8、起来也比较简洁。由fit comfortably可知此处指钢笔好用。 答案 B 6.A.taking B.finding C.determining D.seeking 解析 打算钢笔使用起来是否舒适的最重要的因素是钢笔的粗细。determining起打算作用的,打算性的。 答案 C 7.A.stronger B.weaker C.smaller D.larger 解析 假如你有一张大手并且手指较粗的话,你可能更宠爱一支较粗的钢笔。由上句的Having a small hand and thick fingers可知此处应当用和small相反的形容词。故选D

15、based on 以……为基础,是过去分词短语作a pen 的后置定语。 Cloze 2 体裁:说明文 话题:健康生活 时间:15分钟 There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere.We can see there is a lot of sleeping on the bus or train on the __1__ home from work in the evenings.A man will be __2__ the newspaper,and seconds
