Answer 1

答案：A;D;B;B;C;D;B;A;C;B;D;B;B;D;A;B;C;A;A;A
解析：

1．记下观察到的东西，过去分词noticed作定语，修饰things一词。 2．前面提到的观察、记录等都属于研究方法。 3．常用“人”作spend的主语。 4．下蛋用lay这个动词。 5．后面句子的含义表明记录的内容，所以选C最适当，即make a record。 6．观察生活习性较全面。 7．此处study意为“研究”。 8．根据下文中make sound可推得答案。 9．lungs和发声有一定的关系。 10．by doing sth. 表示通过……方式做……。 11．上文主要谈到了Aristotle观察鱼。 12．毫无疑问有关鱼的习性的知识可以帮助渔民多捕鱼。 13．catch n. 意为“捕获量”。 14．要了解事物，仔细观察是至关重要的。 15．closer是比较级形式，说明观察得仔细对生物的了解就更多。 16．此处that和it was构成强调句型，即it is(was)…that…。 17．毫无疑问是通过他自己收集的资料写成书的。 18．found vt. 有“创立；创办”等含义。 19．书中写的是他的发现，不是他的感觉或报告，故排除其他选项。 20．因后面的but表示转折，故选lost。
