1.【答案】A
【解析】在本题中,A项ruined意为”毁坏”;B项damaged意为”损坏”;C项destroyed意为”摧毁”;D项harmed意为”损害,伤害”。这四个词意思接近,但用法不同。首先排除D项,因为harm的宾语往往是人或人的”感情、名誉、健康、关系”等。而句中的主语是manuscripts (手稿),所以不合适。其余三项中只有A项最合适,为本题的正确答案。
2.【答案】C
【解析】本题也是近义词辨析,四个选项动词都有”扩大”的意思,但要跟后面的宾语operation搭配,只有C项expand适合。所以C为本题正确答案。
3.【答案】B
【解析】A项:”攻击,非难”;B项:”爆裂,突然发作,突然出现”;C项:”劈裂,裂缝,分裂,裂片”;D项:”一阵(风),爆炸,冲击波,突然的毁灭性的影响”。
4.【答案】C
【解析】A项:”吞下,耗尽(up),忍受,取消”;B项:”配置,处理,使倾向于”;C项:”消费”;D项:”抽完,耗尽,用完,竭尽;使筋疲力尽”。
5.【答案】C
【解析】”lend somebody.a hand”意为”给予帮助,助一臂之力”。C为正确答案。
