Answer 1

答案：C;A;C;D;A;B;D;B;C;B;A;D;A;D;B;C;B;D;C;C
解析：

(1)根據(jù)本句意義和實際生活經(jīng)驗，應(yīng)選“擁有了水就意味著控制了旱地”。 (2)“像沙漠之類的旱地”。 (3)“控制沙漠是可能的，即使并不擁有大量肥沃的田地”，而不是farming land（可耕地）。 (4)雙重否定句，說明爭水是經(jīng)常發(fā)生的；not unlawful不是不合法的；not unacceptable不是不可接受的；not unpopular不是不流行的，皆與原意不相符合。 (5)“制定法律來保護(hù)……”。 (6)時間狀語“在早期的美國西部”，就是用法律保護(hù)“來定居的人”用水的權(quán)利。 (7)as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句“眾所周知……”。 (8)“足夠的水供每個人隨心所欲地用”，plentiful富裕的，豐富的，多的。 (9)water后的定語從句“確定某一特定時期的用水量”。 (10)其主語是第9題中的短語“確定特定時期的用水量需要仔細(xì)計劃一下”。request請求，要求。require需要。 (11)由上句接下來，“為的是更加有效地利用水”。 (12)“根據(jù)對水的預(yù)報來改變……”。 (13)“正確（合理）的供水預(yù)報是根據(jù)……”。 (14)由下文“than from below”，可知用above，上下相對。 (15)不及物動詞“增加”。 (16)“山頂上的積雪”，tip“稍，末端，尖端”，與top形似而意不同。 (17)科學(xué)家們研究的是“利用”山頂積雪的辦法。 (18)把“收集到的數(shù)據(jù)”從repeater station傳到base station。 (19)在base station的人可以通過“按”電鈕得到數(shù)據(jù)。 (20)時間狀語“在不久的將來”“就將會……”用將來時態(tài)。
