Question

It was not surprising that when some of the terracotta warriors were taken to the British Museum for
an exhibition, they were a(n) ______ success. It seems that they’ll remain the number one tourist
attraction for foreigners for many years ________.

A．immediate; along

B．instant; ahead

C．accurate; beyond

D．primitive; through

Answer 1

B

句意：這并不令人感到奇怪，當一些兵馬俑被帶到大英博物館展覽的時候，他們立刻成功了。似乎他們還將要保持面向外國人的頭號旅游景點很多年。Immediate和instant含義區(qū)別不大，都是表示立刻，馬上的意思；本題關鍵在于區(qū)別along與ahead的含義，along強調“延續(xù)向前或繼續(xù)向前”，含有沒有止境的意思。Ahead意思是向前，多久沒有確定時間。選A則表示會永遠不間斷的持續(xù)下去，從常識來說這是不可能的。故選B，意思是保持第一位的旅游景點還要許多年，沒有確定時間。
