(1) A. delighted B. cheered

C. appreciated D. overjoyed

【答案】A

【解析】空格要求填一个动词，根据句意，西夫拉克伯爵在公园向观众炫耀他的发明时，令观众非常高兴。而第1题的四个选项中，表达高兴的意思是词只有A选项，D选项也是高兴，但程度有点过，所以本题答案是A选项。

这句话的意思是：1791年，西夫拉克伯爵在巴黎的一个公园里向众人展示并炫耀了自己的发明，一架被称作“celeriferé”的双轮车。

It was basically an (2) version of a children's toy which had been in (3)for many years.

(2) A. increased B. enormous

C. extended D. enlarged

(3) A. use B. play

C. operation D. service

【答案2】D

【解析】第2题的四个选项都能填入空格中，但根据上下文的语义，这个双轮车应该是一个儿童玩具的放大版，所以，A、B、C三个选项都不适合，increased是纵向的增加，extended是横向的增加，enormous 单指巨大，而enlarged是整体扩大，所以本题答案选D选项。

【答案3】A

【解析】第3题能和介词in搭配的词有in use：在用，in operation：运行中,in service：服务中。根据上下文，符合语义的是A选项。

这句话的意思是：它主要就是一个使用了很多年的儿童玩具的扩大版。

(4) A. resemblance(相似物)

B. shape

C. body

D. appearance

【答案】B

【解析】根据语义，这个句子的意思是这个双轮车有个马形状的木框，那么第4题的四个选项中，只有B选项可以构成“in the shape of” ，意思是“以……的形式”，所以本题答案选B选项。

这句话的意思是：西夫拉克的“celeriferé”有一个马形状的木框，两端分别装有一个轮子。

To ride it, you sat on a small seat, just like a modern bicycle, and pushed (5) against the (6) with your legs — there were no pedals.

(5) A. fast B. deeply C. heavily D. hard

(6) A. surface B. ground

C. earth D. floor

【答案5】D

【解析】第5题空格处要填一个副词，对push推、蹬这个动作加以补充说明，根据上下文的语义，这里要使劲蹬地才行，四个选项中，只有D选项“辛苦地”才符合语义，所以答案选D选项。

【答案6】B

【解析】第6题的空格处要填一个名词，根据上下文的语义，这个名词应该是地面的意思，四个选项中，B选项的意思是接近的，所以本题的答案是B选项。

这句话的意思是：坐上一个小座位便可以骑了，就像骑现在的自行车一样，但双脚要使劲蹬地——因为没有脚踏板。

It was impossible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much (7) to the fashionable young men of Paris.

【答案】B

【解析】第7题的空格要求填入一个动词，根据上下文，这个发明还是吸引了众多的年轻人。选项中的四个词中，语义含有吸引的词有两个，A选项attracted和B选项appealed，不过attract是及物动词，直接可以接宾语，而appeal是个不及物动词，必须和to搭配使用，所以本题答案是B选项。

这个句子的意思是：操纵方向和刹车也是不太可能的，尽管有这些问题，这个发明在当时还是吸引了许多巴黎时尚的年轻人。
