Answer 1

1. B根据下文他装上了假肢，可知应该是切掉了大部分右腿。

cut off表示"切掉"；take off表示"脱掉"；

put off表示"推迟，拖延"；set off表示"出发，动身"。

2. B also、too、either都表示"也"，但also位于肯定句句中；either用于否定句;too用于肯定句句尾。

3. D根据上下文的意思可判断他们是跑而不是走、飞或游泳，因此选D.

4. C表示"当……多大年纪的时候"常用when。while—般表示两个动作同时进行。

5. A根据实际情况来判断，应该是7个月之后，而天、小时和分钟所表示的时间太短。

6. D"一双鞋"要用a pair of ,应用介词of。

7. C reach后边不加介词；study在文中未涉及；start意思不恰当。

8. B not... but表示"不是……而是"，其他选项和not组合不能表达这个意思。

9. A本文谈的是癌症,其他各项均不合题意。

10. D人们可以做到任何他们想要做的事情。nothing表示否定，和原句意思不符合。
