Answer 1

16―20 DCDAB         21―25 ABABC  26―30 BAACA      31―35 ADCAA

重點解析：

16. 根據語境可知從句與主句之間是因果關系，故選D項。for引導原因狀語從句通常不放在句首。

17. 從前一句old一詞以及下文的overcrowded可知narrow為最佳選項。

18. 因上文有overcrowded，下文有overflowed into the road, 故可知本題答案應為D項。

20. causing danger to sb. 意為“對某人造成危險”，其余三項與句意不符。

21. 根據本句句意可知，危險來自過往的車輛，所以正確答案為A項。

22. 從本句結構可知此處需要一個關系代詞來引導非限制性定語從句，且先行詞指物，故B項正確。

23. 司機們不停地按喇叭，“說服”人們讓路。

24. in the / one’s way 是“擋路”的意思；get out of one’s way是“讓開路” 的意思。

25. 由于此空在第二段的首句(起著主題句的作用)，而且第二段描述的是豐富多彩的市井畫卷，所以應選C項。

26. 根據語境，農民拿到市場上的貨物應當是出售的，因此應選B項。

27.  A、C都可用于“v. + one’s way”結構，但結合語境，街上非常擁擠，所以選A項最為恰當。

28. at the top of one’s voice意為“大聲地(叫賣) ”，且符合語境，故選A項。

29. A、D兩項迷惑性很強。但apples, oranges and grapes不是crops，也非productions，故排除。harvest此處是“收獲物”之意，符合語境。

30. 解題的關鍵是it所指代的內容。it指代street，因此可以考慮在A、B中選定一個。但根據語境，人們在街上穿行一定是順著街道從一端向另一端走，所以A項為最佳答案。

31. while的意思是“然而，可是”,表示比較、對照。

32. 由于本句中有because they were lost, 可推斷孩子的哭是因為迷路而害怕，因此D項為正確答案。

33. 由下文only the rubbish... 可知 C為正確答案。注意collect此處意為“聚集”。

34. 根據語境，由于行人散去，街上空無一人，所以本題最佳答案應為Ａ項。

35. 根據語境，此空動詞應為“仍然在……”之意，故選A項。
