Answer 1

答案：A;C;A;B;C;B;D;A;C;B;C;B;C;D;C;C;B;A;C;C
解析：

1．take one's leave固定用法，意為“告辭，辭別”。

2．此空應填形容詞，thankful“感激的，欣慰的”，用法為be thankful to...而terrible“可怕的，極壞的”，詞義不符。

3．as連詞“如，像”，又如：Leave it as it is．保持原樣，不要動它。

4．the smell of“……的味道”。

5．fall asleep，固定短語，意為“入睡，睡著”。

6．when引導時間狀語。

7．a strong smell of smoke“強烈的煙的味道”，而A項dense指“（液體、蒸汽）濃密的”如dense fog“濃霧”，dense smoke“濃煙”。而B項heavy指“（雨／雪）大的”，heavy rain“大雨”heavy snow“大雪”。

8．through dense clouds of smoke“穿過濃煙”。“穿過，透過”用介詞through。又如：The sun-shine came into the room through the windows．陽光透過窗戶照到房間里。而across表示“橫過”如walk across the street/bridge“過街／橋”。

9．be on fire“著火”，固定用法，此句也可表達為“One of the curtains was burning”。burn動詞“燃燒”，A、B選項不能用介詞。

10．without delay“毫不遲疑，立刻”。

11．instead“代替，取代”，副詞。

12．hurry動詞，“匆忙，趕快”。

13．fill...with...“用……把……裝滿”，固定用法。

14．at the same time同時。

15．根據句意，應選before，指Barbara來幫我之前先打119報警。

16．at top speed或at full speed習慣表達法，“以全速／最快速度”。

17．prevent...from doing sth. 阻止……做某事。

18．put out“撲滅”，put off“延期”，breakout “爆發”，break off“中斷，停止”。

19．Mange to do sth. 設法得以……，fail to do“沒做成”，try to do“試著／盡力去做”，而succeed后接in doing sth.“成功做某事”。

20．have little difficulty in doing sth.
