參考答案：

1.C limit：限制，局限。電視臺的位置是受到局限的。prohibit：vt.禁止。bound：vi.跳躍，跳動。shift：vt.轉移，移動。

2.A range射程，有效距離，量程。如：We waited until the enemy was within range，我們等敵人進入了射程。本文指中轉站能發(fā)射到的距離范圍之內。

3.B根據上下文的邏輯關系，需要一個轉折關系的連詞。本句含義為：為了發(fā)射的范圍更廣一些，雖然電視中轉站經常設在高山上，可是卻遠不如設在山頂上發(fā)射的范圍廣。

4.A cover：vt.覆蓋。spread：vt.傳播；help：vt.幫助；pass：vt.通過。此處指中轉站覆蓋的地區(qū)。

5.C通常說on a clear day。強調具體的時間時用介詞on。如：on Friday，on the eveningwhen l was busy。

6.D根據上下文的邏輯關系，此處要用表示條件的句子，加上與前面的句子是并列關系，所以選D。

7.B revolve around：繞轉，公轉（主要指星球，球體），此處指衛(wèi)星繞著地球轉動。spin：vi.旋轉（以……為軸）。the top was spinning merrily.陀螺在輕快地旋轉著。jump：vi.跳躍。circle：v.使轉圈，在……上方盤旋。

8.B visible能看得見的，是形容詞。其余的都是動詞，放在這里是被動語態(tài)，不符合語法。

9.C permanently：adv.永久地，永恒地。al-ways：adv.總是。temporarily：adv.臨時地，暫時地；periodically：adv.周期性地，定期地。衛(wèi)星應該被永久固定在一處進行節(jié)目的轉播。

10.A根據文意，此處要表達的意思是“這使得世界范圍內發(fā)行的報紙能夠同時向全世界發(fā)送新聞。”指示代詞this和that可指代前文的句子或句子中的一部分。This指代距離較近的內容。因此A項最合適。

11.B edition：版本；這里指報紙的出版。popuIation：n.人口；articles：n.文章；reports：n.報道。此三項均不符合題意。

12.C someday：表示將來的某一天。the other day：前一天。on day：有一天。future：n。將來。未來。一般用in the future。因此C項正確。

13.B press a button：按動電扭，最符合題意。touch：觸摸，接觸，主要強調觸覺，一般不和button搭配。suppress：鎮(zhèn)壓。thumb：用拇指翻動。

14.C on the television screen在電視屏幕上。

15.B 當不定式修飾want，have等動詞的賓語、而整個句子的主語是不定式的邏輯主語時，不定式用主動形式表示被修飾賓語的被動含義：We have little homework to do.（我們沒有多少作業(yè)可做。即：沒有多少作業(yè)可以被做。）（實際上是we do homework，所以用主動語態(tài)）；She felt tired because she has three babies to look after.（她要照看三個孩子，所以很累。）（實際上是she looks after the habies，所以用主動語態(tài)。）

16.C 前面有he could…，后面又有he could…明顯是兩個并列句，所以選and。

17.C為了避免重復，可用that，those代替前面提到過的名詞。但this，these沒有這種用法。

18.B methods of past：過去的方法。

19.A press agency：新聞機構。

20.D send message：發(fā)送信息。
