(1). In the theatre that actors are very ___________ to the reaction of the audience.
    A. sensible
    B. sensitive
    C. emotional
    D. positive
    【答案】B。
    【解析】本題C、D選擇項很容易排除掉,而前兩個選項拼寫相近,很容易造成混淆。但根據(jù)詞義項可知,sensible為“明智的、有判斷力的”之意,sensitive為“敏感的, 靈敏的”之意。根據(jù)此處上下文,正確答案為B:演員對觀眾的反應很敏感。

    C. effort
    D. affect
    【答案】D。
    【解析】在本題中,其中三個選項拼寫或發(fā)音相似,仔細分析其義,我們得知:A 項的意思是“有效”,C 是名詞“努力”之意,只有D項是動詞,表示“影響”,而B表示的是“吸引”,由此得知,惟有D. affect是正確答案。
    (3). The ship set sail after all the crew came on __________.
    A. aboard
    B. abroad
