参考答案&解析:
1、D. certain.
[注释]I am sure that +从句。He is sure to come. = He is certain to come.但在it作形式主语, that引导主语从句时, 主句中表语只能用certain, 不能用sure.
2、A. opportunities.
[注释]opportunity常指“ (难得的应抓住的) 机会”, 既可作可数名词, 也可以作不可数名词用, 如:I had few opportunities of meeting interesting people there. They had not much opportunity for hearing good music in the remote area.
3、B. risk.
[注释]run a risk (in) 冒险:You are running a big risk in trusting him.
本题译文:俱乐部成员不愿冒险把这个组织委托给一个不可靠的人管理。
4、C. cut short.
[注释]cut short (=interrupt) 打断, 中断
5、A. scope.
[注释]本题中scope (=opportunity; outlet) 施展机会, 发展余地, 是不可数名词, 如:Give someone scope to show his ability. Range意指“变动范围; 视听范围; 理解范围”, 如:the range of prices (价格变动范围).
