　　答案與題解：

　　1. B 固定搭配make fortune，意為"制造財富，發(fā)財"，因此選 B。其他三項均不合適。

　　2. D 這里應該是一個由 what 引導的從句為主語的句子，表示"使得 Ben 的故事更引人注意的 是……"，其他三項均無法引導該從句。

　　3. B 根據(jù)句意，是 Ben 被告知，因此選項 told 為E確答案。said 意為"被說"，suggested 意為"被建議"，reported 意為"被報道"，均不合句意。

　　4. C 聯(lián)系上下文，了解到本句表達的是 Ben 曾被他的初中教師告知他將永遠不能正確讀寫，而不是完全無法讀寫，因此 properly 才符合句意。absolutely 表示"完全地，絕對地"，totally 表示"完全地"，thoroughly 表示"徹底地，完全地"，均不合句意。

　　5. A 根據(jù)句意，很容易了解 Ben 是要證明他們對他的判斷錯了，而不是說他們的判斷是假的、不真實的，或者不公平的，所以 wrong 是正確答案。

　　6. A 根據(jù)動詞前的主語 local authorities 和后面的介詞 with 可以知道他是被提供了一臺個人電腦，所以選項 provide 為正確答案。如用 give 則不需跟介詞 with，如用 offer 則需跟 to，如用 get 則需前面的主語是 Ben。

　　7. D 根據(jù)句意，易知文中耍表達的是"雖然他不能閱讀使用指南"，因此 unable 為正確答案。impossible 表示"不可能的"，incapable 表示"元能力的"，-般形容不能勝任的; disabled 表示"有殘缺的"。

　　8. C 根據(jù)句意，易知文中要表達的是在爸爸的鼓勵下。若用 promised 則表示在爸爸的承諾 下，il1-vited 則是在爸爸的邀請下，animated 表示"有生氣的"，均不符合句意，因此 encouraged 為正確答案。

　　9. B 根據(jù)句意，"Ben 很快就開始以自己的知識和能力收費一二每小時10英鎊"，只有 charge符合句意。

　　10. D 聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)句意，Ben 創(chuàng)建了自己的公司一-Quad Computer，固定搭配 set up 表示"創(chuàng)建"，其他三項均不合適，所以選 D。

　　11. C 根據(jù)句意，Ben 把所有的精力投入到公司經(jīng)營當中，根據(jù)后面的介詞 to?？芍?，只有devote 是正確答案。

　　12. A 詞組搭配 a couple of 表示"一些"，few 一般形容只需少量的幾個，little 形容不可數(shù)名詞，文中要表達的是公司已經(jīng)發(fā)展壯大，Ben 需要雇用一些員工，因此只有 couple 符合句意。

　　13. B 根據(jù)句意，Ben 開始與更大的公司做生意，固定搭配 do business with ...符合句意。其他三項均不合適。

　　14. A 固定搭配 overcome challenge，表示"克服困難，克服挑戰(zhàn)"，因此選 A。overlook 表示"不注意，忽視"，overtake 表示"趕上"，overtake 表示"把……做得過分"。

　　15. D 根據(jù)句意，""價值2500萬英鎊的交易"，顯然 worth 是正確答案。valuable 表示"珍貴的，值錢的"，estimated 表示"估計，預算"，priced 表示"給……定價，附有定價的"。
