7、in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare.分析:该句为主从复合句。句中 that you have some business to attend to 为 that 引导的宾语从句,作 say 的宾语。译文:你可以乘一辆出租车去任何地方,告诉司机让你在任何地方下车,告 诉( 司机)你有一些事情要处理,然后不付车费就可以离开。1The underlined wo

13、ing is the best title of the passage?ALife in FinlandB A Society with “Foolish” PeopleC What a LifeDHonest accounts of the Finns答案与解析:B 考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章由人们认为芬兰人很“愚蠢”引出本文话题,接着举例介绍了芬兰人“愚蠢”的情况,最后点明主旨,即芬兰是一个道德水平很高的国家,人们的诚实让他们都成为绅士。据此可以判断,B 项最适合作文章标题。B2019郑州 质量预测Many years ago, people relied on the sun,
