20、须”;will意为“将要”,都不符合句子要求。10A.opened BreopenedCclosed Dreduced答案:B解析:根据下文“经过两年维修和重建”来看,此处需要“重新营业”这个意思,故用reopened。11A.possibilities BchangesCdevelopments Deffects答案:D解析:possibility意为“可能性”;change意为“变化”;development意为“进展;发展”,三个单词在和show搭配时均不能体现维修的目的。此处谈Space Mountain维修两年的目的是为了提升show effects“展览的效果,”即它的可参观性。1
21、2A.when BsinceCas Dbecause of答案:C解析:此处建议带小朋友的游客尽量在早晨去Fantasyland,后面是提出该建议的理由,因为是比较明显的理由,所以用as。because of不能接句子,when引导时间状语从句,since表示原因时,原因应是对方已知的,通常意为“既然”,位于句首。13A.rows BwaitsCplaces Dpassages答案:B解析:此处指这个景点客容量较小,很容易出现游客扎堆现象,这样就很可能会等很长时间,所以用wait(名词,表示“等待的时间”)。14A.If not BIn a wordCAs a result DWhats mo
