语篇导读　本文为说明文，介绍了小说《百万英镑》的故事梗概。　　　

1．published　解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作句子的状语，且publish与主语The Million Pound Bank Note是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词。

2．who/that　解析　考查引导词。空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词an American，关系词在定语从句中作主语，指人，故填who/that。

3．a　解析　考查冠词。Saturday sail在此处是泛指，且Saturday以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。

4．or　解析　考查连词。without为否定词，意为“无；没有”，故用并列连词or。

5．wealthy　解析　考查词性转换。空处与后面的strange并列作定语修饰名词brothers，应用形容词。

6．explaining　解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，空处应用非谓语动词；a letter与explain是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词作后置定语。

7．Immediately　解析　考查词性转换。此处应用副词作状语修饰动词attempts。

8．to return　解析　考查非谓语动词。attempt to do sth意为“企图去做某事；尝试去做某事”，为固定搭配。

9．is told　解析　考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处应为谓语动词，全文的基本时态为一般现在时，且空处与主语he是动宾关系，所以应用一般现在时的被动语态；主语为he，谓语应用单数，故填is told。

10．at　解析　考查介词。at the end of在……末尾，为固定搭配。
