答案及解析
1. C 從他緊急著陸看,所遇到的風暴一定較為“猛烈”。
2. D be obliged to 意為“被迫”。因是私下駕駛,又是自己的飛機,故不會有人“命令”、“禁止“或“允許”他著陸。
3. A 飛機狀況良好,但他的腿和肩受了傷。前后兩句形成了對比。
4. D 群山“環(huán)抱”。A(覆蓋)、B(包裹)不合邏輯,C(容納)表意不清。
5. B 從他們把他帶到村里精心治療來看,他們雖覺好奇(畢竟是來自不同國度的人),但并不“害怕”。be not tired of“不厭倦”和be not sure of “不確信”不合文意。D既不合文意,也不合詞的搭配。
6. A B、C不能概全,具有片面性,D表意不清。
7. C 這個地方的環(huán)境和人是如此的好,所以他并“不急于”離開。in no hurry的意思是“不著急”。
8. B 本句意思為“他學到了他們的一些語言,也教他們一些自己的語言”。
9. D 因為礦藏很“豐富”,他才決定回國組建一個公司來開采。C與習慣搭配不符。
10. B it is not long before,“時間不長”是一常見句型。
11. B gave away“散發(fā),分發(fā)”,got away“離開,出發(fā)”,put away“收好,放好,儲存”,pass away“死”。根據(jù)語境不難排除A、C、D三項。
12. C 現(xiàn)在土地不可能再種莊稼,說明土地遭到了“破壞”。
