”；believe意為“信任”；hear意為“聽(tīng)到”。6.依據(jù)空后的but和darker可知，設(shè)空處意思與darker相反，依據(jù)首段對(duì)留坎小鎮(zhèn)的地形描述可知，小鎮(zhèn)在群山之中，小鎮(zhèn)里的居民仰頭可以望見(jiàn)藍(lán)天，但是山谷里卻是陰暗的。blue意為“藍(lán)色的”，符合語(yǔ)境。7.空前But為表轉(zhuǎn)折的提示詞，表示有變更發(fā)生。change意“變更”，符合語(yǔ)境。help意為“幫助”；happen意為“發(fā)生”；matter意為“有關(guān)系”8.依據(jù)空后的關(guān)鍵詞reflect和第6空后的mirrors可知，此處表示小鎮(zhèn)引進(jìn)了一組高科技鏡面。mirror意為“鏡子”，符合語(yǔ)境computer意為“電腦”；telescope意為“望遠(yuǎn)鏡”；camera意為“照相機(jī)”。9.依據(jù)上文可知，鏡面系統(tǒng)將安裝在周邊山峰，從山峰將陽(yáng)光反射到小鎮(zhèn)。此處表示小鎮(zhèn)的居民在周三收到了第一縷冬日陽(yáng)光。receive意為“收到”，符合語(yǔ)境。remember意為“記得”；forecast意為“預(yù)報(bào)”；imagine意為“想象”。10.依據(jù)第三段第一句中的asystemofhigh-tech_______wasintroduced和空前的residentsofRjukan____theirveryfirrayofwintersunshine可知，此處指的是一組高科技反射鏡面被投入運(yùn)用。putsthtouse意為“將某物投入運(yùn)用”，符合語(yǔ)境。11.依據(jù)空前的Themirrorsarecontrolledbyacomputer和空后的toturnalongwiththesunthroughoutthedayandtocloseduriwindyweather可知，電腦的作用是來(lái)限制、管理這組反射鏡面的。direct意為“指揮；管理”，符合語(yǔ)境。forbid意為“禁止”；predict意為“預(yù)言”；follow意為“跟隨”。12.依據(jù)空后的creatinganareaofsunlightroughly600squaremeters和第四段中的Thetownsquare可知，這組鏡面將光束集中反射到小鎮(zhèn)的中心廣場(chǎng)，光照的面積大約為600平方米。square意為“廣場(chǎng)”，符合語(yǔ)境。library意為“圖書館”；hall意為“大廳”；street意為“街道”。13.依據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境及設(shè)空處后的Rjukanresidentsgatheredtogether可知，小鎮(zhèn)居民齊聚在廣場(chǎng)的時(shí)候應(yīng)是有陽(yáng)光出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候。appear意為“出現(xiàn)”，符合語(yǔ)境。return意為“返回”；fade意為“漸漸消逝”；stop意為“停止”。14.依據(jù)空后的standingthereandtaking___ofeachother可知，此處描述人們相聚在廣場(chǎng)時(shí)喧鬧的場(chǎng)景。sit意為“坐”，符合語(yǔ)境。drive意為“駕駛”；hide意為“躲藏”；camp意為“宿營(yíng)”。15.設(shè)空處所在句主要描述小鎮(zhèn)居民相聚在有陽(yáng)光的廣場(chǎng)上的場(chǎng)景。takepicturesofsb意為“給某人拍照”；takenotesof意為“記錄”，多接物作賓語(yǔ)；takecareof意為“照看”；takeholdof意為“握住；抓住不放”。依據(jù)語(yǔ)境并結(jié)合四個(gè)選項(xiàng)可知，A項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。16.依據(jù)下文的Ithinkalmostallthepeopleinthetownwerethere.可知，有陽(yáng)光的時(shí)候，幾乎小鎮(zhèn)上全部的居民都匯合到場(chǎng)上了。故可推斷此處表示這個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)廣場(chǎng)上擠滿了人。full意為“滿的”，符合語(yǔ)境。new意為“新的”；flat意為“平的”；silent意為“寧?kù)o的”。17.上文提到光照的面積只有大約600平方米，而空前卻說(shuō)小鎮(zhèn)有3,500人，故可推斷出此處表示全部的居民不行能同時(shí)享受到陽(yáng)光。enjoy意為“享受”，符合語(yǔ)境。block意為“阻擋”；avoid意為“避開(kāi)”；store意為“儲(chǔ)存”。18.由上文可知，小鎮(zhèn)的居民一年中有將近六個(gè)月是享受不到陽(yáng)光的。sun-starved意為“缺乏陽(yáng)光的”，符合語(yǔ)境。natureloving意為“
