The moon is high． I see a fire． There are merchants sitting on carpets． There are tents and camels． I go over and the chief merchant stands up and takes out his sword．

‘Who are you?’ he asks me．

‘I am a Prince． I am running away from the Tartars． I do not want to be their slave(奴隶),’ I answer．

The merchant takes my hand and I sit beside him． Then a servant brings me milk and food．

In the morning the caravan starts on its journey． I ride on a red-haired camel next to the chief． The men of war walk with their weapons． Eighty mules follow us with all the things we have to sell． There are forty camels in the caravan．

参考答案

一、1． B

【解析】句意：我梦想的家有1000平方米。也就是说，我梦想的家的面积是1000平方米。

考查冠词的用法。a不定冠词，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前；an不定冠词，用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词，表示特指。have an area of“面积为”，area是以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an；根据“area of my dream home”可知，此处特指“我梦想的家”，第二空应该用定冠词the。故选B。

2． C

【解析】句意：去年我们种了几百棵树。我们计划今年种三千棵树。

考查数词的表达。表示确切的数量，用基数词+数词的单数形式；表示概数，用数词复数形式+of，所以第一空表示概数，所以填hundreds of；第二空前有基数词three，所以第二空填thousand，故选C。

…………
