9、 stop14A killed B has killed C had killed D has been killing15A clear B strage C uncertain D questionable答案与题解：1B 四个选项中只有 to 可以与 according 连用，意为“根据，按照” ，与上下文意思吻合。2D 四个选项中只有 attacking 合适。attack 是及物动词，用它的现在分词作为 army 的定语，后面还带有它的宾语 Syracuse，其他三个选项都是表示被动的意思，不仅语法上无法使用，意思上也说不通。 ，3C 从语法上看，四个选项都可以使用，但从意思上分析，
10、只有 C项最符合逻辑，最恰当。4A 四个选项中，8、C、D 的意思分别为“(小)事件” 、q(意外)事故“和“病例，案例” ，显然不符合上下文意思，只有 A 项(“爆发”)恰当。5B 四个选项中 A、C、D 的意思分别为“改变，变化” 、 “上升，升高”和“下降” ，均与上下文意思不符，只有 B 项(“发生“)恰当。6A 上面说到， “这五次大爆发的最后一次出现于 l889 年像最近一次大爆发一样，它起源于亚洲“，此空白处从语法上分析，应该是一个能够代替那次爆发的主语，it 是最恰当的；用 which 就不恰当，因为这里不可能是一个非限制性定语从句，况且 which 是指the recent
11、outbreak 还是指 the last of the five 也不明确，因此绝对不能用 which。7C 从上下文意思看，尤其是空白后面所说的“被认为正在消失“，因此此处只能是逐步“减少“的意思，绝不能是“扩大“、 “加强” 、 “增加”等其他意思。8D 本空白处前面说到， “l889-1990 年那次大爆发引发了一批新的大爆发” ，后面接着的显然应该是“此后四分之一世纪流感的威胁仍然是经常不断” ，也就是选项 D 的意思，其他三个选项意思都相反。9A 回答这道题时，首先要注意 but 这个表示转折的连接词的存在，也就是它提示了应该选择 few 这个选项，其他三个选项意思都相反。few
12、deaths 意思是“死的人不多” 。10B 上面说到， “上次爆发死的人不多” ，后面说到， “这一次可是一个杀手” ，可见这个空白处应该是一个表示转折的插入语，四个选项中只有 B 是表示转折的，其他三个不是表示“递进“(A、D)就是表示“因果“(C)的。11D 从本空白处的句子中完全可以猜出答案应该是 healthy，因为not only.but also 可以起到很明显的提示作用，前面说 old and sick，后面自然是 young and healthy。12C 从前后文可以很容易猜到。 ，只有少数地方幸免于难，因此只有选项 C 合适，其他三项都不恰当。13D 回答这道题时涉及一个词组的用法：bring sbsthto do sth ，意思是“促使去做” ，知道这个用法就会选择 D 。14C 本句的意思就是， “在这次大爆发之前，它已经杀死了最少l，500 万人” ，语法上，在这样的句子中，主句谓语必须用过去完成时，用以表示“过去的过去“，即“在之前已经” ，因此其他选项均不合适。15A 从上下文看，只有 clear 才恰当，其他三项的意思在这里都不合适。It is thus clear That.是一个很常见的组合，意思是：“由此可见“或“因此，很明显“。
