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
