　　1.语境题.对文章首段进行分析后,本题的解答会变得十分容易.前一句讲聪明购买是一种可以让你的钱花更长时间的积极方法.注意到前句中的a positive way,而本句则是对前一句提出的观点的进一步解释,所以本题应该选择way.这道题时间上用到了我讲过的复现结构的解题方法.

　　2.语境题.本题是我讲过的标志词法解题的典型应用.分析句子The __1__ you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually __2__ you money or can add __3__ the cost.句中的宾语部分actually __2__ you money or can add __3__ the cost.中含有标志词or,而or前后的两部分结构是并列的,意思是相反的,即can actually __2__ you money和can add __3__ the cost.是两并列结构.由add可知后半部分是讲增加花费,则前半部分的意思应该是减少花费,即省钱的意思.所以本题答案为save.

　　3.词汇搭配题.本题考查动词add与介词构成词组的意思的辨析.add up的意思为总计达,与总数相符;意味着;说得通,合情合理.add to的意思为增加,增添,补充.add in的意思为包括,把…加进去.add on的意思为另外加上去.由此可知本题应该选择add to.

　　4.词汇搭配题.本题考查固定搭配take the simple example of意思为举一个简单的例子.

　　5.语境题.本题的解答需要结合后面的内容判断.首先可以确定该句话为一个宾语从句.其次注意到下一句话But when you get it home you may find that...即但是当你把它带回家时你会发现...,由此可以判断前一句话是你自己认为的,下一句话为实际发生的,考察四个选项后可以确定正确答案为 think.

　　6.语境题.分析本句话注意到谓语为make,所填入的形容词修饰的名词为buy,buy的名词的意思为买卖,便宜货.并注意到后面的状语if you choose one __7__ look you like and which is also the cheapest __8__ price.意思为如果你选择的那个你看起来很喜欢并且价格上最便宜的.由此可以确定应该选择best.四个选项中的其他三个选项均无法修饰buy.

　　7.语境题.本题用到的事我讲过的标志词法.分析句子if you choose one __7__ look you like and which is also the cheapest __8__ price.分析可知该句含有两个并列的定语从句,先行词均为one,由此可知该题应该选择与后面并列的which.

　　8.词汇搭配题.本题考查解词的用法.for一般表示原因,with一般表示方式,on一般表示关于...,in一般表示在...方面.由此可知该题应该选择in,意思为在价格方面最便宜的.

　　9.语境题.分析本句话it __9__ twice as long as a more expensive __10__ to dry your hair.由句中的long可知是指用吹风机把头发弄干得时间的长短,由此可知需填入的词语应该是可以表示花费时间的词语.由此可知选择take.

　　10.语境题.由分析句子可知,选入的词汇应该是hairdryer的同义词.考察四个选项爱内阁的名词形式的意思,可知应该选择model,其意思为模型,模范,模特儿,此处引申为吹风机.

　　11.词汇搭配题.分析句子可知,本题填入的词汇需要满足搭配:V.(动词)+直接引语+间接宾语.由此可知应该选择make.make+直接引语+间接宾语,即make sb.sth.,其意思为使某人(或某物)...

　　12.词汇搭配题.分析句子So what principles should you __12__ when you go out shopping?可知,本题考查选择一个动词可以与principles搭配.principles的意思为原理,原则.考察四个选项可知,应该选择 adopt,其意思为采纳,采用.

　　13.词汇搭配题.分析句子If you __13__ your home, your car or any valuable __14__ in excellent condition.可以发现,本题考查的结构是V.(动词) sth.in excellent condition.考查四个选项,keep sth.in excellent condition的意思是使某物处在良好的条件下.

　　14.语境题.本题可以使用标志词法解题.由句中的逗号以及标志词or可知your home, your car以及any valuable __14__是相互并列的三个结构,并且前两者属于any valuable __14_中.考察四个选项可知,应该选择possession,其意思为财产.

　　15.词汇搭配题.本题考查固定搭配in the long run,其意思为从长远观点来看,最终,终究,而其他三个选项均无此等搭配.

　　16.语境题.本题的解答有赖于对本文的主题的理解.本文的首段中提到purchasing an article or a service,可知应该选择物品意思的词语.考察四个选项appliance意思为器具,用具,器械.equipment意思为器械,设备,有制成套的设备.utility意思为公用事业facility意思为便利设施.由此可知应该选择appliance.

　　17.语境题.根据上下文的意思,并考察四个选项的意思后,可知本句的意思为如果你可以,使用它或借它来检验它适应你的特殊目的.本题的重点是区分purpose和goal的区别.两个词都有目标,目的的意思.goal侧重努力与野心的目标，英语解释是object of one's effort or ambition;purpose强调“意图”，英语解释是thing intended;由此可知正确答案为purpose.

　　18.语境题.文中有多处提到物品一词,但使用了很多不同的词汇表示.如:article,appliance.本题所需填入的词汇也是要求表示物品意思的词语.考查四个选项可知正确答案为item.或运用复现结构的解题方法,再下一句中可以发现item一词.

　　19.语境题.分析句子do check the price and __19__ is on offer.由句中的and可知,the price和__19__ is on offer是相互并列的结构.考察四个选项,可以轻易的派出B,C,D三个选项,因为在前句中并没有找到指代的对象.所以正确答案为what.on offer的意思为在出售中.

　　20.词汇搭配题.本题考查动词choose与介词构成的短语的意思的辨析.四个选项中只有from可以与choose搭配.choose from的意思为选择.

　　翻译答案:

　　1.ranges/varies from 50 cents to $4

　　2.was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather

　　3.busy preparing for

　　4.needn’t have borrowed it from the bank.

　　5.can’t have been cleaned
