(答案→)1-5BCDAD 6-10CCABC 11-15BCCCC 16-20BCADB 解析：本文是描述一个小偷要他在陪审团的朋友为他解脱罪责的故事。1. B。根据上文“偷钱被警察抓住了”可判断是“审判”就要开始了。2. C。根据前面的“偷钱”和“审判”得出答案，他认为“肯定”会被判入狱好长时间。3. D。根据下文得出答案“他‘发现’他的朋友吉姆是陪审团的成员之一”。4. A。因为他是犯人，所以是“秘密地”见他朋友。5. D。根据上文，想找吉姆，其目的是希望不被“治罪”。6. C。be grateful to sb(对某人感激)是固定用法。7. C。表示希望吉姆“说服”其他陪审团的成员。8. A。add 表示“增加、补充”，add up表示“把几个数加起来”，increase在此处不适合。9. B。根据上文，找吉姆说服其他成员为他解脱罪责，是希望他们对他有些“怜悯”。10. C。根据下文，“因为是老朋友”得出答案吉姆“一定会”为他尽力。11. B。根据上下文可知是表示转折关系。12. C。因为已为事实，只能是尽力，所以吉姆说“不能保证使你非常‘满意’”。13. C。on term with sb.意为“和某人相处”是固定短语。14. C。因为他朋友吉姆在陪审团，他又愿意为他尽力，所以他感到很“高兴”。15. C。因为审判后有一段时间没“机会”见到吉姆了。16. B。根据上下文推断是转折关系，其余选项不符句子的逻辑关系。17. C。从后文“对他所做的”而表示“感谢”。18. A。根据上下文可知句意是“像我所想的那样，那些人很难说服”。19. D。根据后面的“managed”一词可判断答案。20. B。表示通过某种“手段”用介词by。
