Answer 1

16. A解析:根據(jù)下文可知，當(dāng)時廣闊的天空 就是人們的美食，所以此處指人們不用“種 植”食物。32 空后的 how to plant crops in the ground也給出了提示。

17. B解析：根據(jù)空后他們?nèi)∠乱黄�天空�?nbsp;吃可知，他們應(yīng)該是在餓的時候會這樣做， 故用 hungry。

18. C解析：根據(jù)下一句中的Other times it tasted like...可知，此處指有時天空嘗起來像熟透的香蕉。

19. A解析:根據(jù)前兩句描述的天空的味道 以及 27 空前的 delicious pieces of the sky 可知，天空是“美味的”。

20. D解析：由下文人們隨意多取，把吃不完 的天空扔進(jìn)垃圾箱可知，很多人沒有“明智 地”利用天空。

21. B解析：根據(jù)下文天空對人們說的話可 知，當(dāng)人們?nèi)∠绿�多片天空吃不完時，天空 發(fā)怒了，故用angry。倒數(shù)第二段首句中的 Sudden y,the sky became angry 也給出了提示。

22. A解析：根據(jù)25空前的I don't want to see pieces of me in the garbage 可知，人們把吃不完的天空扔進(jìn)垃圾箱。

23. B解析:空后的內(nèi)容是天空講的話，所以 此處指天空用巨大的聲音對所有的人說， 故用voice。人們并沒有看到天空的臉龐或體形。

24. A解析：根據(jù)上一段提到的人們把吃不 完的天空扔進(jìn)垃圾箱可知，人們在“浪費(fèi)” 天空贈予人類的禮物。

25. C解析:此時天空還沒有離地面而去，只 是對人們加以警告，所以句意為:我不想再 看到我一片片地被扔在垃圾箱里，否則我 會把我的恩賜拿走。

26. D解析:很長一段時間，人們對自己取下 多少食物都很謹(jǐn)慎。根據(jù)第二段中的 When they took more 以及該空后的 took so many delicious pieces of the sky 可知答案。

27. C解析：Adami取了太多片天空以至于 “吃”不完了。根據(jù)下文他決定把吃不掉的 天空藏起來可推知答案。

28. B解析:根據(jù)上文可知，天空因人們把吃 不完的天空碎片扔掉而生氣，并警告人們 不能再浪費(fèi)。由此可知，此處指Adami知 道他不可以把這些吃不完的天空“扔掉”。

throw away意為“扔掉”。

29. B解析：Adami為了不讓天空看到他的 浪費(fèi)行為，應(yīng)是把這些吃不完的天空碎片 藏在垃圾堆的“底下”。

30. C解析：第三段提到天空因發(fā)怒而變暗 了。由此可知，此處應(yīng)用black ,指天上的 云變“黑”了。

31. D解析：句意：這次我要走了，這樣你們 就再也不能浪費(fèi)我了。

32. A解析：因為此前人們從來不用自己種 植食物，所以在天空離開后人們必須“學(xué) 習(xí)”如何種莊稼。

33. D解析:在天空離開后，人們必須學(xué)習(xí)如 何種k莊稼、如何“狩獵”，也就是說，人們 必須要自食其力。

34. B解析:此處指人們“看著”天空離去。

35. C解析:此處仍是強(qiáng)調(diào)人類自食其力，開 始變得勤勞。這里指人們自己種植莊稼和 做飯。
