Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;B;B;A;C;B;A;D
解析：

1.“for the first time”介詞短語(yǔ)做時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，“第一次”。 2.“人們不談?wù)搨�(gè)人問(wèn)題。” 3.從上下句來(lái)看，本空格缺少的是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞，故選C。 4. polite的反義詞。 5.插入語(yǔ)“打擾一下”。 6.“關(guān)于…問(wèn)題”用介詞“about”。 7.“這些問(wèn)題被認(rèn)為是不友好的。” 8.與前邊的意義相對(duì)應(yīng)的物主代詞。 9.該句提出了比較容易接受的“安全”的話題。 10.在外國(guó)的談話中一般盡量避免談?wù)搨�(gè)人的細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題。
