參考答案與簡析：

1. B。besides是"再則"的意思。在別人贊賞的基礎上作進一步敘述，是遞進關系，應該與前面"好"的內(nèi)容保持一致。

2. B。與轉折性連詞but后的內(nèi)容保持邏輯一致："這得看情況，不過通常每周一次。"

3. C。對前面內(nèi)容的重復，以表示強調(diào)，然后在此基礎上順理成章地提出："因此要小心地搬動"。

4. C。由下文可知對方?jīng)]有聽清，請別人再說一遍，此時應該用pardon或sorry之類的話語，以表示禮貌。

5. D。第一說話人表示贊同，隨之又說"物理學與自然現(xiàn)象的研究有關"，由此可知，這里說的是與物理學的性質有關的話，而不是物理課學得如何（不選B）。

6. B。In that case"如果是那樣的話"，是表示假設的詞組，往往用作某種決定或結論的前提條件。

7. A。既然天氣這么好，一切都這么清新，"沿河邊去散散步怎么樣？"。Say這里用以引起對方的注意，可譯作"喂"。
