　　參考答案&解析：

　　1、A. crashing.

　　[注釋]crash(to the ground)猛跌(到地上)。Crash n.

　　常指飛機(jī)等的“失事”，如：He was killed in an aircraft crash.(他在飛機(jī)失事中喪生。)本句中用falling不妥，fall指“落下，掉下”，本身并不強(qiáng)調(diào)落下的速度，而crash使“猛跌”，故本題用crashing最佳。

　　2、A. discourage

　　[注釋]discourage sb. from doing sth.使認(rèn)為某事不值得做：Tht wet weather discouraged people from going to the sports meeting.(下雨天使人覺得不值得去看運(yùn)動會。)

　　3、A. equivalent.

　　[注釋]equivalent相等的，相當(dāng)?shù)模篐e exchanged his pounds for the equivalent amount of dollars. uniform 相同的,一樣的。Likely adj.很可能的，有希望的。Alike(表語形容詞)相同的，相象的。

　　4、D. in essence.

　　[注釋]in essence本質(zhì)上;in addition此外;in brief簡短地，簡言之;in common共同。

　　5、B. In a way.

　　[注釋]in a way(-to some extent)在某種程度上;in no way決不;by the way 順便提一下;in the way 礙事。此題不能選by the way，因?yàn)閎y the way 做插入語其后應(yīng)加逗號。

　　本題譯文：我沒有得到我申請得工作在某種程度上說是件好事，盡管我承認(rèn)當(dāng)時我很失望。
