17 A.normally B.regularly C.usually D.often

2.【答案】C
【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”.此句意思是：别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的.
3.【答案】A
【解析】这句话的意思是：作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”.填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑.
9.【答案】C
【解析】a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式；a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词；只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式.
例如:
I read a great many English books.
A large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year.
A great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.
13.【答案】D
【解析】attendant仆人；keeper可理解为“饲养员”,但是a student keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”；aide有“助手”之义.作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当助手.
16.【答案】D
【解析】finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行
费用”；pay后应接介词for；其他选项的意思相差甚远.
17.【答案】B
【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切.
18.【答案】D
【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句,应与主句意思相对立.选项中,sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立,但sorrows的分量太重.
