Answer 1

1. B, expansion. 表示 “扩张”。这个国家的统治者一直希望扩张领土。
2. B. prospect +介词(for)， 表示“……的前景、希望”。据预报说今年庄稼有个好收成的希望很渺茫。
3. B. absence, 表示“缺席”，这里需要填入名词，所以D absent不能用。影星的缺席真的让影迷们很失望。
4. D eliminate + 介词(from) 是固定搭配，表示“从……中排除”。在你上交论文之前，应该先把里面所有的错误都排除。
5. D informal, 表示“非正式的”。这只是个非正式舞会，你可以穿牛仔裤。
6. C. perenference，“偏好”。
7. A. gloomy. 表示“前途暗淡的”。
8. D gang, A gang of 表示“一帮、一伙”。
9. B implicit, 表示“含糊不清的、含蓄的”。我一见到她就问问题，但她只是含糊其辞，而不是给我明确答复。
10. C confine+介词(to),表示“局限于”。这次专家的评论局限于电子商务。
11. D alternative to doing, 表示“替代选择做什么”。这里如果用那个mean，需要改成means of doing。means (单复数同形)可以指人或物，其含义为“手段”或“工具。
12. B such a situation, 这样的情况。such在这个句子中起限定作用，修饰a situation，意思是“这样的,此类的”。 如 She has bought paper, pens, and other such stationery. 她买了纸、笔以及诸如此类的文具。 Such accidents should not happen again. 不可以再发生这种事故了。
13. C raise, "提高"，raise one's voice, 提高音量
14. C hard. hard on sb. "对……很严格”，这里不能用strict，虽然和hard可以通用，因为strick后面需要跟介词to。
15. B strong. strong emphasis, 表示“郑重强调”。
