Answer 1

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

(1) 根據(jù)上文意思，開始，出版并不認(rèn)為這本書會(huì)成功。

(2) 句中的意思是“她并沒有期望靠這本書掙很多的錢。

(3) 這里表示“第一批出版的5,000冊(cè)”。

(4) 文中的主人公是美國(guó)人，因此，書應(yīng)該在美國(guó)發(fā)行。

(5) 根據(jù)空后的“that”可知，此處應(yīng)用比較級(jí)。

(6) 本句意思是：《湯姆叔叔的小屋》一書的銷量比除了《圣經(jīng)》以外的任何書都高。因此，A項(xiàng)正確。

(7) from表示“出自……地方”。

(8) remain和keep都有“處于……狀態(tài)”的意思，但remain和過去有聯(lián)系，“從過去到現(xiàn)在一直……”;keep和過去沒有聯(lián)系。根據(jù)句中的for 80 years, B項(xiàng)正確。

(9) universally副詞，“普遍地”。A、C、D項(xiàng)與本文意思不符。因此，B項(xiàng)正確。

(10) 根據(jù)后面句子的意思，這里應(yīng)用轉(zhuǎn)折詞，表示前后意思的轉(zhuǎn)折，故D項(xiàng)正確。

(11) 根據(jù)上文意思，那些奴隸制度的捍衛(wèi)者是反對(duì)這本書的，故D項(xiàng)正確。

(12)against表示“反對(duì)”，主人公的態(tài)度是反對(duì)奴隸制度。

(13) realize表示“意識(shí)到，認(rèn)識(shí)到”，其他幾項(xiàng)的意思不符。

(14) 承上啟下，表示因果關(guān)系。

(15) describe表示“描寫，描述”,explain表示“解釋”，說明事實(shí)真相就用describe。因此，A項(xiàng)正確。

(16) 根據(jù)句的意思，Ohio是一個(gè)沒有實(shí)行奴隸制度的地方。

(17) in action固定搭配，意為“在行動(dòng)，在進(jìn)行，在實(shí)行”,A、B、D項(xiàng)意思與本文不符。故C正確。

(18) 根據(jù)上文“But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they were sold out in two days”,A、B項(xiàng)已淘汰，C項(xiàng)意思不符，D項(xiàng)正確。

(19) 根據(jù)前一句的意思，這本書促進(jìn)了反奴隸制度動(dòng)動(dòng)的發(fā)展，所以B項(xiàng)正確。

(20) 根據(jù)歷史事實(shí)判斷。這本書只是起了一定的推動(dòng)作用，并不是引起美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的導(dǎo)火線。因此，A項(xiàng)正確。
