He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income 能够判断只有c. it earns money 与课文的实际内容相符，是牧师拒绝把树砍掉的原因，其他3个选择都与课文的实际情况不符，所以选b. 2. d 根据课文最后两句…the tourists have been picking leaves and… So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death, 能够看出只有d. Tourists who have picked leaves haven’t died (摘树叶的游客们没有死)是真实的，与课文的内容相符，其他3个选择都与课文的事实不符。 3. a 该句缺少主语和谓语，只有一个that引导的从句。只有a. They say (他们说，人们说)，最适合这个句子，也合乎语法和习惯用法。 其他3个选择b. it said (它说)意思不对，应该是it is said 才准确;c. Said 缺少主语;d. It is saving 不合乎习惯用法，应该是It is said 才对。所以选a. 4. a 该句中的if 从句是过去时，那么主句就应该是过去将来时，即用would 加动词原形，表示与现在事实相反，所以只有选a. would 才能使主句He would die 与If 从句相配，构成虚拟语气。其他3个选择都不合乎语法。 5. c
