    A

    projections

    B

    revelations

    C

    demonstrations

    D

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    screenings出现在第一段首句。文章开头首先介绍到据历史记载第一部有声电影是1927年的The jazz Singer,但有声电影并非经过数年的silent screenings之后突然出现。可推测silent screenings应该指的是无声电影。screening意为“放映,播放”,而projection也有“放映”的意思,因此答案为A项。

    B

    interested

    C

    D

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词义推测题。文章第三段提到“a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed”,由此可知,是这些国家水被污染,因此喝配方奶粉长大的孩子比母乳喂养的孩子在出生后的前六个月更容易夭折。因此选择D选项。finish完成,结束。interest使……感兴趣。clear清除,使干净。意思均不符合。

    A.Punished timely.
    B.Spread widely.
    C.Continued gradually.
    D.Dropped sharply.

    答案:D

    词义题。根据画线词定位到第三段。前面说学生考试分数不高,就会在情感上对其造成消极的影响,导致他们质疑自己的学习能力,失去信心,不想继续尝试。随着这样的想法不断加深,他们的表现也不可逆转地急剧下降。由此可以推断出plummeted与Dropped sharply“急剧下降”意思相近。故本题选D。

    解析:
    “select”作为动词时,意为选择,这个大部分人都知道,但却不知它还可以做形容词表示“精选的”。原句指在众多地区中只局限于美国和加拿大等特定地区的活动,因此意为“特定的”。
