1. The fire has caused great losses, but the factory tried to _____the consequences by saying that the damage was not as serious as reported.(可以翻译一下的么)A) decrease ) subtractC) minimizeB D) degrade大火造成了严重的损失,但厂方为了降低后果(的严重性)而声称损失并不像报道的那么大。把...程度降低 用degrade.decrease 一般表示数目的增减,subtract 表示从一个总数中减去一部分。minimize 指最小化,这里跟题意不符。所以选D2. Satellite communication are so up-to-date that even when________D(B)___ in the middle of the Pacific, businessmen can contact their offices as if they were next door(A)gliding (C)piloting(B)cruising (D)patrolling卫星通讯是如此的发达,以至于纵使正游弋与太平洋上的生意人也能同他们的公司进行联系,就好像公司就在身边一样。gliding 滑翔,滑水piloting 飞行cruising 游弋,游历patrolling 巡逻这里根据题目的语境,在太平洋上,只能是乘船游弋了。所以选B
