8．He________as if he has just come out of prison.
A．seems B．looks C．happens D．appears
答案 B [句意：他看起来仿佛刚从监狱里出来。seems暗示有一定根据的判断，这种判断往往接近事实；look着重由视觉得出的印象；appear强调外表的印象，含有实际并非如此的意思。happen to do碰巧干……。]

A．when；out tears B．that；into crying
C．which；into cry D．/；out crying

His friend__7__a great number of advertisements in newspapers __8__his business.He thought the style of writing was of__9__importance.So he helped him to write in another__10__.The next day，this__11__appeared in the newspaper：“If the man who was seen to__12__an umbrella from the London Church doesn't want to__13__trouble，__14__will return it to No.20 Broad Street.”

3． A．why B．what

C．Stolen D．Bought
答案 A [由文章第一句话Once a man lost his umbrella.可以得出答案。]
5． A．Who B．The person
C．Anyone D．Whoever
答案 D [本题可以通过语法分析来解决。will__6__是谓语，ten pounds 是宾语，__5__finds it and returns it 是主语从句，而且，该从句中缺少主语，既起到连接词的作用，又能做主语的有A和D项，由句意“无论是谁发现这把雨伞并归还的将得到10英镑”可知，此处为让步关系，故选Whoever。]

C．receive D．reward
答案 C [由本句含义可以得出答案。]

C．since D．because of
答案 D [此处是解释前面他的朋友登广告的原因。因为 his business是短语，所以不能用because。]
9．

答案 A [后文提到他的朋友帮他重新写广告，所以，他的朋友认为写作风格很重要。of importance作表语，great 是形容词修饰名词importance。]

C．language D．newspaper
答案 A [in another way 用另外一种方式。我们可以从前面的 He thought the style of writing was of__9__importance.较容易地得出答案。]
