　　答案:B

　　解析:句意:——2017年北京的第一场雪是在十一月下的。——是的,这场雪让我们有点吃惊。第一句话用了拟人的手法,特指“2017年的北京”,故第一个空填the;surprise在这里是抽象名词具体化,指“一件令人惊讶的事”,故第二个空填a。

　　3.The chair looks rather hard,but in fact it is very comfortable to 　. 

　　A.sit B.sit on

　　C.be sat D.be sat on

　　答案:B

　　解析:在“主语+be+adj.+动词不定式”的句型中,如果动词不定式与主语有逻辑上的动宾关系,又和句中另一名词或代词构成主谓关系,那么这时常用动词不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。适合这种结构的形容词比较多,如easy,hard,difficult,interesting,amusing,cheap,comfortable,dangerous,important,pleasant,safe,strange等。该句型中还要注意若动词为不及物动词时需加介词。
