　　答案解析:

　　1.答案:distracts myself from fulfilling my assignment

　　详解:

　　考查高频动词短语:使不能专心意即使分心，用distract sb.from sth./doing结构。

　　考查固定短语:完成任务可用finish assignment,也可用fulfill assignment表示，后者为四级常考词组。因为跟在介词from后面，所以把动词变为动名词fulfilling或finishing。任务还可以表达为task。

　　2.答案:prevent this at all costs

　　详解:

　　考查预防的表达:prevent或guard against,用在must之后，不必变换形式。

　　考查高频短语:不惜一切代价的表达是at all costs或at all expenses。

　　3.答案:adapt to its changeable weather

　　详解:

　　考查高频动词短语:adapt to 意思是适合，适应。多变的译作changeable。

　　4.答案:who has engaged in international trade

　　详解:

　　考查定语从句:待译部分修饰businessman,应由who引导定语从句。

　　考查时态:由for nearly twenty years一词提示应用现在完成时。

　　考查固定表达:从事译为engaged in,为四级常考词汇;国际贸易的表达是international trade,也可以用foreign trade。
