名師點評
這是一則幽默,說明許多人都喜歡聽奉承話,有的人自以為清高,其實也被戴上“高帽子”, 而自己卻不知道。
1. D。 wear 表示狀態(tài), put on 表示動作。根據結構give sb. sth. to do可知D為正確選項。
2. D。
3. B。 因為要去另一個城市工作了, 故向他的老師道別。
4. A。 想做一個好官員, 應該說是不容易的。
5. B。 be strict with sb 意為“對某人嚴格要求”。
6. C。 準備了一百個高帽子,其實就是奉承的好話,而不是做或是買了許多高帽子。
7. D。 make sb. happy意為“使某人高興”。
8. A。
9. B。 這里應該用形容詞,表示老師聽了他的話有點生氣。
10. D。 由what 引導賓語從句,表示不要忘了老師教過的事。
11. A。 You are right表示贊同老師說的話。
12. C。 當出現(xiàn) no, nothing nobody 等一系列否定詞的時候,只能用almost 不能用 nearly。
13. B。 聽了奉承話以后, 他很高興。
14. A。 表示送出了一頂, 而不是買或者賣,與上文相呼應。
15. A。 left 這里表示“剩下的, 剩余的”。
