In fact, nonsmokers who must {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}inhale (吸入) the air polluted by tobacco smoke may {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}more than the smokers themselves.

I am {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}asking you to maintain {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}in the auditoriums, classrooms and seminar rooms. This will prove that you have the nonsmoker's health and wellbeing {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}, which is very important to a large number of our students.

  • C. just
  • D. wholly
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】本题测试词义辨析。entirely意为“整个地,完全地”,较wholly语气强。这与entire和whole的关系一样,凡被分割、破坏或切断的都不能称为entire;whole含有部分的观念,entire则指全然的整体;entire可以修饰抽象名词,whole却不能。如:I'm in entire ignorance as to what he did (=I'm entirely ignorant). B项totally与上面两个词的主要区别在于它有较强的计算意味。

  • B. However
  • C. Further
