Answer 1

【小题1】C

【小题2】B

【小题3】A

【小题4】D

【小题5】C

【小题6】C

【小题7】D

【小题8】B

【小题9】D

【小题10】C

解析:

【小题1】指前文句子中提及的 “a belief in fairies”, 和下文“they”一致。

【小题2】从半否定句子“Not all of these … are the friendly, people-loving…”，可知文中所提fairies非友善、受人爱戴之类型；frightened, 用于修饰人的自身感觉，此处不合适。

【小题3】从并列的形容词“pale”和动词 “change” 可知。

【小题4】从句中“change so much” 可知。

【小题5】It was heard that… 听说…

【小题6】固定搭配 replace…with …替代。

【小题7】呼应前文所述“many ways”。

【小题8】前文有“the fairies had come and stolen the baby away…” 。

【小题9】仙女用“Changeling” 把婴儿调包了。用这两种方法要把真正的孩子找回来。

【小题10】固定搭配，把Changeling放在火上。
