[I]hazards[J]seriously[K]emergency[L]ruthlessly
[M]ascending[N]collapse[O]inconvenience
【B2】

选项

答案F

解析 分析句子成分可知,【B2】______off the mountains在句中充当winds的后置定语,再根据空后副词off可以判断所填词可能为动词的分词形式。按照常理,风都是由高处吹向低处,而本句涉及到mountains,故可知风应该由山的高处吹向低处。备选动词中能够表示“由高而低”这一过程的只有[F]descending(下来),故为答案。[M]ascending为干扰项,它表示的是“上升”,故排除。
