Answer 1

【答案】

【2】A

【3】E

【4】B

【解析】

这篇短文主要讲述了一场战役之后，我们军队在为下场战役做准备。

【1】句意：我军占领了敌人的前线，然后向前推进了半英里。

根据上文Night had come. There had been a big battle that day可知下文是已经占领的前线。这里是现在完成时，其结构是have done的形式，take的过去分词taken。根据句意，故选D。

【2】句意：我们可以听到他们在挖一个新的壕沟，明天早上就要面对我们。

could情态动词，能，会，后加动词原形。根据题意，故选A。

【3】句意：我们可以听到他们在挖一个新的壕沟，明天早上就要面对我们。

给自己挖一个新的壕沟。trench名词，壕沟。根据题意，故选E。

【4】句意：到了早晨，我们只能看到他们的帽子和铁锹的顶部，因为他们把土扔了出去。

这里看到他们帽子和铁锹的顶部，spades的意思是“铁锹”。故选B。
