典型例题
Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson,a 54-year-old secretary .He moves a round her office at work and goes at shopping with her.“Most people don’t seem to mind Allan,”says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful,“He’s my fourth child, ”she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying hi s health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog.
Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provide (提供) a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so you aren’t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish Kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance(保险) for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage(损坏) their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runns out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner. have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
1.Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because ______________.
A. he is her dog B. he is her child
C. he follows her everywhere D. he often falls ill
2.The money paid and dog taxes is used to ______________.
A. keep a high level of care for the people
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
3.If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A. The owner to the car B. The owner of the dog

4.From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ______________.
A. dogs are welcome in public places
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people care much about dogs
解析 1.这是一道细节题。考生应准确理解全文尤其是第一自然段的中心大意，并抓住in fact Allen is a dog这一关键的信息，便可得出A为最佳答案。
2.这是一道细节题。只要考生抓住第三自然段中money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill并理解其含义，使其得出C为最佳答案。
3.文章结尾的一句话提示考生，B为最佳答案。
4.这是一道推断题。从文章最后两个自然段中可以断定，D为最佳答案。

关于“At the shop”的常见问题】
常见问题1: At the shop
问题：
_______________ may say so, it is not true.
A. Anyone who B. Whoever C. No matter whom D. Whatever
解答:
解题指导：本题很容易误选A，这是因为没有弄清楚句法结构及whoever的用法的缘故。在句法上，这是一个含有让步状语从句的主从复合句，意为：“不论是谁说的，都不是真的”； whoever可用作连词，表示“无论谁”，相当于no matter who，引导让步状语从句，其它选项均不合题意。
答案：B
常见问题2: At the shop
问题：
She is cleverer and more diligent than _______________ in her class.
A. else B. someone else C. anyone else D. anyone else’s
解答:
解题指导：else adj “其他的”、“别的”，常用在疑问代词或不定代词之后。此句中，than之后接比较对象，表达“比任何其他人”之意，故答案应选C。若后接有名词，则else用所有格形式，如：That must be someday else’s umbrella.那一定是别人的雨伞。
答案：C
常见问题3: At the Shop
问题：
doesn't seem to have been any difficulty over the money problem.
A．It B．There C.That D.He

常见问题4: At the Shop
问题：
The workers insisted that their pay______.
A．was increased B．be increased
C．would be increased D．must be increased
解答:
导析：insist作“坚持要求”讲时，后面的从句要用虚拟语气，即should+动词或省掉should。答案：B
常见问题5: At the Shop
问题：
How aboutthe three of us______.
A．will go B．going C．to go D．go
解答:
导析：How about后要跟名词或动名词作宾语，而不能跟从句或不定式。the three ofus是going的逻辑主语。答案：B
常见问题6: At the Shop

I wonder_______used for.Was it a store?
A．what this room was B．what was this room
C．which was this room D．that this room

A．for B．of C．to D．that

--Would you like me to find another dictionary for you to __?
--No, thanks. I can __ it myself.
A． refer; do B． refer to; manage
C． depend on; try D． look up; afford
解答:
导析：第一空应填refer to，作后置定语修饰dictionary。refer是不及物动词，referto表示“查阅、参考”。按照英语习惯用法，“查字典”为look upthe words in a dictionary,不说look up the dictionary；第二空应填manage，其后常跟名词、代词或不定式表示“设法成功做某事”。答案：B
常见问题9: At the Shop
问题：
--Here is 20 dollars.
--Thank you. Here ______.
A． is the change B． are the changes
C． youare D． we are
解答:

常见问题10: At the Shop
问题：
Can you believe that in__a rich country thereshould be___many poor people?
A．such；such B．such;so C．so；so D．so；such
解答:
导析：该题考查的目的是了解学生对句型so...that和such...that的掌握情况。so...that和such...that都表示“如此……以至于”，so后常接形容词或副词，而such后常接名词。如果这一名词被many、much、little、few等所修饰，则要用so不用such。答案：B

In ancient Rome, a number of people lived on lending out money and collecting interests every month. In order not to make mistakes, some of them, who had much money and many debtors, used a special kind of book to record the sum of money lent out every day and the interests due. Those books used month as unit. They also had remarks columns(记录帐本) to show everything clearly.
Later, the simple and clear way of record-keeping had been widely used in other trades. Some changes had also been made. People began to use one page for each month and print advertisements and pictures on them for decoration(装饰).However, the previous(以前的) use of the books for record keeping is no longer that important. When putting together twelve pages of a year, there came today’s calendar(日历) .
