　　答案與解析

　　1. C。mistake A for B (將A誤以為B)是固定搭配。

　　2. B。由常識可知，報社應(yīng)是“發(fā)布”消息，故用announce (give information about)。

　　3. C。由首句became a millionaire可知。

　　4. A。根據(jù)常識，看到自己本來沒有死卻報道死了這樣的消息，特別是說自己通過kill more people faster來發(fā)財?shù)脑u論，應(yīng)當(dāng)是“不高興，苦惱(unhappy or annoyed)”，不可能是“興奮的(excited)”“高興的(pleased)”“渴望的(anxious)”。

　　5. A。與destruction(毀滅)并列的應(yīng)是death(死亡)，上文的warfare (戰(zhàn)爭), kill more people 和The merchant ofdeath is dead也都說明要選A。

　　6. D。由后文設(shè)立獎金可知，是為了改變自我形象，要設(shè)法“被別人充滿愛與尊敬地銘記(be remember with love and respect)”。

　　7. C。由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遺囑(will)”中作的安排。

　　8. A。根據(jù)與名詞the Nobel prizes的搭配，又結(jié)合常識，應(yīng)當(dāng)是“設(shè)立”諾貝爾獎金。

　　9. D。獎金應(yīng)當(dāng)是將給那些為世界和平、文學(xué)和科學(xué)等領(lǐng)域做出過巨大貢獻的人。make contributions to…(對……做出貢獻)是固定搭配。

　　10. A。遺囑中安排設(shè)立獎金，因此，“普遍(by or to most people, widely)”認為，他到死時才意識到人生的真正意義。
