答案解析

SectionIUseofEnglish

1A.BesidesB.UnlikeC.ThroughoutD.Despite

【答案】A

【解析】根據(jù)本句句內(nèi)邏輯關(guān)系，uitturnsoutthathugs---v說明擁抱還有

其他結(jié)果。因此，前文的邏輯關(guān)系應(yīng)該為“除此以外”，結(jié)合選項，A.Besides

（除此之外）最為適宜。

2A.EqualB.RestrictedC.ConnectedD.inferior

【答案】C

【解析】此題實為邏輯關(guān)系題。根據(jù)句子前后構(gòu)造“helpingyoufeelclose

and（2）”，我們可以判斷，由于空格處與前面內(nèi)容通過and連接，說明

我們要選擇一個單詞與feelclose同義，并且要與后面介詞to連用。因此，通過

對于四個選項含義判斷，C選項有“關(guān)聯(lián)的”含義最為符合。

3A.ViewB.HostC.LessonD.choice

【答案】B

【解析】此題為固定搭配?！癮hostof”表示大量的。其他選項搭配不合理。

4A.AvoidB.ForgetC.RecallD.kee
