答案:D;B;D;C;A;C;A;B;B;D;A;C;D;A;B;C;B;D;A;C
解析:

1、time“時間”;holiday“假期”;sleep“睡眠”;work“工作”。根據(jù)下文意思應(yīng)該選work。

2、boring“乏味的”與上文的“He enjoyed his work and traveling”相反,不能選;dangerous和pleasant下文都沒有跡象表明;由于“Mr. Cousins got sick”,故應(yīng)選tiring“令人疲倦的”。

3、top“頂部,頂峰”;degree“程度”;problem“問題”;limit“極限”。

4、由于下文是“The material between his bones…”故應(yīng)選擇inside。

5、weak“脆弱的”;ill“生病的”,一般指一個生命體,而不是它的一部分。

6、由于下文有“Every move”,故只有stand最符合文意。

7、make a move是固定搭配。

8、look over“檢查”;get over“克服”;turn over“使……翻轉(zhuǎn),推翻”;think over“考慮”。

9、根據(jù)文章前后的意思,這里選擇“放棄希望”最為合適。

10、由于下文出現(xiàn)了laughter,故這里應(yīng)選unhappy“不高興的”。

11、instead意為“代替,更換”,即“Instead of medicine”。

12、還是因為下文出現(xiàn)了laughter一詞,此處要選laughter。

13、rescue為及物動詞,沒必要跟介詞on;operate on意為“給……做手術(shù)”,不合題意。

14、從前邊的“ten minutes”及后面的“two hours of pain-free sleep at night”,可以判斷應(yīng)該是一個與之對應(yīng)的時間單位,即day (during the day “白天的時候”)。

15、deciding在這里是現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語,意為“確定”,因為上文有“The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure Mr. cousins-problem…”。

16、continue意為“繼續(xù)”。

17、whenever相當(dāng)于at the moment when。

18、enough修飾的是well(健康的),…enough to do…是固定句型。

19、由于前邊說到他在賓館里已樂了許多天,所以這里不會再是rest和pleasure,故只有exercise合適。

20、根據(jù)全文意思,這里肯定是health。
