A. declared B. threatened

C. warnedD. exclaimed

【归纳】declare意为“宣布, 声称,声明”;warn意为“告诉;警告”;exclaim意为“惊叫”,均不符合句意。threaten此处意为“有……的危险”。它还有“威胁说要;威胁,恐吓”之意。

3. It is an experience I shall never forget and shall value for the rest of my life.(Page 32)

【考点1】 value作名词意为“价值”;作动词意为“估价;重视,珍视”。

A. the restB. the other

C. another D. the others

【归纳】 work此处为不可数名词,故可排除B、C、D. rest作名词意为“其余的(部分或人)”,与定冠词连用,可以指代可数名词或不可数名词。

4.Being black and a woman made life even more difficult in America at that time.(Page 34)

A. The president will attend

B. The president to attend
