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(yīng)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?jiǎng)铀��?/P>

4．the smell of“……的味道”。

5．fall asleep，固定短語，意為“入睡，睡著”。

6．when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語。

7．a strong smell of smoke“強(qiáng)烈的煙的味道”，而A項(xiàng)dense指“（液體、蒸汽）濃密的”如dense fog“濃霧”，dense smoke“濃煙”。而B項(xiàng)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(dá)為“One of the curtains was burning”。burn動(dòng)詞“燃燒”，A、B選項(xiàng)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(dòng)詞，“匆忙，趕快”。

13．fill...with...“用……把……裝滿”，固定用法。

14．at the same time同時(shí)。

15．根據(jù)句意，應(yīng)選before，指Barbara來幫我之前先打119報(bào)警。

16．at top speed或at full speed習(xí)慣表達(dá)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(fā)”，break off“中斷，停止”。

19．Mange to do sth. 設(shè)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.
