Answer 1

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

(1) 根据本句意义和实际生活经验，应选“拥有了水就意味着控制了旱地。” (2) “像沙漠之类的旱地。” (3) “控制沙漠是可能的，即使并不拥有大量的肥沃的田地”。 (4) 这是一个双重否定的句子，说明争夺水的gun fights经常发生，即“不是不常见的”。not unlawful不是不合法的；not unacceptable不是不可接受的；not unpopular不是不流行的，皆与文义不相符合。 (5) “制定法律来保护……” (6) 本句中的时间状语是“在早期的美国西部”，用法律保护“来定居的人”用水的权利。 (7) 这是由as引导的非限制性定语从句，位于句首，“众所周知，……”。 (8) “足够的水供每个人随心所欲地使用”。plentiful富裕的，丰富的。多的。 (9) water后跟一定语从句，“确定某一特定时期的用水量”。 (10) 本题的主语是24小题的短语，“确定某一特定时期的用水量需要仔细计划一下”。request请求，要求。require需要，后接动名词时表示“主语需要被做。” (11) 由上句接下来，“为的是更加有效地利用水”。 (12) “根据对水的预报来改变……”。 (13) “正确（合理）的供水预报是根据……”。 (14) 由下文的than from the below可知用above，上、下相对。 (15) 本空用不及物动词，“增加”。 (16) “山顶上的积雪”。tip“稍、末、端、尖端”。与top形似而意不同。 (17) 科学家们研究的是“利用”山顶积雪的办法。 (18) 把“收集到的数据”从repeater station传到base station。 (19) 在base station的人就可以通过“按”电钮得到数据。touch触，碰knock敲；turn旋转。 (20) 时间状语“在不久的将来”，谓语“就将会”，将来时态。
