　　答案与题解:

　　1. B 固定搭配make fortune，意为制造财富，发财，因此选 B。其他三项均不合适。

　　2. D 这里应该是一个由 what 引导的从句为主语的句子，表示使得 Ben 的故事更引人注意的 是，其他三项均无法引导该从句。

　　3. B 根据句意，是 Ben 被告知，因此选项 told 为E确答案。said 意为被说，suggested 意为被建议，reported 意为被报道，均不合句意。

　　4. C 联系上下文，了解到本句表达的是 Ben 曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写，而不是完全无法读写，因此 properly 才符合句意。absolutely 表示完全地，绝对地，totally 表示完全地，thoroughly 表示彻底地，完全地，均不合句意。

　　5. A 根据句意，很容易了解 Ben 是要证明他们对他的判断错了，而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的，或者不公平的，所以 wrong 是正确答案。

　　6. A 根据动词前的主语 local authorities 和后面的介词 with 可以知道他是被提供了一台个人电脑，所以选项 provide 为正确答案。如用 give 则不需跟介词 with，如用 offer 则需跟 to，如用 get 则需前面的主语是 Ben。

　　7. D 根据句意，易知文中耍表达的是虽然他不能阅读使用指南，因此 unable 为正确答案。impossible 表示不可能的，incapable 表示元能力的，-般形容不能胜任的; disabled 表示有残缺的。

　　8. C 根据句意，易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用 promised 则表示在爸爸的承诺 下，il1-vited 则是在爸爸的邀请下，animated 表示有生气的，均不符合句意，因此 encouraged 为正确答案。

　　9. B 根据句意，Ben 很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费一二每小时10英镑，只有 charge符合句意。

　　10. D 联系上下文，根据句意，Ben 创建了自己的公司一-Quad Computer，固定搭配 set up 表示创建，其他三项均不合适，所以选 D。

　　11. C 根据句意，Ben 把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中，根据后面的介词 to。可知，只有devote 是正确答案。

　　12. A 词组搭配 a couple of 表示一些，few 一般形容只需少量的几个，little 形容不可数名词，文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大，Ben 需要雇用一些员工，因此只有 couple 符合句意。

　　13. B 根据句意，Ben 开始与更大的公司做生意，固定搭配 do business with ...符合句意。其他三项均不合适。

　　14. A 固定搭配 overcome challenge，表示克服困难，克服挑战，因此选 A。overlook 表示不注意，忽视，overtake 表示赶上，overtake 表示把做得过分。

　　15. D 根据句意，价值2500万英镑的交易，显然 worth 是正确答案。valuable 表示珍贵的，值钱的，estimated 表示估计，预算，priced 表示给定价，附有定价的。
