After two hours of this, I realized we would have to do 11 to avoidbeing frozen to death where we stood.

Text 5答案

1. 【答案】C. made

　　【解析】本题测试惯用搭配. make towards(=make for, go forwards, move in the direction of …) 朝….走去。

2. 【答案】B. though

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.though 表示让步意义，引导让步状语从句。因为从句主语和主句主语相同，从句谓语又包含be,所以从句中的主语和助动词可以省略。例如：1) The girl, though plain, had a good kind face. 2) I went ontalking , though continually interrupted by John.

3. 【答案】C. as

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.从上下文意思看，本句中从句与主句的联系是因果关系，故选 as,表示原因，其他词均不切题。

4. 【答案】D. blown

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配.fallen 和flown均为不及物动词，不能用于被动语态。blow vt.吹，正合题意。

　　本句译文：这里我们没有发现什么雪，因为大部分雪似乎已从山上刮走了。

5. 【答案】A. view

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配. 此处view 意为“看见的东西，景色”，例如：Your house has a fine view of the hills. (从你的房子能看到这些小山的美丽景色。)本句译文：看不到远处的山，因为我们四周的云层正在形成。

6. 【答案】A. came up

　　【解析】本题测试词义型惯用搭配.come up (=happen)发生，形成：A snowstorm is coming up. (一场暴风雪正在酝酿之中。)本句中有suddenly,故用came up 比came on 更妥。

7. 【答案】B. noticed

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配. notify vt.(=inform sb. of sth. ; report sth. to sb.) 通知，报告。glance(at)(=take a quick look at) 看一眼(强调行为的过程)。因此，notify和glance均不符合题意。notice vt. ( =become aware of; observe)注意到;留心;看到(强调行为的结果);viewvt.(=look at or watch carefully)仔细察看，注视(强调行为的过程)。可见，此句中应选，noticed.

8. 【答案】B. before

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.

　　本句译文：我们本来应该注意到风暴的来临，但是那时我们正在集中精力开路。我们还来不及采取任何措施，就已被白雪照的眼花缭乱。

9. 【答案】A. motionlessly

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配.前半句提到“不能上下走动”，所以“不得不一动不动的等待”。根据这种逻辑意思，只能选motionlessly.

10. 【答案】A. In spite of
