Answer 1

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

1．take one's leave固定用法，意为“告辞，辞别”。

2．此空应填形容词，thankful“感激的，欣慰的”，用法为be thankful to...而terrible“可怕的，极坏的”，词义不符。

3．as连词“如，像”，又如：Leave it as it is．保持原样，不要动它。

4．the smell of“……的味道”。

5．fall asleep，固定短语，意为“入睡，睡着”。

6．when引导时间状语。

7．a strong smell of smoke“强烈的烟的味道”，而A项dense指“（液体、蒸汽）浓密的”如dense fog“浓雾”，dense smoke“浓烟”。而B项heavy指“（雨／雪）大的”，heavy rain“大雨”heavy snow“大雪”。

8．through dense clouds of smoke“穿过浓烟”。“穿过，透过”用介词through。又如：The sun-shine came into the room through the windows．阳光透过窗户照到房间里。而across表示“横过”如walk across the street/bridge“过街／桥”。

9．be on fire“着火”，固定用法，此句也可表达为“One of the curtains was burning”。burn动词“燃烧”，A、B选项不能用介词。

10．without delay“毫不迟疑，立刻”。

11．instead“代替，取代”，副词。

12．hurry动词，“匆忙，赶快”。

13．fill...with...“用……把……装满”，固定用法。

14．at the same time同时。

15．根据句意，应选before，指Barbara来帮我之前先打119报警。

16．at top speed或at full speed习惯表达法，“以全速／最快速度”。

17．prevent...from doing sth. 阻止……做某事。

18．put out“扑灭”，put off“延期”，breakout “爆发”，break off“中断，停止”。

19．Mange to do sth. 设法得以……，fail to do“没做成”，try to do“试着／尽力去做”，而succeed后接in doing sth.“成功做某事”。

20．have little difficulty in doing sth.
