1.【答案】A 【解析】根据下一句及随后的内容,作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物),应当选择A. how。 2.【答案】C 【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是:别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。 3.【答案】A 【解析】这句话的意思是:作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。 4.【答案】B 【解析】but在此处连接另一个句子(it was the word “zoo”,“it was”被省略),表示转折,意为“而是”,Except, except for, but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”。 例如:We go there every day except Sunday. 除了星期天,我们每天都去那。 He answered all the questions except for the last one. 除了最后一个问题,其余的他都回答了。 For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators. |
