教师点评

一女士在投稿时为了弄清楚编辑有没有看自己的稿件，故意将其中三页粘在一起。稿件被退回时，那三页依然粘在一起。该女士生气的质问编辑时，对方以一个巧妙的比喻作出了答复。

答案简析：

1.B。根据文意，这里应选择一个词或词组，修饰可数名词，表示“一些”，比较四个选项，只有a few合符条件，为正确选项。

2.D。把某物还给某人，可用give sth back to sb或return sth to sb来表达，细看句子，只有D项正确。

3.A。根据上下文可知，这个女士在稿件被退还时，看到那三页依然粘在一起，应当感到非常恼火，故选angry。

4.A。分析句子，这里应选择一个疑问副词，在句中作方式状语，表达“你怎么知道这篇故事不好?”之意，比较四个选项，应选How。

5.C。比较主从句中两个动作的先后关系，可知从句应用before引导。

6.B。比较四个词，lesson意为“功课，教训”;test意为“检测，测试”;question意为“问题”;thing意为“事情，东西”。根据句意，应选B。

7.B。句意为“当稿件被退回时，那几页依然粘在一起”，只有still合乎句意，为正确选项。

8.D。比较四个选项，只有way可用来表示“方式，方法”。

9.C。at breakfast为固定结构，意为“在吃早饭”。

10. D。don’t have to do sth = needn’t do sth 意为“不必干某事”。
