Answer 1

1. B根據下文他裝上了假肢，可知應該是切掉了大部分右腿。

cut off表示"切掉"；take off表示"脫掉"；

put off表示"推遲，拖延"；set off表示"出發，動身"。

2. B also、too、either都表示"也"，但also位于肯定句句中；either用于否定句;too用于肯定句句尾。

3. D根據上下文的意思可判斷他們是跑而不是走、飛或游泳，因此選D.

4. C表示"當……多大年紀的時候"常用when。while—般表示兩個動作同時進行。

5. A根據實際情況來判斷，應該是7個月之后，而天、小時和分鐘所表示的時間太短。

6. D"一雙鞋"要用a pair of ,應用介詞of。

7. C reach后邊不加介詞；study在文中未涉及；start意思不恰當。

8. B not... but表示"不是……而是"，其他選項和not組合不能表達這個意思。

9. A本文談的是癌癥,其他各項均不合題意。

10. D人們可以做到任何他們想要做的事情。nothing表示否定，和原句意思不符合。
