Charles Dickens was a famous nineteenth-century writer and the signature " Charles Dickens" is rarity enough to command a price. When I saw a cheque【C1】________(sign) by him, which was neatly framed and sitting in the window of an antique shop, I was anxious to know just how much of a 【C2】 p________. Like most things in antique shops it provided an immediate curiosity from being unpriced. Four, say five pounds at the 【C3】________, I thought, since the piece of paper 【C4】________no more than six or seven hand-written words and was not after all, some page of Oliver Twister.
But how 【C5】p________that renowned native of Portsea, near Portsmouth, would have been to know that even an order for money written by him was fetching as high as fifteen pounds. The frame was ordinary enough, but the item itself, I was told by a quiet-spoken dealer, was 【C6】"________" (price). However, he indicated, you couldn’t make a living with a shop full of priceless articles, in consequence of which he was asking a trifling fifteen pounds.
When I explained I was interested only in the price he fell back on a device many dealers use today and suggested I buy it on hire purchase. When I reaffirmed my price-only interest he 【C7】________on my having a look at it. It was made 【C8】o ________for six pounds. How it got on to the antique market the dealer didn’t say. 【C9】 In________, he told me again how much he would like me to have it—for 15 pounds, in easy installments.
Fortunately, the arrival of a new 【C10】cu ________ended this growing threat of weekly payments and also, provided me with a getaway.
【C5】
选项
答案
pleased
解析
该句的意思是“但是,如果这位著名的朴次茅斯附近的波特西本地人知道他写的一张支票居然能卖到15英镑,他会多么高兴啊”。空白处在how后面,空白处为形容词,同how构成感叹句。再根据意思说能卖到15英镑,比之前提到的要多得多。因此这个人是感到高兴或满意。故填入pleased。
