2.【答案】c 【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是首先。此句意思是:别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。
3.【答案】a 【解析】这句话的意思是:作者在呀呀学语之时,最早清楚的发音是zoo,而不是妈妈,爸爸,因此,应选clarity清晰。填入其他选项emotion ,sentiment,affection不合逻辑。
4.【答案】b【解析】but在此处连接另一个句子,表示转折,意为而是,except, except for, but for的用法接近,表示除了。
5.【答案】d【解析】根据后面的over and over again,应选repeat
6.【答案】c 【解析】小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选voice。a shrill voice与scream的意思接近。volume;noise;pitch均不合要求。
7.【答案】b 【解析】shut sb .up是指让某人住口,为了让孩子停止尖叫,只好带他去动物园。

a great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.

12.【答案】a 【解析】later on为固定短语,后来。
13.【答案】d 【解析】attendant仆人;keeper可理解为饲养员,但是a student keeper容易被误解为收留学生的人aide有助手之义。作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当助手。
14.【答案】d 【解析】which在此引导定语从句,修饰前面列出的动物。
15.【答案】d 【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的,选successfully更能体现其含义。
16.【答案】d 17.【答案】b
18.【答案】d 【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句,应与主句意思相对立。选项中,sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立,但sorrows的分量太重。
19.【答案】c 【解析】appeal to为成语,意思是吸引。
20.【答案】b 【解析】excursion短途旅行;journey长距离,具体的旅途;travel旅行,旅游,海外旅行;trip旅行,远足。
