2. B。scenery是不可數名詞，指一個地方的自然景色；scene和view都是可數名詞，view指從某個地方所能看到的景色，多與from / through短語連用；若指包括人和動作在內的場景時，要用scene；sightseeing是不可數名詞，通常指度假中游覽名勝。

3. C。make sense有道理；意義清楚。

4. D。event (運動)比賽、項目。

5. C。句型there is no possibility of doing / that-clause意為“沒有…的可能性”。

7. B。events重大事件；affair(小)事、事務(復數)。

8. A。我知道不該接受這樣一個人的任何東西，但又覺得很難拒絕他提供的東西(offer)。

9. C。make business trips出差；journey著重指時間和空間；travel著重指行為活動。另外，表示“祝你一路順風或一路平安”時，常用A good journey / trip to you.

10. A。instructions說明書(常用復數)，explanation解釋、說明。

11. A。check查明(find out)、核對(make sure)。

12. B。表示“機會”時，opportunity和chance兩者均可；但表示“可能性”時，只能用chance。
