10. A. generally B. basically C. usually D. certainly
答案与解析
1. C。mistake A for B (将A误以为B)是固定搭配。
2. B。由常识可知，报社应是“发布”消息，故用announce (give information about)。
3. C。由首句became a millionaire可知。
4. A。根据常识，看到自己本来没有死却报道死了这样的消息，特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论，应当是“不高兴，苦恼(unhappy or annoyed)”，不可能是“兴奋的(excited)”“高兴的(pleased)”“渴望的(anxious)”。
5. A。与destruction(毁灭)并列的应是death(死亡)，上文的warfare (战争), kill more people 和The merchant ofdeath is dead也都说明要选A。
6. D。由后文设立奖金可知，是为了改变自我形象，要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记(be remember with love and respect)”。
7. C。由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知，是在“遗嘱(will)”中作的安排。
8. A。根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配，又结合常识，应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。
9. D。奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to…(对……做出贡献)是固定搭配。
10. A。遗嘱中安排设立奖金，因此，“普遍(by or to most people, widely)”认为，他到死时才意识到人生的真正意义。
