Answer 1

36. A 根據(jù)句意，這里需要表示讓步的連詞。

37. C 根據(jù)上下文，該句意思是道路護(hù)養(yǎng)得很好。既然講護(hù)得好，那前提條件應(yīng)該是原來(lái)不錯(cuò)，所以選smooth意為“平坦的”。

38. B以Although引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句談的都是公路好的、有利的方面。那么道路上彎道少是有利的方面。彎道是可數(shù)名詞，所以選few。

39. D此題考查詞意義的區(qū)別。sections意為“選擇”;separations意為“分離，隔開(kāi)”;divisions意為把整體“分，分割”;sections指事物的“段；部分”鐵路的“段”，所以應(yīng)選sections。句意為“彎道少，直線路段多” 。

40. C 該題應(yīng)考慮到整句的意思。該句的狀語(yǔ)從句談的是公路好的、有利的方面。但后面的語(yǔ)氣一轉(zhuǎn)，意思就變了。所以選enjoyable。

41. D是固定搭配，pass by意為“經(jīng)過(guò)”，符合該句的意思。pass to意為“轉(zhuǎn)到”；pass into意為“變成”；pass over意為“忽略”。

42. B 該句的意思是“這些公路一般都連接大城市中心”。Connect正是“連接，相連”的意思。而 lead 必須與to連用，才能表達(dá)這個(gè)意思。

43. D 這里的意思是“車(chē)輛多，交通擁擠”。heavy traffic是交通擁擠的意思。

44. A  空格所在位置是個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，表示的是時(shí)間，所以選關(guān)系副詞when。

45. C 從語(yǔ)法角度看，這里應(yīng)填副詞�？崭窈蟮年P(guān)聯(lián)詞是always，意思是“總是”。此句意思是“如果你不著急，幾乎總能有另一條路可走”。almost意思是“幾乎，差不多”，符合該句的意思。

46. B 從語(yǔ)法角度看，這里應(yīng)填連詞，引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句，意思是“如果你不著急�！彼�以應(yīng)選if。

47. A 空格后是形容詞new，該空格處應(yīng)填副詞。后面句子中的older是比較級(jí)，那么前面的形容詞new也應(yīng)有比較的意思。所以選relatively。

48. B 解釋同上。

49. D 該句的意思是“這些道路，有些是平坦的雙車(chē)道，有些則不平坦，蜿蜒經(jīng)過(guò)田野�！�

50. C 解釋同上。

51. B 該句意思是“這些非主干道路可以爬上陡峭的斜坡，沿著懸崖延伸，或又轉(zhuǎn)下可怕的山坡�！睆纳舷挛目�，爬上陡峭的斜坡必然沿著懸崖延伸，而不沿著大道或小路。

52. A lying意思是“坐落” lying 是lie的分詞和動(dòng)名詞形式。

53. D從語(yǔ)法角度看，這里是個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，關(guān)系副詞where修飾先行詞places。

54. C have a chance是固定詞組，表示“有機(jī)會(huì)”。

55. A. 此句的意思是“有機(jī)會(huì)欣賞到人間清新、潔凈的景色”。view意為“景色”
