22、d of sth.坚信；the effect on sth.对于的影响；由此搭配形式可知C项正确。2C句意：因为她丈夫整晚都没有回来，她很急切，想了解进一步的情况。urgent表示“急切的”；further进一步，故选C。3B句意：他虽然在外工作，心里却一直挂念家中的老母亲。be concerned about 对关心/挂念，符合句意。be satisfied with 对满意；be pleased with 对感到满意；be excited about 对感到兴奋。4Aabsolutely 在此表示“正是”符合语境。Naturally自然地；normally 正常地； completely完
23、全地，均不合题意。5D句意：我们给予狗我们能抽出的时间、空间和爱，作为回报，它们给予我们它们的全部。in all 总共；in fact实际上； in a nutshell简言之；in return作为回报。根据句意选D。6C句意：除非我的房间今晚暖和些，否则我就向酒店经理投诉。此句要用complain投诉；argue争论；regret后悔；pretend 假装。7Agive out “用完”为不及物动词短语；put out “扑灭”；hold up “抬高，举起”；use up “用完，用尽”，为及物动词短语。故选A。8A句意：我上周末浏览杂志时发现了这张小时候照的照片。look throug

27、.”可知D项不正确。本文强调的是减少用水量，而不是家庭的人数，故C项错误。根据全文的内容可推知，水浪费、水污染和水需求不断增长，解决水短缺问题需要付出大量的努力。故选B项。7D写作意图题。最后一段首句“You can take steps to save water in your home.”为主题句，接下来从四个方面就steps进行了展开，即四个方法或措施。显然，本段主要是讨论我们在家里如何节约用水。故选D项。8D主旨大意题。本文为议论文，文章开门见山直入主题：.clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we
28、 also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.讨论的是人类对于水供应的显性和隐性影响。第二段首句似乎将话题转入自然方面的原因，但接下来又将话题转回到人类自身方面管理。第三段中的“Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too.”以及第四段中的“You can take steps to save water in your home.”均指向的是人类行为对于水供应的影响。故选D项。.1.Please look through your work carefully again.2Her words had no effect on him.3.After a long walk，our strength all gave out.4.Id like to see you very much，would you come here right now，if possible？5.I have never read a more moving novel.
