Cubans are familiar with power failure, which is always accompanied (陪伴）by the cut-off (终止）of water supply.

参考答案：
1．A
【详解】

2．C
【详解】
句意：当人们去美国旅游时，他们能看到白宫。
考查常识。the Eiffel Tower艾菲尔铁塔；the Opera House悉尼歌剧院；the White House白宫；the River Seine塞纳河。根据常识可知，选项中四个景点，白宫是在美国。故选C。
3．C
【详解】
句意：——他是什么样的人？——他既聪明又幽默。
考查情景交际。What does he like他长什么样；How is he like错误表达；What is he like他是什么样的人；How does he like他觉得怎么样。根据“He is clever and humorous.”可知询问的是他是什么样的人。故选C。
4．B
【详解】
句意：亚历克斯相信如果他多练习的话，他很快就能打得像他的朋友一样好了。
考查副词原级。not so well as不如……一样好；as well as如……一样好；as bad as如……一样差；so bad as错误搭配。根据“if he practices more”可知，多练习就会跟朋友打得一样好，故选B。
5．D
【详解】
句意：旧的灯坏了。 Simon迫不及待地想安装一个新的。
考查动词短语。put up张贴；put in安装。根据“The old light didn’t work.”可知灯坏了，需要安装一个新的，put in符合。can’t wait to do sth表示“迫不及待做某事”。故选D。
6．B
