B. instant; ahead
C. accurate; beyond
D. primitive; through
答案:
A. immediate; along
(答案→)B. instant; ahead
C. accurate; beyond
D. primitive; through
解析: 句意:这并不令人感到奇怪,当一些兵马俑被带到大英博物馆展览的时候,他们立刻成功了。似乎他们还将要保持面向外国人的头号旅游景点很多年。Immediate和instant含义区别不大,都是表示立刻,马上的意思;本题关键在于区别along与ahead的含义,along强调“延续向前或继续向前”,含有没有止境的意思。Ahead意思是向前,多久没有确定时间。选A则表示会永远不间断的持续下去,从常识来说这是不可能的。故选B,意思是保持第一位的旅游景点还要许多年,没有确定时间。
