Only once a year, on his birthday, did Charlie Bucket ever get to taste a bit of chocolate(巧克力糖). The whole family 1_____ up their money for that 2____ occasion(時刻), and when the great day arrived, Charles was always 3_____ with one small chocolate bar(條)to eat 4_____. And each time he 5_____ it, on those wonderful birthday mornings, he would place it 6_____ in a small wooden box that he 7_____, and treasure it as though it were a bar of solid 8______; and 9____ the next few days, he would 10_____ himself only to look at it, but never to 11____ it. Then at last, when he could 12____ it no longer, he would peel(剝)back a tiny 13_____ of the paper wrapping at one corner to 14______ a tiny bit of chocolate, and then he would take a tiny nibble(輕咬)——just enough to allow the lovely sweet taste to 15_____ out slowly over his 16_____. Then next day, he would take 17_____ tiny nibble, and so on, and so on. And 18____this way, Charlie would make his six-penny bar of birthday chocolate 19_____ him for more than a 20_____.

參考答案:
1、選D。從前一句來看,這家生活十分貧窮,以致連買一塊巧克力糖的錢也要通過節(jié)省這一途徑。余者不合文意。
2、選A。B、D不合文意,首先可予排除,C不能概全,實際上這時什么心情都有。從后一分句中的great day中可推知,這是一個“不同尋常”的時刻。
3、選A。從詞匯搭配看,另三詞不能與with連用。
4、選C。根據(jù)下文可知是給他“獨自”吃。
5、選B。與上一句的present(給予)相對應。
6、選C。從as though it were a bar of solid…來看,他將巧克力糖看作象寶貝一樣,絕對舍不得一下子吃光,而是將其“小心翼翼地”放在盒子里,以便慢慢享用。
7、選D。belong不及物,不能接賓語,imagine和reject不合文意,這三項不能選用。
8、選B。a bar of solid gold意為“金條”,根據(jù)常識和修飾詞solid可選定。
9、選A。憑語感。
10、選B。根據(jù)語境應為“允許”自己看。其余不合邏輯。
11、選D。與look at 形成對比。
12、選C。根據(jù)下文“他將其剝開一點輕咬”來看,他已不能“忍受”巧克力糖的誘惑了。
13、選A。下一個空格后再現(xiàn)了a tiny bit這一短語。
14、選C。expose“使露出”。另show與separate不合文意,taste是下一步才有的動作,故這三項應予排除。
15、選B。spreed out擴散開,合乎文意。而stick out(伸出)。search out (尋找,找到),speak out(說出)明顯不合句意。
16、選D。根據(jù)常識,味道應在“舌”面上擴散開。
17、選D。another表示“(三者以上的)另一個”。
18、選C。in this way “以這種方式”。
19、選B。last在此意為“夠……之用”。余者不合文意。
20、選C。根據(jù)全文不難推斷。
