1.To the great ________ of the citizens, no one else was infected with H1N1 except the 12 confirmed cases.
A.relaxation B.disappointment
C.relief D.surprise
解析:考查名词辨析。后半句提到除了已被证实的12个病例外,没有其他人感染这种病毒,这显然是让人极其“宽慰(relief)”的事情。
答案:C
2.The project alongside with the experiment we had once devoted so much time ________ perfectly.
A.to work out B.to working out
C.to worked out D.has worked out
解析:句意:我们花费如此多的时间进行的工程及相关的实验运行得很好。解答该题要注意分清句子结构,“we had once devoted so much time to”为定语从句(省略了that/which)修饰“the project”,“worked out”为本句的谓语动词。
