答案与解析:
1.A
根据下一句及随后的内容,作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的,应当选择A.how。
2.C
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.A
这句话的意思是:作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是 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.B
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.D
根据后面的over and over again,应选 repeat
6.C
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.B
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。
8.A
根据后面主句的时态,此处只能用一般过去时。
9.C
a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式;a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词;只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。
10.D
living后必须接介词in,意为 居住 ;cultivating耕种;reclaiming开垦;只有exploring有探察的意思。
11.C
add to相当于increase,增加。其余选项后面都不接to。
12.A
later on为固定短语, 后来 。
13.D
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.D
which在此引导定语从句,修饰前面列出的动物。
15.D
因为钱是在动物园打工挣的,选successfully更能体现其含义。
16.D
finance my first trip意为 支付我的旅行费用 ;pay后应接介词for;其他选项的意思相差甚远。
17.B
此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。
18.D
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.C
appeal to为成语,意思是 吸引 。
20.B
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。
