Answer 1

答案：A;C;C;D;B;A;C;B;B;A;B;D;A;C;B;D;A;C;D;B
提示：

1．  显然结婚礼服应该是在结婚之前送到。所以应选before. 2．  Wear意为穿上，dress作为穿的意思时后面应接人，try it on意为试穿，have it on 没有穿的意思。所以答案应选C. 3．  Frightened的意思是使某人恐惧，bring的意思是带给，surprise的意思是使某人受到惊吓，excite的意思是使某人激动。从上下文的意思来看，应选答案C。 4．  从下文的baggy一词来看，礼服应该特别大。fairly的意思是相当，B选项应为a bit，没有of，too much 的意思是太多，much too才是太，修饰形容词。 5．  衣服既然很大，那么领口也一样是不好的。ACD的意思都是表示好，只有B是形容不好的。所以应选B。 6．  这句话是祈使句，应用动词原形。排除B。fetch意为去拿来，return意为还给，不需要加back。Take sth back=return。所以答案应选A。 7．  Take sth up意为拿起，提起；take sth away意为外卖，带走；take sth off 意为脱下；take sth down意为将某物从高处取下。本句的意思应为把礼服脱下送去修改，所以应选C。 8．  这一题很明显，妈妈在家里，所以应该跑回家中向妈妈求助。A选项意为慢跑，以她当时的心情看是不可能的。所以应该选B， 9．  Unbelievable意为难以置信的，unlucky意为糟糕，运气差；uncommon和unusual都是不同寻常的意思。所以应选B。 10．              Bring sb in 有请某人当顾问的意思；take sb away意为除掉某人；absorb意为吸引某人；drop in有顺路拜访某人的意思，但没有drop sb in，所以答案应为A，意思是Peters夫人被请来了，开始工作。 11．              句子缺少的是主语，意思应该是，她能看到什么地方出了问题。应选B。 12．              Take in 的意思是将衣服改瘦，应该在前面收掉很多布料。四个选项中只有D是材料的意思。 13．              将这么大的衣服改小是一件很繁重的工作，排除CD，而work不可数，所以选择A。 14．              因为衣服很大，所以改衣服的过程几乎就是重新制作的过程。Repair意为修理，measure意为测量，所以应选C，制作。 15．              选C，fit sb意为形状大小恰恰适合某人，特指服饰若想选择A，使某人很漂亮，则应用make her beautiful。Be fit for指某物或某人适合，适宜。Turn意为转变。 16．              本句的意思应是门铃响起时她们在喝茶。而while后应接进行时，所以应选D。 17．              门铃响电话铃响某人去应答都应该用answer。所以选A。 18．              从上下文看这位女士是拿错礼服来换礼服的，应是带着焦虑的心情，worrying的意思是使人焦虑的，应选C。 19．              Slowly慢慢的，happily快乐的，cruelly残酷的，breathlessly气喘吁吁的。选择D。 20．              Hold up应用某物为范例；hold out拿出某物；hold back退缩；hold off延迟。应选B。
