答案及解析：1. D [解析]in case of 意为“假设，万一”，in name of意为“以...的名义”，in possession of意为“拥有，占有”，in charge of意为“负责，受...保护”。根据前面的danger可推出正确答案为D。

2. A [解析] fantasize意为“想象，幻想”，fascinate意为“使着迷”，facilitate意为“帮助，促进”，finalize意为“使结束，使完结”。只有选项A可以与about连用，且与题意符合。 故正确答案为A。

3. A [解析]novels意为“小说”，novelties意为“新奇事物”，notices意为“通知，预告”，novices意为“新手，初学者”。此题考查形近词，不难根据题意判断，只有“novels”与电影相关，故正确答案为A。

4. A [解析] instantaneous意为“瞬间的， 即时的”，spontaneous意为 “自发的”，simultaneous意为“同时发生的”，instinctive意为“本能的，天生的”。电报和电话都是即时的通讯工具，故正确答案为A。

5. B [解析]worked out意为“被算出， 据计算”，worked up意为 “激动，愤怒”，worked over意为“检查，研究”，worked against意为“违背，妨碍”。根据题意前后语气可知，正确答案为B。

6. A [解析]occasion 意为“引起， 惹起”，concern意为“涉及，关心到”，illuminate意为“阐明，说明”，ensue意为“跟着发生，追求”。根据题意，与proposal构成合理搭配的词是occasion，即“引起议案”句中a barrage of意为“大量的，接二连三的”。故正确答案为 A。

7. B [解析]except for意为“除...之外”，despite意为“不管，尽管”，as意为“当...时，随着”， though意为“尽管，虽然”根据题意，答案在选项B和 D之间，做“尽管”的意思时，despite 是介词，而though是连词，后面跟结构句。故正确答案为 B。

8. D [解析]考查英语倍数的表达方法，其表达方式有很多种。其中有一种是“...times +as many (或much) +名词+as...”，故正确答案为D。

9. A [解析]In years to come意为 “在未来的儿年里”，Since coming years意为“由于未来些年”，For years to come意为“在未来的几年”， 范围比In years to come要广，Over coming years意为“未来几年”，一般放在句末。故正确答案为A。

10. B [解析]be committed to doing意为“致力于”。shape意为“进行，进展”，这里是不及物动词，故正确答案为B。

11. C [解析]考查固定短语含义。Allowing for“考虑，顾及”代入空格，句意通顺。故选C。 acknowledging“承认，答谢”；affording“买得起；给予”；accounting for“说明，占”。

12. B [解析]考查固定短语含义。answer for意为“承受...的后果（报应）”代入空格，句意通顺，故选B。answer to“符合”；answer back“顶嘴”；不存在answer about这样的短语。

13. A [解析]考查短语搭配。with rare exceptions是英语中较为固定的一种搭配，表示“很少有例外的情况”，其他三个选项不用于这一短语搭配中。

14. C [解析]考查名词辨析。verify的意思是“证实”。四个选项中，只有confirm的意思与之一致，故选C。此外，本题根据witnesses“目击者”，也可猜到verified的意思。confuse“使...迷惑”；confess“承认，坦白”；conceal“隐藏”。

15. A [解析]形容词的含义。empty“空的”，强调“中空无物”，与full一词相对，此处指“油箱空了”，符合句意。vacant“空缺的，未被占用的”，强调“通常有人使用但目前未被占用”。blank“空白的”强调“（表面）缺乏可见、有意义特征的”。deserted“荒芜的”。

16. B [解析]考查感叹句的构成。感叹句主要有两种：What (+ a/an) + a. + n. (+主谓+其他成分)和How + a/ad. (+主谓)。此外，口语中还可以用陈述句。祈使句和疑问句表达感叹，也可以用how dare/dared (+主谓)的结构。A，C，D三个感叹句均正确，B错在good，这里是对动词sings的修饰，应用副词well，故选B。

17. C [解析]动词短语的含义。show off“炫耀”，代入空格，句意通顺，故选C。shows up“揭露，露面”；shows around“带领...到处看看”；show out“送出客人”。

18. B [解析]量词搭配。scraps多指“废弃不用、小块的诸如纸屑、碎片等等”，用于此，符合语境，故选B。sheets常指“整片宽而薄的纸张、金属、薄片等”，从句子的语境看，房客留下的东西不应该是“整片的”，排除A。page“页”不能用来修饰布匹，也排除；slice通常指“从一大块东西上切下来的薄片”，不带有“零碎的，废弃的”的含义。

19. D [解析]动词含义及用法。D. fluctuated“波动”，常特指价格等围绕某中轴线出现不规则的上下被动，符合题意。其他三个选项不具有fluctuate的这一特别含义。

20. D [解析]考查句子成分。A项的all是主语They的同位语；B项的反身代词himself是主语manager的同位语；C项的“My Love from the Star”是TV series的同位语。D项包含buy sb. sth. 的结构，反身代词myself作buy的间接宾语，而非同位语，该句没有同位语成分，故D为本题答案。
