Answer 1

16. A解析:根據下文可知，當時廣闊的天空 就是人們的美食，所以此處指人們不用“種 植”食物。32 空后的 how to plant crops in the ground也給出了提示。

17. B解析：根據空后他們取下一片天空來 吃可知，他們應該是在餓的時候會這樣做， 故用 hungry。

18. C解析：根據下一句中的Other times it tasted like...可知，此處指有時天空嘗起來像熟透的香蕉。

19. A解析:根據前兩句描述的天空的味道 以及 27 空前的 delicious pieces of the sky 可知，天空是“美味的”。

20. D解析：由下文人們隨意多取，把吃不完 的天空扔進垃圾箱可知，很多人沒有“明智 地”利用天空。

21. B解析：根據下文天空對人們說的話可 知，當人們取下太多片天空吃不完時，天空 發怒了，故用angry。倒數第二段首句中的 Sudden y,the sky became angry 也給出了提示。

22. A解析：根據25空前的I don't want to see pieces of me in the garbage 可知，人們把吃不完的天空扔進垃圾箱。

23. B解析:空后的內容是天空講的話，所以 此處指天空用巨大的聲音對所有的人說， 故用voice。人們并沒有看到天空的臉龐或體形。

24. A解析：根據上一段提到的人們把吃不 完的天空扔進垃圾箱可知，人們在“浪費” 天空贈予人類的禮物。

25. C解析:此時天空還沒有離地面而去，只 是對人們加以警告，所以句意為:我不想再 看到我一片片地被扔在垃圾箱里，否則我 會把我的恩賜拿走。

26. D解析:很長一段時間，人們對自己取下 多少食物都很謹慎。根據第二段中的 When they took more 以及該空后的 took so many delicious pieces of the sky 可知答案。

27. C解析：Adami取了太多片天空以至于 “吃”不完了。根據下文他決定把吃不掉的 天空藏起來可推知答案。

28. B解析:根據上文可知，天空因人們把吃 不完的天空碎片扔掉而生氣，并警告人們 不能再浪費。由此可知，此處指Adami知 道他不可以把這些吃不完的天空“扔掉”。

throw away意為“扔掉”。

29. B解析：Adami為了不讓天空看到他的 浪費行為，應是把這些吃不完的天空碎片 藏在垃圾堆的“底下”。

30. C解析：第三段提到天空因發怒而變暗 了。由此可知，此處應用black ,指天上的 云變“黑”了。

31. D解析：句意：這次我要走了，這樣你們 就再也不能浪費我了。

32. A解析：因為此前人們從來不用自己種 植食物，所以在天空離開后人們必須“學 習”如何種莊稼。

33. D解析:在天空離開后，人們必須學習如 何種k莊稼、如何“狩獵”，也就是說，人們 必須要自食其力。

34. B解析:此處指人們“看著”天空離去。

35. C解析:此處仍是強調人類自食其力，開 始變得勤勞。這里指人們自己種植莊稼和 做飯。
