參考答案&解析:
1、B 根據(jù)“but”可分析出,火勢(shì)并沒(méi)有在損失造成之前熄滅,所以排除A, C,D,答案為B。
2、A “profitable”的意思為有益的,有用的; “tremendous”意為巨大的驚人的;“forceful”的意思是有力的,強(qiáng)烈的;“favorite”意思為最喜歡的,因此只有A符合題意,答案為A。
3、C “provided”意為“假設(shè),假如”,是虛擬語(yǔ)氣的標(biāo)志;“whatever”是代詞,在從句中的成分應(yīng)為主語(yǔ);“even if ”是“盡管,即使”的意思,表讓步;“as if”是好像的意思,因此只有C符合題意,答案為C。
4、D “the moment”相當(dāng)于“as soon as”因此正確答案為D。
