选项 51._________A:. noB: manyC: a lotD: little

答案A

解析这篇文章讲的是美国报业的重大变革。报纸的对象都是严肃的读者,报纸上没有插图,文章也都是关于政治和商业问题的。根据这样的情况,这里填no比较合适。 表示所属关系,要用of。其后的“Randolph Hearst of The New York Journal.”也提醒我们用of。 在英语中,表示年、月的词前面要用介词in,例如in 1999,in May。表示具体日期的词的前面要用介词on,如on February 20, 1998。 根据上下文,这里需要一个形容词。比较C和D, excited是过去分词,有形容人的,沙清之意,而exciting表示“令人激动的”,主要修饰事物,所以应该选C。 lots of在意义上等同于a lot of, a few是几个,不能突出很多的意思。few的意义是否定的。因此选D。 在所有给出的选项中,只有every后面可以接单数形式的名词,其他词要求后面接复数形式的名词。 这里讲一位记者装疯被送到了精神病医院,因此应该用被动语态。 这是一个形近词辫析题。根据上下文的意思这里应该填“病人”。B. patience意为 “耐心、耐性”;C. patrician意为“贵族”;D. patriot意为“爱国者”。 在英语中,表示地名的专有名词前一般不加任何冠词。 这是一个表示比较的句子,more...than...意为“比……更……”。 从上下文可得知,Hearst想要降低报纸的售价,亦即比原来的价格低,所以要用比较级的形式,即cheaper。 表示“其他任何人的”,用anyone else's。 do anything one can意为“尽己所能”。由于文章的过去时态,所以选could。 send sb. to do sth.意为“派某人去做某事”。 going on表示正在发生。
