；sell賣；freeze冷凍。根據文意可知，他有一個大的冰箱，所以他一次不買太多的肉，賣（sell）完之后再買新肉。故選C。
11.A考查語境理解。根據文意可知，周四一點關門，正好一位婦女在一點差五分的時候來買肉，可以推知是在星期四。因為星期四一點關門。故選A。
12.B考查名詞詞義辨析。此處party聚會；dinner餐；lunch午餐； dance跳舞。有幾個朋友打電話說，他們今晚要來吃飯，我需要更多的肉。Come to dinner意為：來吃飯。
13.C考查名詞詞義辨析。此處food 食物；vegetable 蔬菜；meat 肉；fruit水果。根據文意可知，有幾個朋友打電話說，他們今晚要來吃飯，我需要更多的肉。肉店里自然賣的是肉，故選C。
14.B考查副詞的用法。此處later 后來；earlier早些時候；quicker更快的；cheaper更便宜的。Joe只有一塊肉了，這天的早些時候把其他的肉都買了。根據句意選B。

16.A考查形容詞的用法。此處small小的；large大的；cheap便宜的；bad壞的。根據后文的Haven’t you got anything bigger?可知，用small，這是一對反義詞。
17.C考查介詞的用法及語境理解。此處outside外面；from 從……，由……； into進入； through通過。他從肉店后面的房間走進來，打開冰箱。
18.B考查副詞詞義辨析。此處still 仍然；again再一次；even即使；back回來。他再一次（again）把那塊肉拿出來。故選B。
19.D考查副詞詞義辨析。此處carefully仔細地；quickly快速地；lightly輕輕地；heavily 重重地。他把冰箱的門重重地關上，讓外面的那位婦女聽到聲音，意思是說，他拿了一塊新的。結果那位婦女兩塊都要。
