　　1.【答案】A

　　【解析】在本题中，A项ruined意为”毁坏”;B项damaged意为”损坏”;C项destroyed意为”摧毁”;D项harmed意为”损害，伤害”。这四个词意思接近，但用法不同。首先排除D项，因为harm的宾语往往是人或人的”感情、名誉、健康、关系”等。而句中的主语是 manuscripts (手稿)，所以不合适。其余三项中只有A项最合适，为本题的正确答案。

　　2.【答案】C

　　【解析】本题也是近义词辨析，四个选项动词都有”扩大”的意思，但要跟后面的宾语operation搭配，只有C项expand适合。所以C为本题正确答案。

　　3.【答案】B

　　【解析】A项：”攻击，非难”;B项：”爆裂，突然发作，突然出现”;C项：”劈裂，裂缝，分裂，裂片”;D项：”一阵(风)，爆炸，冲击波，突然的毁灭性的影响”。

　　4.【答案】C

　　【解析】A项：”吞下，耗尽(up)，忍受，取消”;B项：”配置，处理，使倾向于”;C项：”消费”;D项：”抽完，耗尽，用完，竭尽;使筋疲力尽”。

　　5.【答案】C
