参考答案与简析:
1. B。besides是"再则"的意思。在别人赞赏的基础上作进一步叙述,是递进关系,应该与前面"好"的内容保持一致。
2. B。与转折性连词but后的内容保持逻辑一致:"这得看情况,不过通常每周一次。"
3. C。对前面内容的重复,以表示强调,然后在此基础上顺理成章地提出:"因此要小心地搬动"。
4. C。由下文可知对方没有听清,请别人再说一遍,此时应该用pardon或sorry之类的话语,以表示礼貌。
5. D。第一说话人表示赞同,随之又说"物理学与自然现象的研究有关",由此可知,这里说的是与物理学的性质有关的话,而不是物理课学得如何(不选B)。
6. B。In that case"如果是那样的话",是表示假设的词组,往往用作某种决定或结论的前提条件。
7. A。既然天气这么好,一切都这么清新,"沿河边去散散步怎么样?"。Say这里用以引起对方的注意,可译作"喂"。
