5、He kept in constant contact with his family while he was in Australia
A.gradual
B.regular
C.direst
D.occasional
答案為:C
本題解析:C? constant的意思是“經常的、不間斷的”。原句的意思是:他在澳大利亞時和家人一直都保持聯系。regular的原意是“有規律的、有規則的”。keep in regular contact就是隔段時問就聯系一次這種有規律的方式,也就是沒有中斷聯系。occasional是間或、偶爾的意思,如果說keep in occasional contact,那么和原句的意思就有出入了
6、On the table was a vase filled with artificial flowers
A.wild
B.fresh
C.lovely
D.false
答案為:B
本題解析:B? artificial意為“人造的,即不是真的”,如:artificial leather人造革,artificial rainfall人造雨。false的意思是“虛假的、不是真的”,故在這里可以替代artificial

A.typical
B.complete
C.clean
D.clear
答案為:D
本題解析:D? pure意為“純凈的”,如:pure gold純金,pure wool純羊毛。Pure water即純凈水,故可用clean來替代。clear是“清楚、清澈”的意思,并非是“清潔的”。
8、“What do you mean by that”Paul asked sharply
A.critically
B.helplessy
C.politely
D.quickly
答案為:D
本題解析:D? sharp這個詞用于不同的語境中有不同的意義,如:sharp knife鋒利的刀、sharp angle銳角、sharp criticism尖銳的批評、sharp eye敏銳的眼光、be sharp at figures善于計算、be sharp with sb.對某人嚴厲等。在該句中,由sharp衍生的副詞sharply用于修飾動詞asked,問題本身What do mean by that?的語氣咄咄逼人,所以應用critically來替代。critically在這里同樣具有“嚴厲地、尖銳地”意思
9、She only needs a minute amount of money
A.certain
B.fair
C.full
D.small
