Answer 1

答案：D;D;B;A;C;B;B;A;D;D;B;A;D;C;C;A;D;A;D;C
提示：

1.       从下文看湖面冬天覆盖了一层厚厚的冰。所以应该是结冰了。 2.       前句和后句是因果关系，用so that表示所以的意思。Because因果颠倒，at least至少，for example例如。 3.       through表示穿过三维空间，如山洞，人群等；walk across走过；beside在…旁边；cross是动词，不能和walk 连用。 4.       胆敢从河面上骑车过去的人只能用勇敢来形容。其他强壮，陌生，贫穷都不合适。 5.       冬天在冰面上开车可以用铁练缠在车轮上防滑，选择wheels。 6.       从下文看他看到冰就想到冰面上开派对的主意，应用idea。A blow一击，an opportunity一个机会，good conditions好条件。 7.       文章最后说到家具全部随水冲走，所以应该是把家具搬到冰上。 8.       have sth done，使某物怎样。这一空应该用过去分词。Hang有两个过去分词，作“悬挂”讲时用hung，作“上吊，绞刑”讲时用hanged。所以选择A。 9.       A，信；B，电报；C，消息；D，邀请，请柬。应该是送请柬给朋友，选择D。 10.   从地面到河里是go down on to 11.   参加派对时很显然应该是穿着漂亮的衣服，选择D。 12.   这个派对是在冰面上举行的，很明显，选择A。 13.   河边可能会有的东西，A，工厂；B，农田；C，花园；D，景色，而且是令人开心的，应该是D。 14.   可能在派对上出现的，和food相对的，肯定是drink 15.   until一词决定了前面应该用go on，表示一直开到深夜。若用dismiss, end应该用not…until句型。Begin的意思压根不对。 16.   A，祝贺；B，表扬；C，宣布；D，依靠。选择A 17.   已经到了next morning,应该是起床，醒来。选择wake up醒来。 18.   这是一个主语从句，缺少see的宾语，用what来代替所看到的东西。 19.   break up表示冰化冻，从下文看，家具都被冲走了，所以河面应该是化冻了。 20.   carry sth to把某物带到，显然河流只有可能将家具冲到海里。
