答案以及解析

【夯实基础】

1.答案：endurance

解析：句意:这些课程旨在教会你如何提高心理承受能力。在形容词性物主代词your后面,应用名词形式。

2.答案：dedication

解析：句意:他们以无私奉献的精神面对了一个又一个的困难。在介词with后面作宾语,且根据and前的devotion可知,应该用名词形式。

3.答案：consecrated

解析：句意:在这里勇敢抗争的人们,不论生死,已经圣化了这片土地,这远不是我们渺小的力量所能增减的。分析语法结构可知,空格处为谓语动词,且句子运用了现在完成时态,故填其过去分词形式consecrated。

4.答案：conceived

解析：句意:去年我的朋友想出了把旧发电站改造为艺术中心的主意。陈述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时态,故填conceive的过去式。

5.答案：in

解析：句意:作为一名没有经验的老师,我试了每一种方法让他们安静下来,但徒劳无功。invain白白地;徒劳。

A

答案：1-4DBDC

解析：1.推理判断题。根据第一段中Butdespiteallofthis,mostpeoplehaveneverheardofhim.可知尽管如此，大多数人从未听说过他。由此可知，JohnOtway作为音乐家在英国并不出名。故选D。

2.细节理解题^根据第三段中HisfanswentoutandboughtasmanycopiesofthenewsingleBunsenBurnerastheycould.AndinOctober2023,Otwayfinallysawhiswishcometrue.可知他的粉丝们尽可能去多买BunsenBurner唱片。2023年10月，Otway的愿望终于实现了。由此可知，当JohnOtway发布BunsenBurner唱片后，他的愿望实现了。故选B。

3.细节理解题。根据第三段中Manyhighstreetshopsrefusedtoselltherecord,sayingthatOtwaywastoooldandunattractivetotheteenagemarket.可知许多商业街的商店拒绝出售这张唱片，说他太老了，对青少年市场没有吸引力。由此可知,一些街头商店不愿意卖他的BunsenBurner唱片，是因为他们认为青少年不会愿意买。故选D。

4.推理判断题。文章主要讲述了英国音乐家JohnOtway虽然在英
