    1.【答案】A

    【解析】本句意為盡管乘客們都已經(jīng)系好安全帶，他們還是被突然向前拋去。although盡管，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，符合句意。while當(dāng)……時候；therefore因此；then接著、然后。

    2.【答案】D

    【解析】show展示、表明；present呈現(xiàn)、陳述，及物動詞；expose暴露。appear出現(xiàn)，符合句意。

    3.【答案】C

    【解析】inform通知、告訴，符合句意。inquire詢問；insure保險、投保，常與against連用；instruct指示、指令。

    4.【答案】B

    【解析】at best最多、至多；at least至少；at length詳細(xì)地；at first開始、最先。at least句意。

    9.【答案】A

    【解析】根據(jù)句意推斷，空格處所填詞應(yīng)與when he had做同位語，故moment符合句意。movement運(yùn)動，idea想法，affair事件。

    10.【答案】A

    【解析】as當(dāng)……的時候，符合句意。unless除非。while當(dāng)……時候，它引導(dǎo)的從句動作時間比as引導(dǎo)從句動作的時間要長。So因此，表結(jié)果，不符合句意。
