參考答案一、1.system2.violent3。unlike4。theory5.harmful6.laying7.exists8.birth9.puzzling10。prevented二、1。Cstop。..from＝prevent.。。from＝keep。。.from，意思是“阻止……"；protect。。。from的含義是“保護……不受傷害”.句意：在夏天,人們喜歡帶著太陽鏡保護眼睛不受強烈陽光的傷害。2.Apuzzling表示“令人迷惑的”，多用來修飾事物;puzzled表示“迷惑不解的”,多用來修飾人，也可以用來修飾人的表情(look,expression）.3.Aintime“及時，遲早”；atnotime“從不,決不”；ontime“按時"；atthesametime“同時”.句意：如果繼續研究，你遲早會發現結果的.4.D第一個空后有many,應用so修飾；從句中不缺少主語、賓語等,因此該從句不是定語從句,而是結果狀語從句，因此第二個空應選擇that.5。Bgentle“溫和的”；violent“暴力的"；fundamental“基礎的,根本的";harmful“有害的”。根據about20commonpeoplewerekilled可知此處應用violent表示“暴力沖突”。6。A此處表示鄧小平“理論”應用theory.7.C由下文的“我懷疑他是否正常"可知應用unlike，表示“不像"。8。Dbeharmfultosth/sb的含義是“對某物或某人有害處”.9。Dlaythetable的含義
