Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 B

【2】 B

【3】 D

【4】 A

【5】 C

【6】 B

【解析】

【1】句意：......年前，伦敦人从一条河里取水。hundred“百”不单独表示数字，和数字搭配表示“几百”时不加s，只有构成短语hundreds of“许多”时加s。短语hundreds of不和数字搭配。根据句意这里用hundreds of。故答案为：B.

【2】句意：可是后来因为许多工厂建在河边，河水变得......。 根据句意应该用dirty“脏的”。故答案为：B。

【3】句意：人们将许多东西扔......河里。这里是短语throw sth. into the river（将某物扔进河里）。故答案为：D。

【4】句意：没有人能够.....河水。根据上句提示“没有鱼在水里生存”，这里是没有人能够喝河水。用drink“喝”。故答案为：A。

【5】句意：人们尽最大努力......它。这里是短语try one's best to do sth（尽最大努力去做某事），用动词不定式。C选项正确。故答案为：C。

【6】句意：在1960年河......变得干净了。根据短文开头叙述，这里用again“再次”。故答案为：B。

这是考查知识综合运用的题目。首先通读短文，然后根据语法知识和上下文提示选择合适的选项。
