参考解析

解析:该句的意思是“作为伦敦塔的守卫者之一,David Cope在那里工作了近17 年,被游客们称为伦敦塔守卫”, better known是固定搭配,意思是“更知名的”,其他选项和 known都不能搭配,因此选择B项。
height意为“高度”, summit意为“最高点”,peak意为“顶峰”, top意为“顶端”。本句是说“David今年64岁,生活在Byward塔顶部的一个三居室的公寓里,那里是一处警卫室”,因此选择D项。
本句含义是“从卧室向外,我们可以看到伦敦塔桥和泰晤士河的美景”。因此介词from是最合适的,选项C是正确的。
该句意思是“伦敦塔以黑色的大鸟——乌鸦而出名”, be famous for是固定搭配,因此选择A项。
award意为“授予,奖给”, apply意为“应用,申请”, present意为“提出,介绍”, offer意为“提供,给予”。本句是说“八年前当提供给他乌鸦主人的职位时他毫不犹豫地接受了”,因此选择D项。

make sure是固定搭配,意为“确保”。该句意思是“我的工作就是确保这种情况不会发生”,因此选择B项。
devote的意思是“把······奉献给”;spend后面需加动词ing形式,因此排除:pass表示“经过”, provide表示“提供”。本句是说“David每天大约用四个小时的时间来照料这些乌鸦”,因此应该选择A项。
该句意思是“他已经爱上了它们,而紧挨在它们的旁边生活是他最佳选择”。reason意思是“原因”, chance意思是“机会”, opportunity意思跟chance相同,fact意思是’ “事实真相”。因此选项D最合适。
本句的意思是“我可以一直密切关注它们”, keep a close eye on是固定搭配,意思是“留心瞧着,注意”。
该句意思“起初,David的妻子Mo对生活在塔里的想法并不热衷”, firstly 意为“第一,首先”, first of all意为“首先”,at first意为“最初”,first意为“第一”,因此选项C符合题意。
be keen on是固定搭配,意思是“对······感兴趣” , interest后面跟介词in, fond后应跟介词of。因此选项B最合适。
