Answer 1

1.E

2.A

3.D

4.G

5.C

【解析】

1.選E。根據(jù)下文解釋的原因是, 不是因為大自然離城市遠, 而是因為人們無法在一天之內(nèi)趕個來回。結(jié)合幾個選項可推知前面的選項應(yīng)該是E項, 孩子們很少離開城市去看看自然界的美景。

2.2】選A。下句話的主語是he, 故在上一句話會出現(xiàn)把學(xué)校房子轉(zhuǎn)化成宿舍的那個人, 故選A項。

3.3】選D。前面一句話提到那間房子太小了, 接下來這個校長就會想辦法找個大點的地方, 故選D項。

4.4】選G。上一句提到來到這個地方需要出示一張卡片, 接下來應(yīng)該講這張卡片的作用, 即G項。

5.5】選C。上面提到來自全國不同地方的男男女女會在一起唱歌、跳舞、交談, 那么人們就可以了解不同地方的事情, 即C項。
