　　答案与简析：

　　1. B。从后面的答语“He's tall and strong”可知这里打听的是外表。

　　2. D。答语说的是自己对住在核电站周围的看法，所以问句应该是征求观点的内容。Do you have any view on ...?意思是“你对……有何看法？”

　　3. C。后面的“I admire him, too.”告诉我们，他们谈的是“对某人的喜欢和崇拜”。

　　4. A。 根据前面“可爱、喜欢”的语境，可知这里应该是与“赞扬”相关的语言。B、C都不是赞扬之辞，D更是贬义语。

　　5. C。答语的意思是“那是毫无疑问的。”

　　6. D。这是省略了if的非真实条件句，不管是内容还是形式，都与后面的主句相吻合。

　　7. B。选项的意思是“你有确定的想法了吗？”符合后面的语境(还没有。我想听听你的意见)。

　　8. B。根据后面“至少罗斯值得表扬”的语境，这里应该是反驳的语言。“not have a leg to stand on”意思是“站不住脚”。

　　9. A。选项的意思是“我害怕极了”。其余几项都与前文“Enjoy?”相矛盾。rather than具有“而不是”的含义。

　　10. D。由于“天气好”，才引出了后面关于“游泳”或“野餐”的设想和话题。
