参考答案

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和D,而D选项overjoy意为“使……过度兴奋,狂喜”,感情色彩过于强烈,这里应填delight“使……喜悦”。


固定搭配。show off意为“炫耀”。此处是说他在公园炫耀他的两轮发明物。因此B项正确。


一开始发明的自行车应该是个儿童玩具的扩大版,increased意为“增加的”, enormous意为“巨大的”, extended意为“延伸的”均不合题意。


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意为“相似,相似物”, appearance意为“外貌,外观”。


此处意为“用脚使劲蹬地",故选hard。 heavily意为“沉重地,猛烈地”。


四个选项都跟“地”有点关系,surface意为“表面”, ground意为“地面,土地”, earth 意为“泥土,陆地”, floor意为“地板,地面”,比较之后,只有ground比较合适。


appeal to意为“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”。


hold races在这里是“举行赛跑”的意思,其他选项不合题意。


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”,injury指“小伤”,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意为“速率,速度”,为科学用语,pace意为“步调,步法”,speed意为 “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。


这种自行车并没有长时间受到欢迎,与前面形成转折,用however,因此B项正确。


四个选项都有“综合”吗意思,mixture表示“混合,混合物”,link意为“连接,结合”, combination意为“结合,组合,联合”, union意为“联盟,联合”,全句意为“结合了没有弹簧、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。
