Answer 1

Ⅰ.1.解析：选A。根据下文，不难发现他们总共救出7名儿童，应选表“一些、几个”意思的词组。a couple of几个；a dozen of一打；a lot of 许多；a number of 许多，故答案选A。

2．解析：选D。“获得”……奖项，应用win，由句中can可知为主动语态，故答案选D。

3．解析：选C。表示“上课”时，我们可以使用have a lesson/class或attend a lesson/class, attend 有“参加、出席”之意，其他选项均无此意，故答案选C。

4．解析：选B。结合前句，构成be doing...when结构，故正确答案为B。

5．解析：选A。不定代词和数词连用时  ，应注意它们的位置关系：another＋数词，数词＋other; others表示“其他的人(物)”，the other表示“两者中的另一个”，故答案选A。

6．解析：选B。表示“看样子、看起来”时，用it seems as if/从句．..或it looks as if...，用it appear＋从句表示“显得，似乎”，turn表示“改变、旋转”，本句中用于描述地震前的情形，有“看样子，看起来”之意，故答案选B。

7．解析：选A。本句是在回忆地震时的情况，所以应用“记得，记起”，remain留下；remind提醒；remark评论，谈论，故答案选A。

8．解析：选C。此处叙述地震时声音愈来愈大，应使用形容词的比较级。aloud为副词表示“出声地，高声地，大声地”；loud响亮的，大声的；weak虚弱的；clear清楚的，明白的。故答案选C。

9．解析：选C。此句应表示“意识到”地震将要发生，故选C。think想到；find 发现；recognize认出。

10．解析：选D。根据生活常识，发生地震时，老师应命令“每个人”逃生，所以答案选D。

11．解析：选D。根据句意“一跑出去，他们便朝孩子们正在小睡的幼儿园跑去”，可知答案选D。

12．解析：选C。考查时态，应使用过去进行时。have a nap在小睡，所以答案选C。

13．解析：选B。句意为：他们到达时，只有三位孩子从幼儿园里成功地跑出来。manage to do设法(成功)做某事；try to do尽力做某事，但结果未必成功；C，D选项不合文意。故答案选B。

14．解析：选C。此处应使用表示“到达”的及物动词，只有C项符合，其他三项均为不及物动词，故答案选C。

15．解析：选A。结合上下文，此句表示“在地震时(孩子们)由于太害怕而不能移动”，故答案选A。

16．解析：选A。考查it takes sb. some time to do...这一句型，故答案选A。

17．解析：选D。地震中，应先把孩子转移到安全地带。所以答案选D。

18．解析：选A。根据文意，当教室墙壁倒塌时，由于不能确信孩子们是否全部救出，他们只好核实姓名。not sure不能确信；no wonder难怪；no problem没问题；not nearly远非，完全不。故答案选A。

19．解析：选D。表示“只好”之意，只有just，故答案选D。

20．解析：选D。be likely to可能的；be friendly to对……友好的；be kindly to对……友好的，对……亲切的；lovely可爱的，美好的。故答案选D。
