　參考答案&解析：

　　1、D. ideas.

　　[注釋] idea(= thought; picture in mind)念頭，思想，想法。

　　2、D. valuable.

　　[注釋] valuable 寶貴的，有價值的，常可修飾advice， suggestion， assistance， discovery等名詞。 precious“貴重的”如: precious metals(貴金 屬)，precious stone(寶石)。

　　3、A. track.

　　[注釋] track(=path made by frequent use)意指“(常走而踏成的)小徑”，如:a track across the moor(越過荒野的小徑)。passage“通路”，如:force a passage through a crowd(在人群中擠出的一條通路). 可見此處選passage不妥.

　　4、B . scope.

　　[注釋] scope 范圍，活動范圍，理解犯圍: 1 Many words are outside the scope of this dictionary. (許多單詞是超出了這本詞典的范圍.) 2 Very hard words are not within the scope of a child's understanding。(非常難懂的詞是超出了一個孩子的理解范圍.) 3 Economics is beyond the scope of a child's mind.(經(jīng)濟學是孩子理解不了的.)

　　5、C. stung.

　　[注釋] sting 刺，蟄，叮。在英語中蜜蜂蟄用 sting ;而蚊子“叮”用 bite， 如: A mosquito just bit me.(狗、蛇，咬)，鈞用 bite ，scratch 搔，prick vt. 扎(穿)，刺(穿).
