?、?1.D [本題考查以however引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句的語序知識，however+形容詞+主+謂。]
2.B [表示“保護(hù)……不受/免于……”應(yīng)用protect...from...。prevent/keep/stop...fromdoingsth.意為“阻止……做某事”。]
3.A [be appointed as...被任命為……。]
4.C [因houses與burn是被動關(guān)系，故排除B、D兩項(xiàng)。burn...to death燒死;burn to the ground全部焚毀。]
5.B [分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處應(yīng)用非謂語動詞作狀語。I與experience之間是主動關(guān)系，且非謂語動詞所表示的動作發(fā)生在句子謂語動作之前，故用現(xiàn)在分詞的完成式。]

3.C [從第三段的美洲獅和最后一段看出只是一些動物能夠在地震前出現(xiàn)奇怪行為，但是，并沒有確切地發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的動物怎樣知道什么時(shí)候發(fā)生地震。]
4.C [作者的目的是在呈現(xiàn)一種新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。]
