答案

1.D
power强调力量权力,排除了.
facilities,abilities,faculties都有能力的意思,只是侧重点不同,faculties强调生命体的机能、官能,abilities强调做到某件事的能力,facilities强调轻松做成一件事的资质.选faculties的话,虽然他身体弱,但官能都很好,非常强烈的转折.但其实这三个都可以跟前面身体的脆弱构成转折关系,我不确定.这个题目是单选题还是有文本的,如果有文本比较好判断.
2.A
expedition 考察
chase 追逐
trail 追踪
endeavor 努力
3.A
come down to 归根结底,归结为
come down with 感染,付钱
come out with 说出,提出
come in for 接受,遭受
4.D
keep up 有继续的意思,但强调免于受损,比如keep up payments,keep up a house
hold out 持续,坚持要求,一般说hold out for sth.
hang on 坚持不懈,保住,一般说hang onto/ hand on to sth.
stick to 坚持不变,遵守.
词组后紧跟whatever引导的宾语从句,所以必须选择一个及物的词组.
5.C
presumably 据推测,大概
increasingly 越来越多地
invariably 总是,不变地
dominantly 主要地,支配地
题干说universal,可见是普遍的规则,这句话直译是经济的强大周期总是被衰退替代,也就是说强盛之后必然是衰退.
