Answer 1

【答案】

 1. D  本句的意思是“街道的兩旁排列著很多各種各樣的商店”，build的意思是“建造，修建”，design的意思是“設(shè)計(jì)”，intend意思是“打算”，line是“沿……排列”的意思。

2. B  varied是“變化多端”的意思，various為“各種各樣的”，sorted意為“分類的”，mixed-up意為“困惑的，迷惘的，不適應(yīng)社會(huì)的”。本句意為“各種各樣的商店”。

3. C  本句的意思是“除了各種各樣的商店銷售各種各樣的商品之外，有些商店還提供服務(wù)”，apart from意為“除此之外”，后必須接名詞或動(dòng)名詞，however是連詞“然而”的意思，in addition可單獨(dú)使用，意為“除此之外”，as well用在句末。

4. D  medical care意為“醫(yī)療護(hù)理”。food是“食物”，cosmetic是“化妝品”，service是“服務(wù)”，根據(jù)上題意思，service一詞放在這里最合適。

5. D  本句的意思是“在五十年代，情況發(fā)生了變化”，有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思。suddenly和abruptly都是“突然”的意思，contrarily指“相反地”，but是“但是”的意思,表轉(zhuǎn)折。

6. B  take place只有主動(dòng)語態(tài)，故可排除C，而begin to后應(yīng)接動(dòng)詞不定式，只有take place“發(fā)生”可用。

7. B  be available to sb.為固定搭配，意為“對某人來說可用的，可得到的”，本句意為“顧客可用的停車場地”，故選B。

8. D  本句意為“商人們開始對城市界限以外的開闊地感興趣”，out of表示“……的外面”而outside指“超過某一個(gè)界限，范圍等”。

9. A  本句的意思是“購物中心是從聚集一些小的店鋪開始的”，只有started as有此意。

10. B  本句意為“遠(yuǎn)離擁擠的市中心”, out of指“在……之外”，away from表示距離，“遠(yuǎn)離”，next to指“靠近，下一個(gè)”，near是“近”的意思。

11. A  本句意為“被……所吸引”，surprise意為“使……驚奇”，delight意為“使……喜悅”，enjoy意為“欣賞,喜愛”。

12. D  本句意為“顧客從市區(qū)被吸引到城市以外的商業(yè)中心”，只有downtown“市區(qū)”符合此意。

13. C  本句意為“這些購物中心越來越大的名氣反過來導(dǎo)致了更大，設(shè)備更好的商店的建成”。distinction聲望；fame卓越，好名聲；popularity名氣很大，知名度很高；liking喜愛，喜好。故選C。

14. B  根據(jù)上題解釋，in turn應(yīng)為“依次”的意思，引申為“反過來”。

15. C  這里convenience與providing組成短語“提供方便，便利”，符合上下文義。

本句意為“商業(yè)街被變成了帶有長椅、噴泉及戶外娛樂的風(fēng)景優(yōu)美的公園”。
