When she opened it, he said, “I found your purse,” and handed it to her.

    “Thank you very much,” she said. She opened her purse and took out all the money. She wanted to give the boy a small reward,   51    there were only bills of ＄20 in the purse and she thought that $ 20 was too   52    to give the boy. “I’m sorry,” she said, “but I don’t have any small    53   to give you.”

Answer 1

【主旨大意】這篇短文主要是講小男孩兩次拾到錢包，歸還給主人時(shí)，發(fā)生的一些有趣的故事。

46. B  根據(jù)spend …(in) doing sth. 花費(fèi)時(shí)間（或）金錢做某事, find “找到，尋找”意思。

47. A  考查定語從句，先行詞是人，故引導(dǎo)詞用who。

48. C  there be 中的be動(dòng)詞由后面的主語單復(fù)數(shù)形式?jīng)Q定的，即some money 為不可數(shù)名詞，“一些錢”，整篇故事用的過去式，故用was。

49. B  根據(jù)下文“能找到她的住址”，可確定名字和地址都印在駕照上。

50. B  knock on “敲門”，break into “破門而入”，故B正確。

51. B  根據(jù)下文“I’m sorry”可知，“她沒有給小男孩報(bào)酬”，所以用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but。

52. C  根據(jù)句意可知，“要給男孩$20，感覺有點(diǎn)太多”，所以too much正確。

53. A  根據(jù)句意可知“他沒有零錢給這個(gè)孩子”，故選change “零錢”。

54. A  another “又一，再一”的意思。

55. C  根據(jù)下文可知，“錢包里錢數(shù)沒少，但是錢的面值有所變化”，所以她感到奇怪，故C正確。
