名師點評

一位美國人在巴黎買了幅畫，回去掛上又怕上下顛倒，最后只好請來畫家本人。全文通俗易懂，選詞時要根據(jù)事情的發(fā)展過程。

答案簡析在下一頁：

1. C。上文說：他認為這畫很好。 推斷下文：因為他買這畫付了許多錢。句中的介詞for是個重要提示。

2. C。上文說：那美國人買了畫。推斷下文： 回到旅館，當然要把畫掛起來欣賞。

3. B。意思說“他看了好長時間，還是分不清上下”。

4. A。短文最后一句說：畫被掛倒了。 推斷此句：因此，那美國人辨別不出哪邊是畫的頂部， 哪邊是畫的底部。

5. B。由于上下不分，所以那美國人就把畫反復顛倒看。

6. A。句中的this是個重要提示。

7. C。盡管顛來倒去，還是不能斷定上下。

8. D。他最后想出了辦法。

9. B。他先在餐廳掛上畫。

10. D。接上文(他在餐廳中掛了那副畫)可推斷下文： 美國人邀請畫家來進餐。

11. A。美國人邀請畫家的目的是：看畫家本人有什么反應。 因此，對那副畫他一言不發(fā)。

12. A。首先他們進入餐廳吃晚飯。 下文中的短語 At last是個重要提示。 #p#分頁標題#e#

13. C。look straight at 表示“盯著……看”。

14. A。畫家也被搞糊涂了，他戴上眼鏡并將畫看了又看。

15. B。他終于明白了那畫被掛到了。
