多项选择题讲解

1. 选（b）。

根据课文someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds可以知道，侦探们在机场的目的是（b）to prevent a robbery（防止盗取），而不是其它三个选项。

2. 选（c）。

根据课文最后一句To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand! 可以知道，侦探们最终没有阻止盗窃的发生，所以要选（c）didn't prevent the robbery，其它三个都不符合课文内容。

3. 选（c）。

从回答中可以看出，此问句是对地点提问的，（a）Why、（b）When、（d）What都不能针对地点提问，只有（c）Where是问地点的，可以用At the airport来回答。所以（c）是正确答案。

4. 选（d）。

这是一句针对动词宾语的提问，回答是名词短语A valuable parcel of diamonds，（a）Why、（b）When、（c）Where这几个疑问词都不能针对作动词宾语的名词提问，只有（d）What可以对名词提问。

5. 选（a）。

前面的句子是过去完成时（had told），表示在过去某一动作或情况发生之前完成的事情，“某人告诉警察……”这件事一定是在“飞机到达”之前发生的。因此after、when、as soon as（一…就…）都不对，正确的答案应该是（a）before（在……之前）。

6. 选（c）。

（a）in后面需有一个表示地点的名词意思才完整；（b）into在意思上讲不通；（d）for后面也需要一个名词作宾语意思才完整；只有（c）inside（在里面）意思是完整的，而且与前半句的动作went into the building相符，因此应该选（c）。

7. 选（d）。

（a）动词短语take off中的off是副词，代词it要放在动词和副词之间；（b）宾语it放在了动词之前；（c）take是及物动词，后面缺了宾语；都不符合语法。只有（d）took it of才符合语法，所以选（d）。

8. 选（a）。

wait是不及物动词，后面不可以直接跟宾语；expect是及物动词，后面应直接跟宾语，所以expect后面不能跟for，也不能直接跟to。因此（b）waiting、（c）expecting for、（d）expecting to都不对，只有（a）expecting是对的。

9. 选（c）。

本句需要选一个与valuable（有价值的，珍贵的）意思相近的形容词作表语，（a）worth是名词或形容词，意思是“价值”、“值得……的”，但与be 动词连用时后面还必须有其它句子成分，如be worth how much（值多少钱）或be worth doing sth.（值得做某事）等；（b）worthy是形容词，但也不能单独作表语，一般与of或动词不定式连用；（d）value是名词，不符合词性；（c）precious是形容词，意思是“宝贵的”、“珍贵的”，与valuable是近意词，而且可以作表语，因此正确答案是（c）。

10. 选（b）。

（c）take from（从……带走）、（d）take to（带给……）明显不符合题意；（a）rob（抢劫，盗取）和（b）steal（偷窃）在英语中意思有点相近，但rob后面必须跟人，steal后面必须跟物。所以（b）steal是正确的。

11. 选（a）。

本句是要解释前一句中的the main building（主楼），（b）smallest（最小的）、（c）first（第一）、（d）greatest（最伟大的）都相差很远，只有（a）most important（最重要的）与the main意思最接近，因此应该选（a）。

12. 选（b）。

full不能和with、by、in等介词连用，只能同of连用，意思是“充满……的”，因此只有选（b）full of才正确。
