Answer 1

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

(1)根据本句意义和实际生活经验，应选“拥有了水就意味着控制了旱地”。 (2)“像沙漠之类的旱地”。 (3)“控制沙漠是可能的，即使并不拥有大量肥沃的田地”，而不是farming land（可耕地）。 (4)双重否定句，说明争水是经常发生的；not unlawful不是不合法的；not unacceptable不是不可接受的；not unpopular不是不流行的，皆与原意不相符合。 (5)“制定法律来保护……”。 (6)时间状语“在早期的美国西部”，就是用法律保护“来定居的人”用水的权利。 (7)as引导的非限制性定语从句“众所周知……”。 (8)“足够的水供每个人随心所欲地用”，plentiful富裕的，丰富的，多的。 (9)water后的定语从句“确定某一特定时期的用水量”。 (10)其主语是第9题中的短语“确定特定时期的用水量需要仔细计划一下”。request请求，要求。require需要。 (11)由上句接下来，“为的是更加有效地利用水”。 (12)“根据对水的预报来改变……”。 (13)“正确（合理）的供水预报是根据……”。 (14)由下文“than from below”，可知用above，上下相对。 (15)不及物动词“增加”。 (16)“山顶上的积雪”，tip“稍，末端，尖端”，与top形似而意不同。 (17)科学家们研究的是“利用”山顶积雪的办法。 (18)把“收集到的数据”从repeater station传到base station。 (19)在base station的人可以通过“按”电钮得到数据。 (20)时间状语“在不久的将来”“就将会……”用将来时态。
