习题解析
1．B 句子的意思是，我等了他二十多分种了，他一直没有来。Show off, 炫耀。Show up, 出现。Show around, 带领参观。
2．C 根据常识，衣服洗完够变小了，穿不上，应该是缩水了。所以选择C。学习这几个词的时候，需要注意一下：这几个词都有“变小，变弱，减弱，减少”的意思，用做这个意思时基本是近义词。不过，有些词还有其他的含义。Decline, 拒绝。Shrink,（由于遇水或内部结构的变化而）缩小。Fall, 跌倒。 3．D 这个题的关键是理解这四个动词的微妙含义。Sink, 陷落，塌陷。Drop, （温度、数字等）掉下，下落，下降。Fall, 倒塌。Decline, 下降，减少，变小。一般来说，指经济不景气、萧条时往往用 decline 这个词。
4．C 句子的意思是，根据今天的报纸，下周天气会很冷。With regard to, 关于。In spite of, 尽管。According to, 根据。In sight of, 看得见的。 5．A 这个练习帮助你区别 other, the other, another, any other 这几个词语的用法。Other 是形容词，其他的。The other, 指两者中的另一个、另一方、对方。Another, 多个中的另一个。Any 和 other 不算固定搭配。
