8、owever解析thus意为“因而”；so意为“所以”；although意为“虽然”；however意为“然而”。句意为：虽然苍蝇不断地尝试穿过玻璃窗，然而并不奏效。前后两句是转折关系。答案D6A. unusualBlikelyCimpossibleDcommon解析unusual“不同寻常的”；likely“可能的”；impossible“不可能的”；common“寻常的”。由常识可知，苍蝇是不可能成功穿过玻璃飞出去的。答案C7A. diggingBbreakingCpushingDjumping解析dig“挖掘”；break“打破”；push“推”；jump“跳”。短语break thro
9、ugh意为“突破，冲破”，符合语境。答案B8A. killBdieClieDstick解析kill“杀死”；die“死”；lie“撒谎，躺”；stick“粘贴”。由常识判断，如果苍蝇不断地撞击玻璃，就会死在那里。答案B9A. awayBfarCnearDdistant解析away“距离远”；far“远的”；near“近的”；distant“远的”。away用在名词后，表示距离某地有多远，符合语境。答案A10A. dreamsBthinks ofCmissesDlongs for解析dream“梦想”；think of“考虑”；miss“怀念，错过”；long for“渴望”。句意为：只需十秒钟

12、所以其后要用that来引导同位语从句，对idea进行补充说明。答案A16A. senseBdifferenceCeffectDeffort解析sense“感觉，意识”，常和make构成短语，make sense意为“有意义”；difference“区别，不同”；effect“影响”；effort“努力”。句意为：毫无疑问，这种方法对这只苍蝇来说是有意义的。答案A17A. ofBfromCoffDto解析在solution的后面常跟to表示的不定式，是固定搭配。意为“解析法”。答案D18A. adviceBsupportChopeDpower解析advice“建议”；support“支持，支撑”
