A.gradual
B.regular
C.direst
D.occasional
答案为:C
本题解析:C? constant的意思是“经常的、不间断的”。原句的意思是:他在澳大利亚时和家人一直都保持联系。regular的原意是“有规律的、有规则的”。keep in regular contact就是隔段时问就联系一次这种有规律的方式,也就是没有中断联系。occasional是间或、偶尔的意思,如果说keep in occasional contact,那么和原句的意思就有出入了
6、On the table was a vase filled with artificial flowers
A.wild
B.fresh
C.lovely
D.false
答案为:B
本题解析:B? artificial意为“人造的,即不是真的”,如:artificial leather人造革,artificial rainfall人造雨。false的意思是“虚假的、不是真的”,故在这里可以替代artificial

A.typical
B.complete
C.clean
D.clear
答案为:D
本题解析:D? pure意为“纯净的”,如:pure gold纯金,pure wool纯羊毛。Pure water即纯净水,故可用clean来替代。clear是“清楚、清澈”的意思,并非是“清洁的”。
8、“What do you mean by that”Paul asked sharply
A.critically
B.helplessy
C.politely
D.quickly
答案为:D
本题解析:D? sharp这个词用于不同的语境中有不同的意义,如:sharp knife锋利的刀、sharp angle锐角、sharp criticism尖锐的批评、sharp eye敏锐的眼光、be sharp at figures善于计算、be sharp with sb.对某人严厉等。在该句中,由sharp衍生的副词sharply用于修饰动词asked,问题本身What do mean by that?的语气咄咄逼人,所以应用critically来替代。critically在这里同样具有“严厉地、尖锐地”意思
9、She only needs a minute amount of money
A.certain
B.fair
C.full
D.small
答案为:A
本题解析:A? 这里的minute是个形容词,意思是“细微的、很小的”,和表示“分钟”的名词minute是同形异音词,即拼法相同,但发音不同
