参考答案&解析:
1、B 本题考查考生理解能力。在夏天,公寓里没有空调,所以应该很热。故答案为hot。
2、D crack指“裂缝”, blank指“空白”, break指“破裂,休息”, opening指“空缺,口子”。这里指通过两个人头之间的空隙来看电影,应该用opening。
3、D 这里考查词汇和理解。原文表示前面人头位置一变,自己就要改变角度看电影。A指“方面”,B指“视野”,C指“空间”。因此,应该选择D. angle。
4、C 联系上题,“男的侧身过去与女的说话”与“女的侧身吻男的”两者之间应该是选择关系,所以答案为or。
5、C 本题是对上文中男女两人的所作所为的描写,作者不明白为什么美国人那么喜欢在公开场合展示情人间的亲密。只有C指两个人之间的亲密。
6、D 这里不是状语从句,而是定语从句,表示“正如接着自己所看到的一样”,具有此功能和意义的是as。
7、B 从时间关系上来看,作者是看了一个小时后才决定放弃电影的,所以答案为after。
8、A 本题考查固定搭配concentrate on,表明作者放弃看电影,而开始专心吃爆米花。B chew on指思考某事情。
9、C It tasted pretty good与上文的I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn之间应该是转折关系,所以答案为though。
