唯独没有考虑到天气
Why did Harrison sell his house so quickly?
My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often

新概念英语第二册第二十课课后习题答案详解
Lesson 20
1. b 根据课文第4行 I never catch anything---not even old
boots, 只有b. nevercatches anything 与课文实际内容相同，而其他3个选择都与课文内容不符。
2.c 根据课文最后一句I am only interested in sitting in a boat
and doing nothingat all! 只有c. doing nothing 是正确答案， 而其他3个选择都不符合课文内容。
3.b 本句是对主语提问的，回答是Fishing.a. who (谁)是对主语提问的；c. whom(谁)是对宾语提问的；d. whose(谁的)确是对定语提问的；只有b. which 是对做主语的事物提问的，所以选b.
4.b 本句是带never的否定句，只有b. anything 可以用在否定句中。 而a. nothing若用在否定句中，就会使原句变成肯定意义的句子，不符合题目意思；c. something 只能用于肯定句中；d.
everything也不能用在否定句中。
5.c 前面句子 I am even less lucky 中的 less(不及)是表示否定意义的比较级,只有c. not so是表示否定意义的,而其他3个选择都没有否定的意思.
6.b 只有b. an empty bag 最符合语法。 而其他3个选择都有语法错误。 a. a empty bag 中empty是以元音开头的，前面不能用a
而应该用an; c. empty bag 中 bag 是可数名词，需要用an 来修饰； d. oneempty bag 不符合习惯用法，单数可数名词前通常用不定冠词a 或an 修饰，除非表示强调才用one 修饰。 因此应该选b.
