1. —Waiter!
—
—I can’t eat this. It’s too salty.
A. Yes, sir? B. What?
C. All right? D. Pardon?
选A。这是在餐馆里的会话。“Yes, sir?”意为“先生，什么事?”，yes用升调。
2. I the hobby of fishing as a child.
A. built up B. set up
C. kept up D. took up
选D。本题主要考查短语动词意义的区别。built up 意为“树立，逐步建立”;set up意为“树立(榜样);创立;建立”;kept up 意为“坚持;继续;使不低落”; took up 意为“拿起;吸收;从事”。
3. Jane’s pale face suggested that she ill, and her parents suggested that she medical examination.
A. be; should have B. was; have
C. should be; have D. was; has
选B。当动词suggest作“建议”解时，后面的宾语从句用“(should) + 动词原形”;作“暗示;表明”解时用陈述语气。
4. The poet and pianist is going to give us a talk this afternoon.
A. a B. the C. 不填 D. an
选C。当and 并列的是同一事物、同一人或同一概念时，其后面的名词前不用冠词。若在pianist前加the，则是指the poet 和the pianist 两个人，而题目中的the poet and pianist 是指一个人，即这个人即是诗人又是钢琴家。
5. —Hold the ladder for me!
—That’s .
A. all B. it C. all right D. complete
选B。本题我们极易错选A或C。That’s all 意思是“就这些”，表示讲话或文章的结束，而That’s all right 意思是“行;可以;没关系”。That’s it 为固定搭配，意思是“这正是所需要的”。
6. —Have you nearly finished?
— , we have just begun.
A. Above all B. After all
C. On the contrary D. On the other hand
选C。本题上文说“你们差不多快做完了吧?”，下文说“恰好相反，我们才刚刚开始哩”。
7. I think you must be mistaken about seeing him at the theatre; I’m sure he abroad all week.
A. is B. was C. has been D. had been
选C。用现在完成时表示影响或结果，他整个星期都在国外，所以“你说你在剧院见到他，你一定是搞错了。”
8. It knowledge is power, Sir Francis Bacon wrote in 1579, perhaps creativity ca be described as the ability to use that power.
A. what; and B. as; then
C. which; and D. that; then
选B。as意为“像”，引起状语从句;由句子意义可知，then为“那么”之意。
9. SARS is an illness that can result in death unless left in time.
A. to treat B. treating
C. treated D. treat
选C。本句中的treat 充当主语补足语，且与主语SARS之间为被动关系，故应选择过去分词。
10. On the contrary, I think it is Truman, you, to blame.
A. more than; are B. less than; who are
C. rather than; that is D. rather than; is
选C。本题为一强调句式，所以第二空必须用who 或that 引导一个从句，因而可排除A项和D项;rather than 意为“而不是”。
