参考答案&解析:
1.C 从下文只能听到嚼玉米花的声音判断本题答案为no,表示听不到电影中的浪漫声音。
2.B 参照上题,嚼玉米花的声音应该用sound表达。
3.B 从下文中自己所想可以判断这里表示自己的思绪开始游荡,能表达此含义的是wander。wonder表示“诧异,纳闷”,depart表示“离开”,imagine表示想象,都与上下文不符。
4.D 叙述自己过去的事情,又表示经常性行为,应该用used to。
5.A 从下文的betray可以判断,在作者发现Kojak说得一口流利的英文之前一直把对方当作朋友,四个选项中能表示“到某时为止就不……”的是until。
6.B 参照上文,这里表示作者所喜欢的Kojak到美国之后不再说韩语,而学说英语。与perfect语言相对的应该是不正规语言,应该是informal,其他artificial(人工的,假的)、practical(实际的)都与perfect不对立。
7.A 本题考查的是固定搭配feel like,表示自己看到这种情况的感觉。
8.D 本题答案为once,表示“我们一开始学习英语,母亲就提出了一个建议,建议我们在家里都说英语”。
9.B 此处考查上下文理解。从we all seemed to avoid each other 与we sat at the dinner table in silence来看,答案应该是quiet,即“屋里十分安静,大家都避免和对方说话”。
10.D 此处考查固定搭配和词汇。prefer A to B表示相较于B,更喜欢A。而从各选项来看,可以判断答案为speaking,其他都要带宾语。
