Keys：

1.【陷阱】误选C，认为第一空前有 all 修饰，故用 means，而第二空前有 every 修饰，故用mean。

【分析】其实，means 是一个单复数同形的名词，并且永远带有尾 -s。换句话说，在表示“方式”、“方法”时，不存在mean这一形式 (mean 主要用作动词，表示“意思是”；也可用作名词，表示“中间”、“中庸”)。此题正确答案为 B，by all means 为习语，意为“一定”、“尽一切办法”。顺便说一句，means 用作主语时，其谓语的数需根据句意来确定。比较：

All possible means have been tried. 所有可能的办法都已经试过了。

Every possible means has been tried. 每种可能的办法都已经试过了。

若句意不能明确地表明主语的单复数，其谓语则用单数或复数均可。如：

Is [Are] there any other means of getting more money?

还有其他什么办法可弄到更多钱吗?

2. to get 3. tried every means to
