Onemorepiecewasaddedandthewalletsplit。17.B。钱包已经装满了，而且是一个旧钱包，继续装可能会裂开。所以选burst“破裂”。最后一句话中的“split”为同义词复现。18.D。贪婪的乞丐认为钱包还能多装一点。hold“保存”符合语境。19.C。treasure(财宝)这里代指金币。钱包破裂后金币自然会掉到地上。present礼物，food食物，metal金属，均不符合句意。20.A。句意：衣衫褴褛的乞丐除了破裂的钱包一无所有。nothing什么也没有。三、阅读理解1.A。由第一段第三句“Inthiswaytheylearnwhatisgoingonintheworld。”可知人们读报的目的是为了了解所发生的事情。2.C。根据前半句“...theymaybeinsuchahurrythattheyhavetime...”的暗示可猜测出glance意为“浏览”。3.D。根据常识可知，人们通过看标题可以大体了解文章所包含的内容。4.C。由第二段第一句“Mostpapershaveseveraleditions,especiallyonSundayswhentheeditionsarelargerthanusual”可知周日版一般比平时的内容要多些。5.B。由第一段最后一句中的“Europedidn’thavearegularlypublishednewspaperuntil1609,”可知，欧洲直到1609年才拥有了第一份定额发行的报纸，这份报纸创办于德国。6.D。本题易误选为C项。文章的最后一段告诉读者英文报纸作为一个整体有着最大的发行量，但对于一份报纸来说，发行量最大的应属于日本的一家报纸。从而也暗示读者，世界上有各种各样的报纸。7.A。本文主要告诉读者有关报纸的历史，它并不仅仅告诉了我们有关日报的历史，因此B项不妥当；而C项只说出了报纸的开始；D项则是说有关读报的情况，从而排除C、D两项。四、书面表达Possibleversions: Withthedevelopmentofinformationtechnology,moreandmorepeoplewatchTVorgetonlinetogettheinformationtheyneedinsteadofr
