Answer 1

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

1．C　提示：全文的大意是：我本来认为在和表兄Ed的比赛中，我会轻而易举地战胜他，结果没有想到我会赢得那么艰难，以至于到最后我们累倒在地上。这场比赛是令人惊讶的，令人疲劳的。 　　2．D　提示：we play是个宾语从句，实际上是we should play。这是一个含有虚拟语气的句子。其中省略了should。四个动词中只有suggest才有这种用法。 　　3．C　提示：估计我在这场比赛中很容易获胜，因为Ed是他家人中体质最差的一个，而且很胖、肚子很大。 　　4．A　提示：进行羽毛球比赛是Ed提出的进行体育锻炼的想法。 　　5．D　提示：“lifting a fork to his mouth”在这里比喻做事情比较容易，不要作很大的努力。effort-making：作出努力的。 　　6．B　提示：as long as…：（1）只要……（2）就……，在此句中as long as…为第二个意思。as long as I can remember就我所记得的。 　　7．A　提示：the least physically fit member in the family，和proud of himself通过and构成并列关系，因此只有and后面跟上strangely整个句子的意思才符合逻辑。 　　8．D　提示：Ed的肚子像个大球，家里人常以此开玩笑，joke是开玩笑的意思。 　　9．B　提示：尽管被开玩笑，但是他还是拒绝买一件大一点的T恤衫，和上文中提到的T恤衫形成比较，所以用比较级larger。 　　10．C 　　11．A　提示：以前Ed的肚子像个大球，眼前的Ed你几乎看不出他有很大的肚子，故选A。 　　12．D　提示：我惊讶得说不出话来，说明惊讶的程度。 　　13．B 　　14．C　提示：我预计9比1领先，结果Ed却以9比7领先于我。instead在句中表示转折，意思是“相反，然而”。 　　15．A　提示：leading有领先的意思。其他的选项不合句意。 　　16．C　提示：比赛已经开始，而且继续进行激烈的交锋。 　　17．B　提示：当比分上升到16的时候，我确实感觉到体力难支。所以发出“When the score was 16 up，I was having serious doubts about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone scoring that many points”的感叹。 　　18．A　提示：score在这作动词用，有“得分”的意思。 　　19．D　提示：too…to…结构。意思是：太……而不……，这场比赛过后，我们俩都累得不能动了。所以这道题答案为D。 　　20．B　提示：我们俩都赢了，我赢得了比赛，Ed赢得了我的尊敬。
