    1.【答案】C   【解析】由于下文緊接著敘述到過(guò)去900年的有關(guān)情況。故應(yīng)選history,才能與下文銜接。   2.【答案】B   【解析】根據(jù)句子意思判斷。   3.【答案】A   【解析】應(yīng)選neither才能與其后出現(xiàn)的nor構(gòu)成并列連詞neither…nor…。   4.【答案】D   【解析】根據(jù)句子意思判斷。   5.【答案】D   【解析】需選一名詞與前面的介詞in構(gòu)成介詞短語(yǔ),且這個(gè)短語(yǔ)在語(yǔ)意上要與前面的disastrous defeat相吻合。故選D可以滿足這個(gè)條件。   6.【答案】B   【解析】without serious question意為“沒(méi)有嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題”。   7.【答案】C   【解析】“在……領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下”的表達(dá)方式是under the…leadership.   8.【答案】A   【解析】so…that…構(gòu)成固定短語(yǔ),意為“這么……以致于”   9.【答案】A   【解析】上面提到1649和1688兩次革命,所以A項(xiàng)正確。   10.【答案】D   【解析】根據(jù)句子意思判斷。   11.【答案】C   【解析】the centuries特指那些穩(wěn)定的世紀(jì)。   12.【答案】A   【解析】應(yīng)從A或B中選一名詞作介詞without的賓語(yǔ)。將A和B加以比較:A.changes作可數(shù)名詞用,意為“變化”,符合題意。B.change一詞系不可數(shù)名詞,意為“零錢,找頭”。   13.【答案】C   【解析】根據(jù)上下文意思,應(yīng)選unique“獨(dú)一無(wú)二的;的”。   14.【答案】B   【解析】沒(méi)有一項(xiàng)成文憲法,a為一項(xiàng)的意思。   15.【答案】D   【解析】應(yīng)選survived才與上下文時(shí)態(tài)一致。   16.【答案】A   【解析】bitter意為“尖銳的,厲害的”。   17.【答案】B   【解析】as well as為一并列連詞。   18.【答案】D   【解析】settled符合語(yǔ)法要求。   19.【答案】D   【解析】by compromise意為“通過(guò)折衷、妥協(xié)的辦法”。如:We should settle our differences by compromise.我們應(yīng)采取折衷的辦法來(lái)解決我們之間的分歧。   20.【答案】B   【解析】四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,只有名詞continuity正確。
