  答案与题解:
  1. B 固定搭配make fortune,意为“制造财富,发财”,因此选 B。其他三项均不合适。
  2. D 这里应该是一个由 what 引导的从句为主语的句子,表示“使得 Ben 的故事更引人注意的 是……”,其他三项均无法引导该从句。
  3. B 根据句意,是 Ben 被告知,因此选项 told 为E确答案。said 意为“被说”,suggested 意为“被建议”,reported 意为“被报道”,均不合句意。
  4. C 联系上下文,了解到本句表达的是 Ben 曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写,而不是完全无法读写,因此 properly 才符合句意。absolutely 表示“完全地,绝对地”,totally 表示“完全地”,thoroughly 表示“彻底地,完全地”,均不合句意。
  5. A 根据句意,很容易了解 Ben 是要证明他们对他的判断错了,而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的,或者不公平的,所以 wrong 是正确答案。
  6. A 根据动词前的主语 local authorities 和后面的介词 with 可以知道他是被提供了一台个人电脑,所以选项 provide 为正确答案。如用 give 则不需跟介词 with,如用 offer 则需跟 to,如用 get 则需前面的主语是 Ben。
  7. D 根据句意,易知文中耍表达的是"虽然他不能阅读使用指南",因此 unable 为正确答案。impossible 表示“不可能的”,incapable 表示“元能力的”,-般形容不能胜任的; disabled 表示“有残缺的”。
  8. C 根据句意,易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用 promised 则表示在爸爸的承诺 下,il1-vited 则是在爸爸的邀请下,animated 表示"有生气的",均不符合句意,因此 encouraged 为正确答案。
  9. B 根据句意,“Ben 很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费一二每小时10英镑",只有 charge符合句意。
  10. D 联系上下文,根据句意,Ben 创建了自己的公司一-Quad Computer,固定搭配 set up 表示“创建”,其他三项均不合适,所以选 D。
  11. C 根据句意,Ben 把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中,根据后面的介词 to。可知,只有devote 是正确答案。
  12. A 词组搭配 a couple of 表示“一些”,few 一般形容只需少量的几个,little 形容不可数名词,文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大,Ben 需要雇用一些员工,因此只有 couple 符合句意。
  13. B 根据句意,Ben 开始与更大的公司做生意,固定搭配 do business with ...符合句意。其他三项均不合适。
  14. A 固定搭配 overcome challenge,表示“克服困难,克服挑战”,因此选 A。overlook 表示“不注意,忽视”,overtake 表示“赶上”,overtake 表示“把……做得过分”。
  15. D 根据句意,"“价值2500万英镑的交易”,显然 worth 是正确答案。valuable 表示“珍贵的,值钱的”,estimated 表示“估计,预算”,priced 表示“给……定价,附有定价的”。
