”；believe意为“信任”；hear意为“听到”。6.依据空后的but和darker可知，设空处意思与darker相反，依据首段对留坎小镇的地形描述可知，小镇在群山之中，小镇里的居民仰头可以望见蓝天，但是山谷里却是阴暗的。blue意为“蓝色的”，符合语境。7.空前But为表转折的提示词，表示有变更发生。change意“变更”，符合语境。help意为“帮助”；happen意为“发生”；matter意为“有关系”8.依据空后的关键词reflect和第6空后的mirrors可知，此处表示小镇引进了一组高科技镜面。mirror意为“镜子”，符合语境computer意为“电脑”；telescope意为“望远镜”；camera意为“照相机”。9.依据上文可知，镜面系统将安装在周边山峰，从山峰将阳光反射到小镇。此处表示小镇的居民在周三收到了第一缕冬日阳光。receive意为“收到”，符合语境。remember意为“记得”；forecast意为“预报”；imagine意为“想象”。10.依据第三段第一句中的asystemofhigh-tech_______wasintroduced和空前的residentsofRjukan____theirveryfirrayofwintersunshine可知，此处指的是一组高科技反射镜面被投入运用。putsthtouse意为“将某物投入运用”，符合语境。11.依据空前的Themirrorsarecontrolledbyacomputer和空后的toturnalongwiththesunthroughoutthedayandtocloseduriwindyweather可知，电脑的作用是来限制、管理这组反射镜面的。direct意为“指挥；管理”，符合语境。forbid意为“禁止”；predict意为“预言”；follow意为“跟随”。12.依据空后的creatinganareaofsunlightroughly600squaremeters和第四段中的Thetownsquare可知，这组镜面将光束集中反射到小镇的中心广场，光照的面积大约为600平方米。square意为“广场”，符合语境。library意为“图书馆”；hall意为“大厅”；street意为“街道”。13.依据上下文语境及设空处后的Rjukanresidentsgatheredtogether可知，小镇居民齐聚在广场的时候应是有阳光出现的时候。appear意为“出现”，符合语境。return意为“返回”；fade意为“渐渐消逝”；stop意为“停止”。14.依据空后的standingthereandtaking___ofeachother可知，此处描述人们相聚在广场时喧闹的场景。sit意为“坐”，符合语境。drive意为“驾驶”；hide意为“躲藏”；camp意为“宿营”。15.设空处所在句主要描述小镇居民相聚在有阳光的广场上的场景。takepicturesofsb意为“给某人拍照”；takenotesof意为“记录”，多接物作宾语；takecareof意为“照看”；takeholdof意为“握住；抓住不放”。依据语境并结合四个选项可知，A项符合语境。16.依据下文的Ithinkalmostallthepeopleinthetownwerethere.可知，有阳光的时候，几乎小镇上全部的居民都汇合到场上了。故可推断此处表示这个小镇广场上挤满了人。full意为“满的”，符合语境。new意为“新的”；flat意为“平的”；silent意为“宁静的”。17.上文提到光照的面积只有大约600平方米，而空前却说小镇有3,500人，故可推断出此处表示全部的居民不行能同时享受到阳光。enjoy意为“享受”，符合语境。block意为“阻挡”；avoid意为“避开”；store意为“储存”。18.由上文可知，小镇的居民一年中有将近六个月是享受不到阳光的。sun-starved意为“缺乏阳光的”，符合语境。natureloving意为“
