答案解析:
1.【答案】 K
【精析】名词辨析题。根据句意,空格处缺少名词,意为"活动,项目"。 H)images意为"影像,图像";O)victims 意为"受害者",均与句意不符。
2.【答案】 M
【精析】名词辨析题。空格位于定冠词the之后,介词of之前,缺少名词,与took on the...of搭配,因此选M)role"角色"。A)acting 意思接近句意,但是不能和took on the...of 搭配。
3.【答案】 A
【精析】动词辨析题。空格句谓语动词为studied,因此as peacemakers作主语Groups of children的定语,as意为"是,作为"。此处应用现在分词作定语,选项中的另一个现在分词为B)assuming意为"假设",不符合句意。
4.【答案】 J
【精析】动词辨析题。空格处缺少谓语,直接宾语为opportunities,需要及物动词。答案只能选offer。
5.【答案】 D
【精析】形容词辨析题。空格处单词作ones的定语,与peaceful并列,意义应该与angry相反。cooperative 意为"合作的"。 C)comprehensive意为"理解的,广泛的",意义不符。
6.【答案】 G
【精析】副词辨析题。空格位于take a step之后,介词toward之前,需要副词。孩子需要向前迈进一步成为和平缔造者。take a step forward"向前迈进一步"。 L)respectively意为"分别地",意义不符。
7.【答案】 F
【精析】副词辨析题。空格位于be动词与表语useful之间,需要副词修饰useful。especially符合题意。
8.【答案】 I
【精析】名词辨析题。空格处需要名词,意义与resources 或者teachers 并列。image为名词,看似与resources并列,但意义不如information恰当。
9.【答案】 O
【精析】名词辨析题。空格位于定冠词the之后,介词of之前,缺少名词,要帮助的应该是孩子--战争的受害者。
10.【答案】 E
【精析】形容词辨析题。空格位于定冠词the之后,名词school之前,缺少定语。根据文章意思,先在一个班级创建和平缔造者俱乐部,然后扩展到其他班,最后影响到整个学校的文化氛围。entire"整个"符合题意。
