Answer 1

16. A解析:根据下文可知，当时广阔的天空 就是人们的美食，所以此处指人们不用“种 植”食物。32 空后的 how to plant crops in the ground也给出了提示。

17. B解析：根据空后他们取下一片天空来 吃可知，他们应该是在饿的时候会这样做， 故用 hungry。

18. C解析：根据下一句中的Other times it tasted like...可知，此处指有时天空尝起来像熟透的香蕉。

19. A解析:根据前两句描述的天空的味道 以及 27 空前的 delicious pieces of the sky 可知，天空是“美味的”。

20. D解析：由下文人们随意多取，把吃不完 的天空扔进垃圾箱可知，很多人没有“明智 地”利用天空。

21. B解析：根据下文天空对人们说的话可 知，当人们取下太多片天空吃不完时，天空 发怒了，故用angry。倒数第二段首句中的 Sudden y,the sky became angry 也给出了提示。

22. A解析：根据25空前的I don't want to see pieces of me in the garbage 可知，人们把吃不完的天空扔进垃圾箱。

23. B解析:空后的内容是天空讲的话，所以 此处指天空用巨大的声音对所有的人说， 故用voice。人们并没有看到天空的脸庞或体形。

24. A解析：根据上一段提到的人们把吃不 完的天空扔进垃圾箱可知，人们在“浪费” 天空赠予人类的礼物。

25. C解析:此时天空还没有离地面而去，只 是对人们加以警告，所以句意为:我不想再 看到我一片片地被扔在垃圾箱里，否则我 会把我的恩赐拿走。

26. D解析:很长一段时间，人们对自己取下 多少食物都很谨慎。根据第二段中的 When they took more 以及该空后的 took so many delicious pieces of the sky 可知答案。

27. C解析：Adami取了太多片天空以至于 “吃”不完了。根据下文他决定把吃不掉的 天空藏起来可推知答案。

28. B解析:根据上文可知，天空因人们把吃 不完的天空碎片扔掉而生气，并警告人们 不能再浪费。由此可知，此处指Adami知 道他不可以把这些吃不完的天空“扔掉”。

throw away意为“扔掉”。

29. B解析：Adami为了不让天空看到他的 浪费行为，应是把这些吃不完的天空碎片 藏在垃圾堆的“底下”。

30. C解析：第三段提到天空因发怒而变暗 了。由此可知，此处应用black ,指天上的 云变“黑”了。

31. D解析：句意：这次我要走了，这样你们 就再也不能浪费我了。

32. A解析：因为此前人们从来不用自己种 植食物，所以在天空离开后人们必须“学 习”如何种庄稼。

33. D解析:在天空离开后，人们必须学习如 何种k庄稼、如何“狩猎”，也就是说，人们 必须要自食其力。

34. B解析:此处指人们“看着”天空离去。

35. C解析:此处仍是强调人类自食其力，开 始变得勤劳。这里指人们自己种植庄稼和 做饭。
