Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】E

【4】D

【解析】

本文對(duì)巴黎標(biāo)志性建筑埃菲爾鐵塔進(jìn)行了介紹。在最開始時(shí)，埃菲爾鐵塔的建造就受到了藝術(shù)家的質(zhì)疑。

【1】句意：埃菲爾鐵塔每年吸引超過700萬(wàn)游客。

根據(jù)句意可知，埃菲爾鐵塔每年吸引超過700萬(wàn)游客，但句子主語(yǔ)是visitors“游客”，故空格處應(yīng)填入意為“吸引”動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)態(tài)，C選項(xiàng)attracted符合句意，故應(yīng)選C。

【2】句意：埃菲爾鐵塔設(shè)計(jì)的初衷是參加世界博覽會(huì)。

根據(jù)句意可知，埃菲爾鐵塔設(shè)計(jì)的初衷是參加世界博覽會(huì)，句子主語(yǔ)是The Eiffel Tower“埃菲爾鐵塔”，與謂語(yǔ)design“設(shè)計(jì)”之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，A選項(xiàng)designed符合句意，故應(yīng)選A。

【3】句意：然而，在它建好前，有幾位法國(guó)藝術(shù)家認(rèn)為在法國(guó)首都巴黎建造這樣一個(gè)奇怪的金屬塔并不合適。

根據(jù)句意可知，空格處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)形容詞來修飾tower，根據(jù)常識(shí)埃菲爾鐵塔是鋼結(jié)構(gòu)建筑，E選項(xiàng)metal符合句意，故應(yīng)選E。

【4】句意：他們認(rèn)為埃菲爾鐵塔與巴黎其他名勝古跡的傳統(tǒng)美不相襯。

根據(jù)句意可知，空格處應(yīng)填入一個(gè)形容詞來修飾beauty，而這個(gè)“美麗”指的是巴黎其他名勝古跡之美，備選單詞還剩下B選項(xiàng)equal和D選項(xiàng)traditional，根據(jù)單詞意思D選項(xiàng)更符合句意，故應(yīng)選D。
