2.聯(lián)系上文，他也是一位著名的演講家，可知許多人喜歡聽(tīng)他的演講。Talk可用作名詞“演講”，故選C。

3.短語(yǔ)辨析。A.為……感謝；B.因?yàn)椋�由于；C.和……友好相處；D.參加。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知他由于他的作品要去一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)，故選B。

6.動(dòng)詞辨析。Arrive一般不和介詞to搭配使用；get to為非正式用于；reach為及物動(dòng)詞，不需要介詞。聯(lián)系下文，可知指的是他到達(dá)這個(gè)鎮(zhèn)上后，故選A。

7.短語(yǔ)辨析。too much太多，修飾不可數(shù)名詞；much too太；too many太多，修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)；many too無(wú)此用法。聯(lián)系上文，可知此處指的是有許多蚊子，蚊子為可數(shù)名詞，故選C。

8.聯(lián)系下文，可知他開(kāi)了一個(gè)玩笑。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知本句描述的是過(guò)去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，故用一般過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)。選D。

考點(diǎn)：有關(guān)美國(guó)作家馬克吐溫的記述文

點(diǎn)評(píng)：這篇短文內(nèi)容比較簡(jiǎn)單，理解不難。各小題與上下文聯(lián)系比較緊密，答題中一定要注意聯(lián)系上下文。答完后多讀幾遍，看看是否符合邏輯，適當(dāng)修改。個(gè)別小題可以當(dāng)做單獨(dú)的詞義辨析題來(lái)做，先區(qū)分詞義，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境選出最能使語(yǔ)句通順的答案。
