参考答案
1.C
【句意】这个足球队以一种喧嚣的方式庆祝它的胜利,因此楼下的邻居们愤怒地向他们抱怨。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。strenuous“费力的;艰苦的;奋力的;顽强的”;ambiguous“模棱两可的;含混不清的”;tumultuous“喧嚣的;热烈的;欢腾的;动荡的;狂暴的”;conspicuous“易见的;明显的;惹人注意的”。由句中关键词“celebrated its victory庆祝它的胜利”与“so the neighbors downstairs complained bitterly to them因此楼下的邻居们愤怒地向他们抱怨”的对应知“喧嚣的”符合语境,故C项正确。
2.A
【句意】只要这位病人接受一种不同的治疗而不是使用抗生素,他现在可能仍然活着。
【解析】语法结构——表示与过去情况相反的虚拟语气。由句中关键词“instead of using the antibiotics而不是使用抗生素”与“he might still be alive now他现在可能仍然活着”的对应知这里表示“与过去情况相反的虚拟语气”,再由这类虚拟语气中从句谓语动词为过去完成时知A项“had received”正确。
