答案与题解：
1．B 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。
2．D 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。 ，
3．C从语法上看，四个选项都可以使用，但从意思上分析，只有C项最符合逻辑，最恰当。
4．A 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。
5．B 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。
6．A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 outbreak还是指the last of the five也不明确，因此绝对不能用which。
7．C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。
8．D 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。
9．A 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 deaths意思是“死的人不多”。
10．B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。
11．D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。
12．C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。
13．D 回答这道题时涉及一个词组的用法：bring sb．／sth．to do sth．，意思是“促使……去做……”，知道这个用法就会选择D 。
14．C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。
15．A 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……"。
