&&&&&Might be the be-all and the end-all &#151; here,

&&&&&We'ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
&&&&&We still have judgment here, that we but teach
&&&&&Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
&&&&To plague the inventor. This even-handed justice
&&&&Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
&&&&To our own lips. He's
&&&&First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
&&&&Strong b then, as his host,
&&&&Who should against his murderer shut the door,
&&&&Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan

18.&clear in his great office& blameless in [carrying out the duties of] his great position [as king] .
&&&&So clear in his great office, that his virtues

A downpour of rain was thought to still the wind. 27.&Vaulting&...&other: Macbeth compares his ambition to a horseman who tries to vault into the saddle, only to fall to the ground on the other side of the horse.
&&&&Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubins, horsed
&&&&Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
&&&&Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
&&&&That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
&&&&To prick the sides of my intent, but only
&&&&Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
&&&&And falls on the other &#151;
&&&&&Enter LADY [MACBETH].
28.&How now? what news? what's the matter? what's going on? One look at his wife tells Macbeth that she's not happy.

习题“My grandmother was an iron-willed woman, the feared head of the family. When I was five years old, she in...”的分析与解答如下所示：
这是一篇趣味性记叙文。作者通过一件小事描写了祖母和祖父的两个截然不同的处理方法以及祖父的幽默：在作者报复了祖母以后，祖父说“Eric，你帮我出气了”。26. B前文说她邀请了一些亲戚朋友到公寓里聚会。此处表示：在这些客人中。27. A因家里有钱以及下文的“习惯于我行我素”可知他们的小女儿被宠得非常娇气，脾气很蛮横。Spoil表示“宠坏，溺爱”。28.D这里表示祖母认为他们是最重要的客人，极力讨好他们。29. A晚会进行中，我走进了洗手间并随手把门关上。这里用make one’s way to表示向…走去。而其他动词的含义不符合语境：B找到去…的路，C挤出一条路，D蜿蜒前进。30. B由and simply walked in可知那个小女孩推开洗手间的门进来了。31. C从语境可知这里用be supposed to表示should理应做……；应该做……。句意为：“难道你不知道当一个男孩在使用洗手间的时候女孩子是不可以进来的吗！？32. D从上文内容可知作者这个时候很生气。33. A本题用动词complain表示“投诉”，历来我行我素的女孩出来没有被人这么呵斥过，她哭着向她的父母和我奶奶告状。34. B当我从洗手间出来，祖母劈头盖脸地把我骂了一通。35. C等她骂完叫我滚开之后，晚会继续进行。这里用carry on表示“继续”。36. D从下文可知祖母发现有水从洗手间的门缝里涌出来。37. A撞开洗手间的门，发现洗手盆和浴缸都被塞子塞住了。38. B这里用过去进行时表示祖母进去的时候看见水正水正哗啦啦地直流。39.C每个人都知道是谁搞的鬼，愤怒的祖母使劲地挥舞着双手要打我，客人们马上在我周围形成了一堵人墙保护我。这里用protective表示“保护性的”。40. A此处是so…that 句型，表示“如此愤怒，（尽管有人墙保护）差点打了我”。41. B祖父牵着我的手来到窗前。表示牵着/抓着某人的手用介词by +the +身体某部位。此处的the 不能用his, her, my代替。其他选项与句子意义不符。42. D上文说祖父很温和，因此他很少提高嗓门和别人说话。从句子结构(倒装)和语境看，只有D项符合语境。43. A他也从来没有和祖母吵架。44. C由下文意义可知祖父的反映是：没有半点生气或烦恼的样子。从搭配看B项不对。45. B此处表示“祖母她先无缘无故地骂了我一顿”，这回我故意捣乱之后让她骂就有理由了。
