【错因分析】本题容易错选B或C。因为常与 top 搭配是 at/on the top 在上部/在上面。此处是指礼物堆得满满地都到顶部了，所以，to the top 是最准确的。

例2 …… The plane shook heavily and my hairbrush, book, and whatever were ______ on the floor. I was bending over to gather them up when I saw an unfamiliar diary book ……

A. fallen B. kept C. spread D. laid

【答案】C

【剖析】 根据上下句可知，飞机颠簸，箱子里的东西散落一地。spread sth on……“把……铺开……”即 sth be spread on……

【错因分析】本题容易错选A。fall 是不及物动词，所以没被动语态。kept 和laid 符合语法，但不符合此处意思。

例 Of all things, dismiss the egotism (自大) from your conversation, and never think of entertaining people with your own personal concerns, or private affairs. Though they are interesting to you, they are impolite and uninteresting to everybody else. Besides that, one cannot keep one's own private affairs too secret. Whatever you think your own excellences may be, do not show them in company, nor take the trouble, as many people do, to give that to the conversation.

What is the author's opinion of private affairs?

A. One shouldn't keep his own private affairs secret.

B. One's private affairs can surely entertain others.

C. One can talk with other people about his interesting private affairs.

D. One should keep his private affairs as secret as possible.

【答案】D

【剖析】根据 one cannot keep one's own private affairs too secret. 得出答案。意思是：怎么保守自己的隐私都不过分。
