By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing.到了那个时候，状况良好的兰开斯特轰炸机实属罕见，值得抢救。reasonable在这里表示“尚好的”、“过得去的”，用于表示价钱时，它指“公道的， “合理的”、“不贵的”等：The house is in reasonable condition.这座房子状况尚好。The price of the dress is reasonable.这件衣服不算贵。(2) worth可表示“值得工“具有的价值”，后面跟名词或动名词：This book is worth buying.这本书值得买。That park is worth a visit.那个公园值得一去。4 . The French authorities bad the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. 法国政府让人把飞机包装起来，一部分一部分地搬回法国。句中have为使役动词，表示“使”，后面加名词/代词加过去分词。packaged和moved 都属于这种结构。5 .

Between（在两者之间）,b. During（在期间）;c.While（当时候）;和dAmong（在.之 中）这4个词中，只有b.最合乎题目意思，所以选b.ll.b该句只有选同前一句中的形容词rare （珍奇的，罕见的）含义相符的词才能同前一句意思 吻合。mon（普通的，寻常的），b.uncommon （不寻常的）,c. popular （流行的）和 d.well-known （著名的）中,只有b.同rare的含义相近,所以选b.12.aa. fair（相当好的好行的）,b .bad（坏的）,c.perfeci（完美的）,d.ierrible（可怕的）,4个选择中， b.d含义相同，可以排除,c. perfect很少用于形容状况好坏，只有a.适合形容状况，因此a是最佳 答案.
