共有財產。根據句意可排除A，C兩項。property側重于指金錢上的財產，財物。而estate側重于指地產，如：realestate房地產，不動產，根據上下文可知黃金是屬于金錢上的財產，property較為合適，故答案為D項。In1942,theHMSEdinburghwassunkintheBarentsSea.Itwasonits(21)______backtoBritainwithninety-oneboxesofRussiangold.(22)______thirty-nineyearsitlaythere,toodeepfordiversto(23)______.Noonewasallowedtoexplodeit,either,sincethebodiesofsixtyofthecrewalsolayinthe(24)______.Then,in1981,anex-divercalledJessopdecidedtotryusingnewdivingtechniques.(25)______hecouldnotaffordtofinancethe(26)______whichwasgoingtocostfourmillionpounds,hehadtolookforpeoplewhowere(27)______totaketherisk.(28)______,theywerenotevensurethegoldwasgoingtobethere!FirstaScottishdivingcompany,thenaGermanshippingcompanyagreedtojoinintheretrieval(29)______.Notlongafterthat,Jessop(30)______afourthcompanytotakea(31)______.Sincethegoldwasthe(32)______oftheBritishandtheSovietgovernments,theybothhopedtomakea(33)______,too!Thebiggestproblemwashowtoget(34)______thegold.Fortunately,theywereabletoexaminetheEdinburgh’ssistership,theHMSBelfozt,to(35)______outtheexactlocationofthebombroom,(36)______thegoldwasstored.Theyknewitwastobeanextremelydifficultanddangerousundertaking.Toreachthegold,theywouldhavetocutalargesquare(37)______thebodyoftheship,gothroughtheemptyfueltankanddowntothebombroom.Aftertwenty-eightdives,they(38)______tofindthefirstbar.Everyoneworked(39)______theclock,helpingtocleanandstackthegold,(40)______astofinishthejobasquicklyaspossible.[單選題]13.______.A.profitB.benefitC.successD.welfare正確答案：A參考解析：profit益處，收益；benefit益處，好處；success成功；welfare福利。makeaprofit表示獲利，為固定搭配；benefit表示獲利時，用其固定搭配benefitfrom／by，從……中獲利；success其固定搭配makeasuccessofsth，獲取成功，取得成就；welfare常用于welfareservices福利事業。該句表達的是這兩個國家都希望能夠從中獲利。故答案為A項。In1942,theHMSEdinburghwassunkintheBarentsSea.Itwasonits(21)______backtoBritainwithninety-oneboxesofRussiangold.(22)______thirty-nineyearsitlaythere,toodeepfordiversto(23)______.Noonewasallowedtoexplodeit,either,sincethebodiesofsixtyofthecrewalsolayinthe(24)______.Then,in1981,anex-divercalledJessopdecidedtotryusingnewdivingtechniques.(25)______hecouldnotaffordtofinancethe(26)______whichwasgoingtocostfourmillionpounds,hehadtolookforpeoplewhowere(27)______totaketherisk.(28)______,theywerenotevensurethegoldwasgoingtobethere!FirstaScottishdivingcompany,thenaGermanshippingcompanyagreedtojoinintheretrieval(29)______.Notlongafterthat,Jessop(30)______afourthcompanytotakea(31)______.Sincethegoldwasthe(32)______oftheBritishandtheSovietgovernments,theybothhopedtomakea(33)______,too!Thebiggestproblemwashowtoget(34)______thegold.Fortunately,theywereabletoexaminetheEdinburgh’ssistership,theHMSBelfozt,to(35)______outtheexactlocationofthebombroom,(36)______thegoldwasstored.Theyknewitwastobeanextremelydifficultanddangerousundertaking.Toreachthegold,theywouldhavetocutalargesquare(37)______thebodyoftheship,gothroughtheemptyfueltankanddowntothebombroom.Aftertwenty-eightdives,they(38)______tofindthefirstbar.Eve
