2._________
A:increased
B:enormous
C:extended
D:enlarged

参考解析

解析:根据句意,西夫拉克伯爵使公园里的观众都感到高兴,能表示“使……高兴” 意思的只有A项和D项。而D选项overjoy意思为“使……过度兴奋,狂喜”,感情色彩过于强烈,这里应填delight“使”……喜悦”。
一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版,increased“增加的”,enor-mous“巨大的”,extended“延伸的”均不合题意,所以应选D项enlarged。
此处有三个选项都可以与in搭配,in use“在使用中”,in operation“生效,运行中”,in service“服务中”,只有in use填入此空符合逻辑,故选择A。
最早的自行车是用木头支架做成马的形状,弄懂意思后答案一目了然,resemblance“相似,相似物”,appearance“外貌,外观”,body“身体,主体”,均不符合句意。
此处意思为“用脚使劲蹬地”,故选hard。 heavily“沉重地,猛烈地”,fast“快速地”,deeply“深刻地”均不符合句意。
四个选项都跟“地”有点关系,surface“表面”,ground“地面,土地”,earth“泥土,陆地”,floor“地板,地面”,比较之后,只有ground比较合适,所以答案为B项。
appeal to意思为“吸引”,attract本身就是及物动词“吸引”,后不需要加介词to, take to意为“开始喜欢,开始从事”,所以答案为B项。
hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思,其他选项不合题意。
此处作者想表达的意思是:人们在最后冲刺的时候,受点小伤是很常见的。只有wound和injury有“受伤,伤害”的意思,wound做名词一般指“伤口,受伤的地方”,而in-jury指“小伤”,所以C项为正确答案。
此处表示“最后猛一冲刺”,一定是速度很快,除了 B选项之外的三个选项都有“速度”之意,velocity“速率,速度”,为科学用语,pace“步调,步法”,speed“速度”,是常用词,故选D。
此处的意思是“改变方向”,并不是要改变路线,只有A选项符合题意。
想要改变行车方向需要抬起车头在空中掉转,turn round为惯用搭配,意为 “旋转,掉转”,roll和revolve本身就有“旋转”的意思,后面不需加round,所以C项为正确答案。
这四个选项都有“转圈”的意思,cycle“循环,骑自行车”,circle“旋转,环绕移动”,wind“缠绕,上发条”,spin“旋转,纺纱”,此处主语为wheel,轮子在空中一定是“旋转”, 因此选D。
四个选项都有“综合”的意思,mixture“mixture 混合,混合物”,link“连接,结合”, combination“结合,组合,联合”,union“联盟,联合”,全句意为“结合没有弹簧、没有方向舵,以及遭遇不平整路段等问题,木制双轮车骑起来十分不舒服”,只有C选项的意思放在此处最恰当。
综合全文大意,我们得知法国人发明的木制双轮车便是现代自行车的始祖,A选项符合题意。
