[单选题]Mrs. White is different from her friends who were ______.

正确答案 ：B

not always hopeful

解析：解析：本题题干上的信号词为different和friends，依据句为“Unlike her friends， however，she never lost heart.”其中lose heart =lose hope。此句意为“她从来都是满怀希望，而她的朋友与她不同，并不是经常满怀希望”。

[单选题]The passage suggests that the early shops for making tools were ______.

正确答案 ：A

not very sophisticated

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“At first，these articles were whittled with a knife，but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.”在这里，A选项的not very sophisticated 意思为“并不复杂，是简单的”，对应原文中的primitive(原始的，简单的)。其他选项的内容属于无关信息。

[单选题]Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital. The luxurious and recently-renovated Beijing Hotel said it had received nearly 100 telephone inquiries from people wanting to book rooms during the Games since Beijing won its bid to host the event. "Out of these people, foreigners make up 30 to 40 per cent, including people calling from the United States and Europe," a hotel sales manager surnamed Song said.

正确答案 ：D

The 2008 Olympic Games will be hold there.

解析：解析：本题的依据句是文章的第一个句子“Beijing's top hotels are fielding scores of calls from foreigners and Chinese people eager to book rooms during the 2008 Olympic Games in the Chinese capital.”其他个别选项尽管涉及了第一段的内容，但都是类似于举例说明的细节信息，与本题的问题没有必然的因果关系。

正确答案 ：A

I'm sorry, but I must

解析：解析：主人诚心挽留，客人坚持要走。由于不能接受主人的好意，客人应表示歉意，故而选择A．I'm sorry，but I must比较合理。其他选项使用场合不当。
