11.usedto意思是“过去常常做某事”,此处表达的意思是“邻居史密斯先生很有钱,他的儿子常常来看约翰打铁”。haveto意为“不得不”;wantto意为“想要”;needto意为“需要”。12.这里表示他喜欢看这位铁匠工作。watch表示“观看”,see强调看到的结果,stare表示“长时间盯着”。13.此处意思为“年轻人,为什么不亲自尝试一下做鞋钉呢?”做鞋钉当然要用手,不是让他来“碰运气”;energy意为“精力”;way意为“方法,途径”。14.passtime“消磨时间”,符合文意“哪怕只是为了消磨时间”。save意为“节约”;lose意为“失去”;devote意为“投入,献身”。15.beofuse意为“有用”。根据上下文可知,意思应为“没准,有一天它会对你有用呢”。所以选C项。16.此处意为“经过短暂的练习”,即他练习做鞋钉。practice意为“练习”,故选A项。17.仅仅经过很短时间的练习,他便发现自己非常熟练起来,很快他就做了些最好的鞋钉,显然skilled合适。18.根据意思“他的儿子则因为战争的缘故失去了所有的财产”可知,应选择C项,表示原因。19.根据上下文,他不得不离开家园,被迫在另外一个国家住了下来。takeupresidence就是“安家”之意。takeover“接收,接管”;takedown“拆除,记下”;takeoff“脱下,起飞”。20.句型Itsohappenedthat...意思是“碰巧……”,符合句意“巧的是,在这个村庄有大量的鞋匠……”。21.根据上下文的逻辑关系,可知鞋匠应该是花大量的金钱去购买“鞋钉”,而不是metal(金属)、furs(毛皮)或cloth(布)。22.考查状语从句的引导词。此处意思是“有时,即使付了很高的价钱,他们也买不到想要的鞋钉”,所以应选择though来引导让步状语从句。23.根据上下文的逻辑关系,可知这个国家的这个地区需要大量军鞋。demand意为“需求,需要”,符合句意。24.根据语境,他在这个时候非常穷困,连维持生计都非常困难,所以选择earn,表示“赚,挣得”。25.在这个食不果腹的困难时刻,年轻的史密斯记起自己曾学过做鞋钉这门手艺,便突发奇想,想和这些鞋匠们做一个交易。显然应选择D项idea,表示“想法”。26.他对他们说,如果他们可以帮助他成立一个店铺,他就可以做鞋钉。故选B项,其他选项都不符合题意。27.根据句意“鞋匠们对他的这一提议欣喜若狂”可知应选A项。offer意为“提议”。28.很快,史密斯发现他做的鞋钉是村里面最好的。根据上下文,这里表示的范围应该是这个小村庄,故选village。29.根据语境可以判断,史密斯认为这真是有趣,做鞋钉也能挣钱,故选C项。30.根据语境判断,意思应是“即便是做鞋钉也会带来财富”。他感慨的不是做鞋钉能带来工作机会,而是可以借此挣钱谋生。故选C项。
