Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．B;3．D;4．A;5．A;6．D;7．B;8．D;9．C;10．B;
解析：

(1)	本題考查詞組辨析。A項意為“鎮(zhèn)壓；制止”；B項意為“看作”；C英意為“坐下”；D項意為“調低”。由語境可知“在中午，他把馬拴在樹上，然后坐下來吃東西”，只有C項具有“坐下”的意思，故選C。
(2)	由語境可知，這個窮人不讓富人把馬和他的拴在同一棵樹上，但是這個富人卻不聽窮的話。此處表轉折關系，故應填but．
(3)	由下句“the two horses were fighting”可知他們聽到了一聲可怕的聲音。四個項中只有noise意為“聲音”。
(4)	由They went up to them 及The rich man’s horse was killed可知，此應為形容詞，且表示“晚了”的意思。A項意為“晚了”；B項意為“慢的”；C項意為“困難的”；D項意為“快的”。故選A。
(5)	A項意為“賠償”；B項意為“尋找”；C項意為“等候”；D項意為“照顧”。由語境可知，這個富人是想讓這個窮人賠償他已死的馬。故選A。
(6)	別人問這個窮人問題，但是他并沒有回答。
(7)	A項意為“安靜地”；B項意為“生氣地”；C項意為“高興地”；D項意為“沉重地”。聯(lián)系上下文可知此時富人的狀態(tài)是“生氣在大聲喊”，故選B。
(8)	speak強調說話的能力，說某種語言。tell“告訴"。talk 指談話say指說的內容，帶賓語。句意為“他說的什么內容？”強調說話的內容，故選D。
(9)	此處具有“警告;告誡”的意思。四個選項中只有C具有此意，故選C。
(10)	get from意為“從…處得到…”故選B。
