B. True.
C. Likely.
D. Unlikely.
答案
D
解析
题中“far-fetched”修饰“dream”,下文提到“It's definitely not a bird. Nor is it a plane. The garish orange piece of plastic...could pass for a missing limb of a toy tyrannosaurus”,从对打印出物品的描述可知这个想法目前看起来有些不切实际,所以“far - fetched”意思是“不大可能实现的”。A选项“Realistic”表示现实的;B选项“True”表示真实的;C选项“Likely”表示可能的;D选项“Unlikely”表示不大可能的。所以答案选D。

(B)
The earthquake shook down in San Francisco hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of walls and chimneys. But the conflagration that followed burned up hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of property. There is no estimating within hundreds of millions the actual damage wrought. Not in history has a modern imperial city been so completely destroyed. San Francisco is gone.
2. The underlined word "conflagration" means
A. fire
B. flood
C. plague
D. storm

2. The underlined word "conflagration" means
A
.A. fire
B. flood
C. plague
D. storm
答案
A
解析
题干意思是“随后发生的‘conflagration’烧毁了价值数亿美元的财产”。“conflagration”所在句子与前一句“地震摇倒了价值数十万美元的墙壁和烟囱”形成转折关系,且后文提到烧毁财产,可推测“conflagration”指的是一种破坏力强且与火有关的灾害。A选项“fire(火灾)”符合文意。B选项“flood(洪水)”、C选项“plague(瘟疫)”、D选项“storm(风暴)”均不符合语境。
翻译:
(B)
地震在旧金山震塌了价值数十万美元的墙壁和烟囱。但随后发生的大火烧毁了价值数亿美元的财产。实际造成的损失无法以数亿美元来估量。历史上从未有一座现代帝国城市被如此彻底地摧毁。旧金山不复存在了。
2. 划线单词“conflagration”的意思是________。
A. 火灾
B. 洪水
C. 瘟疫
D. 暴风雨
