【1】句意：你們認為這杯水多重？

heavy重的；full滿的；long長的。根據(jù)下文中Their answers were different, from 20g to 500g.他們的答案從20克到500克不同可知，空處的詞是“重的”，故答案為A。

【2】句意：學生們開始思考并猜測。

read讀；watch觀看；guess猜測。根據(jù)下句Their answers were different, from 20g to 500g.他們的答案從20克到500克不同可知，學生們不知道確切答案，所以空處的詞應是“猜測”，故答案為C。

【3】句意：這與真正的重量沒有關系。

height高度；weight重量；length長度。根據(jù)上句“How ______1______ do you think this glass of water is?” 你們認為這杯水多重？可知，空處的詞應是名詞“重量”，故答案為B。

【4】句意：如果我拿它一分鐘，那是可以的。

minute分鐘；day天；week周。根據(jù)下句If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm.如果我拿它一小時，我將右胳膊疼痛可知，空處的詞是比hour小的單位，分鐘。故答案為A。

【5】句意：如果你拿它一天，你將不得不給醫(yī)生打電話。

policeman警察；teacher老師；doctor醫(yī)生。根據(jù)If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. 如果我拿它一小時，我將右胳膊疼痛可推測出，如果拿一天，胳膊會更不舒服，需要看醫(yī)生了，故答案為C。

【6】句意：我們必須做的事情是在又拿起杯子之前，放下杯子，休息一會。

rest休息；shake搖動；work工作。根據(jù)but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.我拿的時間越長，它變得越重可知，空處的詞應是動詞“休息”，故答案為A。

【7】句意：如果我們一直背負負擔，遲早我們將會不堪重負。

this time這次；from time to time不時；all the time一直、始終。根據(jù)后句句意可知，空處的短語應是“一直”，故答案為C。

【8】句意：我們必須時而放下負擔，以便我們能重新振作起來，繼續(xù)前進。

think about考慮；put down放下；raise up舉起。根據(jù)后句so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on以便我們才能重新振作，由此可以推測重新振作的前提是“放下”背負的重擔，故答案為B。

【9】句意：因此在你今晚下班回家之后，卸下負擔。

after在……之后；since自從；until直到……才。根據(jù)句意可知，空處的詞是“在……之后”，故答案為A。
