答案

56.C tell sb.sth.“告诉某人某事”。say后面接说的话；speak接语言，如speak English/Chi—nese；talk (with/to)“谈论”。因此答案为C.

57.C other“其他的”；another“又一个，再一个”；anything，others是代词，因此答案为C.

58.C up and down“上下地”；now and then“偶尔”；over and over“反复，再三”；here and there“各处，到处”；点头表示“yes”，因此答案为c.

59.D from side to side“从一端到另一端”，这里是说当我们说“不”时，头左右摇晃。

60.D这句话是说，听不见也不能说的人们借助于他们的手来与人交谈，neither…or…“既不…也不…”，符合题意。

61.A这句话是说下面的故事告诉了他们怎么用手来与人交谈，因此用how.

62.B修饰第一次出现的名词，又因为English是元音开头，因此用冠词an.

63.D once“曾经”；ever，never一般用在完成时中；before一般放在句末。因此选D.

64.B sit at a table是固定搭配，“坐在桌旁”。

65.C put sth.into“把某物放入”。

66.A take sth.out“把某物取出”。

67.A brin9“带来，拿来”，符合题意。take“拿走”；fetch“（去）拿来，请来，找来”；carry“携带”它们都是过去式，不合题意。

68.C a cup of tea“一杯茶”。

69.A shake one‘S head“摇头”。

70.B take sth.away“把某物拿走”。

71.B some coffee“一些咖啡”；little，few都是少得几乎没有的意思，且few修饰可数名词；any.用于否定句。

72.A when在这里引导时间状语从句，这句话是说“他正准备离开餐馆时有一个旅行者进来了”。

73.C put sth.on“把…放在上面”。

74.B minutes是可数名词，因此用a few；little和a little修饰不可数名词。

75.D on the table“在桌上”。根据常识，食物是放在桌上。
