  答案与题解:

  1. B 根据上下文,这里应选择比较级,所以排除D,再根据句意,为“更为人所熟知”,因而better是正确答案。

  2. D 根据句意,词组搭配 at the top of ,表示在……顶部最为合适。Height 意为“高度“,summit 意为“最高点”,peak 意为“顶峰“,所以选 D。

  3. C 根据句意,从卧室的角度看去,from 最为恰当。

  4. A 固定搭配 be famous for 意为“以……而著名”,文中要表达的是伦敦塔以乌鸦而著名,因而 for 为正确答案。

  5. D 根据句意,David 是被提供了这样一个职位,所以 offered 最为恰当award 表示“授予”,applied 表示“应用” ,presented 表示“给予,呈现“,均不符合句意。

  6. C 根据上下文,很容易理解 David 是这么迷恋这种黑鸟,因而毫不犹豫地接受了这个职位,所以 hesitation 为正确答案。

  7. A be aware of 表示“意识到”,有这样一命警觉。其他三项均不符合句意。

  8. B 固定搭配 maintain a tradition ,保持一个传统,maintain 最为恰当。hold 表示“抓住”,survive 表示“存活,幸存”,last 表示“维持”。

  9. B 固定搭配 make sure,意为“确保”,在文中表达的是“确保这种状况不会发生“,因而选 B。

  10. A 根据句意,David 每天大约用四个小时来护理乌鸦,表达出对乌鸦的爱护之情,devote “献身于……,专用于……”最为恰当。spend 后需加动词 ing 形式。pass 表示“经过”, provide 表示“提供”,均不符合句意。

  11. D 这是一个定语从句,根据句意,David 已经爱上了它们,而他正居住在它们旁边(这样一个事实)是理想的,所以 fact 是正确答案。

  12. C keep an eye on 为固定搭配,意为“注意,关注”,所以选 C。

  13. C 根据句意,作者要表达的意思是起初,David 的妻子 Mo 并不感兴趣,因为只有词组 at first 表示“起初,开始时”符合句意。

  14. B be keen on 为固定搭配,表示“对……感兴趣,对……热衷”,interest 后面配介词 in ,fond后应配介词 of ,因此正确答案是 B。

  15. B 根据句意,作者表达的感情非常强烈,过去的那些都环绕在身边,所以 all 为最佳答案。
