---His attitude to me was like ______a friend.
A. the one of       B. that of
答: that做代词, 表示特指概念, 既可指代单数可数名词, 也可指代不可数名词, 相当于 “the+名词”
eg: Few pleasures can equal ______ of a cool drink on a hot day.
从题意分析, 代词指代的热天喝冷饮的 “快乐” 即the pleasure (of a cold drink), 为特指概念, 这儿应填that此处that替代的是 “the+可数名词单数(pleasure)”

32. A book may be compared to the company you keep. If it is good, you cannot keep it ______ long; it bad; you cannot get rid of it ______early.
A. too; very     B. so; so     C. too; too      D. very; too
答: 答案: A
弄清so, very, too作副词用在意义上的区别, 是正确答题的关键:
so---to such a (great) degree强调达到某种程度,  “如此” “这么, 那么(……以致)”的意思;
very---especially; to a great degree用于加强语气, “很, 非常”
not very---in no way; only slightly, to a small degree “决不”、“确实不”; “不大, 稍微”
too---more than enough; to a higher degree than is necessary, right, or good. 带有一定的感情色彩, “太, 过分”
题中第一空显然用too , “好的公司你不能呆太久”/ “好书你不能拥有太久” (隐含: “尽管主观上你想, 但客观上不能”) 第二空符合not very的第一个意思, 意即: 不好的公司你想尽早摆脱、不好的书你想尽快放弃也决不能实现.

A. Not both     B. Not all      C. Neither       D. None of

34. New reports say peace talks between the two countries ---with no agreement reached.
A. have broken down     B. have broken out
C. have broken in       D. have broken up
答案是A. 我觉得应选D, 请老师解答一下!!!
答: 弄清break所构成的几个短语在意义上的区别, 尤其是break down和break up的区别;
break down用作不及物动词短语, 有 “挫折、失败” (to come to an unsuccessful end)的意思.
break up用作及物或不及物动词短语, 也有 “结束、失败、破裂”的意思, 用英文解释为: to come or bring to an end,  especially by separation.. 理解这个解释, 也就会知道break up所造成的结果里含有 “分开、分离”的意义.
再看看句子所表达的意义, 这里用have broken down更恰当.
