Mr. Jones opened a shop in Aston to sell writing-paper, pencils and things like that. During the first month, very few people visited his shop. He sold little, and he could see that he was going to lose money.
One night Mr. Jones sat by the fire and was worried after another very bad day. Suddenly he got an idea. He found a piece of wood and wrote to the following notice on it in big letters:
“WHAT DO YOU THINK I GIVE AWAY PENCILS AND PAPER AND INK”
He put up the notice in front of the shop window before he went to bed. He slept better than usual that night. The following day, many people came to the shop. Mr. Jones said good morning to them all with a bright smile and asked the first woman what she wanted.
She chose some writing paper and a pencil. As soon as he put them on her hands, she turned to leave the shop.
“That will be thirty cents(美分）, please,” he said.
“Why?” she asked in surprise.
“That’s the price of the paper and the pencil.”
“But your notice says it’s free,” she answered.
“Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”
She took him outside and showed him the notice “It is wrong too,” she said. “Where is the question mark after the word ‘think’?”
“There isn’t a question mark,” he said.
“But there should be one.”
“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake,” Mr. Jones said. “You’ve read my notice in the wrong way.”
“Not at all,” said the woman. “It is quite easy to read. It says: What do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”
“No,” Mr. Jones said. “You should read it like this: ________. And the answer to the question is: Certainly not! So you really have to pay me thirty cents, you see.”

C. more careful D. most careful
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意：请尽可能仔细的做作业，尽量不要犯任何错误。
考查固定短语和副词修饰动词。根据句意理解可知这里所填的词应该是修饰动词do的，所以应该用副词形式，选项B/ C/ D中 careful 都是形容词，不符合要求，排除掉，选项A中此处应该是as+形容词或副词原级+as结构，又因为do是动词形式，此处应该是副词 carefully 修饰动词do，此处表示“请尽可能仔细的做作业”，故选A。
【点睛】固定短语as+形容词原形或副词原形+as possible=as+形容词原形或副词原形+as one can，表示“尽可能地……”，做题时要注意形容词副词的选择。

【解析】
【详解】句意：这是一座由石头制成的桥。它有悠久的历史。
考查过去分词作后置定语。be made of“由……制成”，通常看得出原材料；be made from“由……制成”，通常看不出原材料。根据“It’s a bridge ... stone.”可知，该句表示“这是一座由石头制成的桥”，句子中已经出现系动词，不能再用谓语，故应用过去分词，作后置定语，修饰名词“bridge”。故选B。
15. The number of the delegates to the 19th CPC National Congress ________ 2,287. And there ________ a number of them being chosen from pioneers of different fields.
A. is; are B. are; are C. is; is D. are; is

Mr. Jones opened a shop in Aston to sell writing-paper, pencils and things like that. During the first month, very few people visited his shop. He sold little, and he could see that he was going to lose money.
One night Mr. Jones sat by the fire and was worried after another very bad day. Suddenly he got an idea. He found a piece of wood and wrote to the following notice on it in big letters:
“WHAT DO YOU THINK I GIVE AWAY PENCILS AND PAPER AND INK”
He put up the notice in front of the shop window before he went to bed. He slept better than usual that night. The following day many people came to the shop. Mr. Jones said good morning to them all with a bright smile and asked the first woman what she wanted.
She chose some writing paper and a pencil. As soon as he put them on her hands, she turned to leave the shop.
“That will be thirty cents(美分）, please,” he said.
“Why?” she asked in surprise.
“That’s the price of the paper and the pencil.”
“But your notice says it’s free,” she answered.
“Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”
She took him outside and showed him the notice “It is wrong, too,” she said. “Where is the question mark after the word ‘think’?”
“There isn’t a question mark,” he said.
“But there should be one.”
“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake,” Mr. Jones said. “You’ve read my notice in the wrong way.”
“Not at all,” said the woman. “It is quite easy to read. It says: What do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”
“No,” Mr. Jones said. “You should read it like this: ________. And the answer to the question is: Certainly not! So you really have to pay me thirty cents, you see.”
