    1.【答案】A。

    【解析】下一句談到文明社會(huì)在正常時(shí)期有比謠傳更好的傳播途徑，也就是說(shuō)，謠傳是原始的，非文明的。其它選項(xiàng)不合文章主題。

    2.【答案】B。

    【解析】from…to從……到；from…until / till與時(shí)間搭配；其它介詞不與from搭配。

    3.【答案】C。

    【解析】means, ways與后面的of news搭配不當(dāng)。resource資源；natural resources of our country我們國(guó)家的自然資源；source表“來(lái)源”。

    4.【答案】A。

    【解析】stress“緊張”，名詞，and后面常接一個(gè)詞性相同，意義相關(guān)或相近的詞，peace和平；prosperity繁榮；confusion混亂；worried是形容詞“焦急的”。

    5.【答案】C。

    【解析】有一類不可數(shù)名詞，加上復(fù)數(shù)后綴-s后，意義有所變化，例：water (水), waters (水域)；snow (雪)；snows (積雪)，此處times是“時(shí)代”的意思，而且，上句中“In times of stress and confusion”。也提示我們這兒應(yīng)用times。

    6.【答案】A。

    【解析】作謂語(yǔ)狀語(yǔ)especially放在句首，句子可部分倒裝。部分倒裝時(shí)，實(shí)義動(dòng)詞用助動(dòng)詞do, did, does提前(疑問(wèn)句即倒裝句中的一種)。本句中spread為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞，且從句中用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，由此可推知主句也用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，故選項(xiàng)A正確。��

    7.【答案】C。

    【解析】give out發(fā)出(光、熱)，散發(fā)(消息)等；give off發(fā)出(光熱)；give up，放棄；send off出發(fā)。

    8.【答案】A。

    【解析】through…channel通過(guò)……渠道；別的介詞不能與channel搭配。

    9.【答案】A。

    【解析】wherever等于no matter where。

    10.【答案】C。

    【解析】此處講的是一種客觀事實(shí)，通篇都用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。
