问题     People’s tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers【C1】________to listen to their favourite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very【C2】________thing to do in the climate of Britain, even in August. They were【C3】________together like sardines (沙丁鱼) for four days. There were innumerable thieves; a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans found themselves【C4】________, with no money left, and they had difficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a【C5】________of discomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all【C6】________.
    Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open unspoiled country, where people with more【C7】________tastes can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom they【C8】________from contact with nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housing and industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatest beauty and wildness, and often of 【C9】________historic or scientific interest. Along the coasts of some of the maritime (近海的) counties, public pathways have been created; these paths【C10】________for many miles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path, lying inland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way. Here, the longdistance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.
    A) broke          E) crushed      I) hazardous    M) slump

【C5】

选项

答案K

解析 名词辨义题。分析句子主干可知,空格前是一个结构基本完整的句子,空格所在名词短语a________of discomfort作宾语补足语。分析此短语可知,这里缺少一个单数名词。符合语法条件的备选词汇有:nightmare(梦魇,噩梦),coincidence(巧合),slump(暴跌;低迷)和stretch(伸展;延伸)四个。由该句中的discomfort可知,此处要表达的句意为“多数人认为这是一场令人不快的噩梦”,与后面紧接着提到的歌迷们乐在其中的感受形成鲜明对比,因而只有nightmare符合语境,故选K。
