2.Most of people think that the sunset is a very beautiful______.
A.sight B.view C.scenery D.show 前三个选项都是表示景色，答案是A,可是我认为C也可以，高手指教下，谢谢！

Answer 1

1.选downtown是没有问题的，非常习惯的习惯用法。
2.这个让我很郁闷。看楼上几位的解释也没有让我心悦诚服的。我觉得答案在A和B之间。scenery 是不可数名词，前面不能加a，所以排除了。
给出的答案是A，但是我不解view为什么不可以。

查了下牛津高阶字典：
Sight：you can use "sight" to mean something that you can see.
Sunset over the lake is a beautiful sight.
view: describes the whole area you can see from a particular place.
From the top of the tower i had a wonderful view of the city.
所以，我觉得view可能特指的是从某处看到的风景全貌，比较开阔的视野；sight应该就比较随便。这个题还是选sight好。

Answer 2

1 答案是D，因为 downtown 本身可以为副词，修饰动词go.它也可以为形容词，但仅用于名次前，the downtown 不能翻译成市中心地区，这种用法是错误的，可以说是downtown area.
2 答案是A，因为scenery是不可数名词，前边不能用不定冠词a 修饰。sight是可数名词，指景象。
另外，sight:something you can see,especially something unusual,beautiful. （尤指特别的，美丽的景象，景物）
view作景色讲时，指the whole area,especially a beautiful place,that you can see from somewhere .隐含从特定地点来看的意思。
所以，根据题目的意思，只是说落日是一种很美的景象，选sight更恰当。

Answer 3

downtown 貌是形容词，字典上反正没说是名词。go downtown 貌似本来就一固定词组...
scenery指风景的总称，sight指景观，名胜，值得看的。
例The sunrise at the seaside was quite a sight to behold.
英语单选经常有这种牵强的题。我们能做的只能记着，下次不错。
If I were you, I would've choosen scenery such as you. Maybe they thought sight is more suitable. We can look down on them, but we have to obey them. Fxxk the senior grade 3.

Answer 4

1.
downtown是副词，而不是名词。
2.scenery指风景，景色，sight"奇观"
