A. even though B. as soon as
C. as though D. as long as
答案与解析 C 句意:尽管这是他们第一次见面,但他们好像认识很多年了。as tho ugh“好像”,符合句意。even though“即使”; as soon as“一……就……”; as long as“只要”。
3.Great changes ________ in my hometown in the past 30 years and m any villagers are living a happy life today.
A. took place B. were taken place
C. have taken place D. h ave been taken place

A. from B. for
C. of D. over
答案与解析 B forgive sb. for (doing) sth.“宽恕某人(做)某事”。

6.— Where does your little daughter want to go during her holidays?
— She always looks forward to ________ to the Wutai Mountain.
A. take B. taking
C. being taken D. be taken
答案与解析 C look forward to doing sth.中to是介词,后接动词ing形式,又因she与take之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故选C项。
7.Mr. Lee hasn't arrived. But it's already 9 o'clock. He should ________ at any time.
A. bring up B. turn up
C. look up D. pick up
答案与解析 B turn up“出现;到场”,符合句意。bring up“扶养;培养;教育;提出”; look up“查找”; pick up“拣起;拾起;(开车)去接某人”。
8.It seems that Peter's sister is a(n) ________ lady, for she always works more than 12 hours a day.

10.(2013•赣州十二县高一检测)When we worked in the same office, we ________ often have lunch together.

11.Though ________ of the danger of hiking in such weather, the young men still wouldn't give up their plan.
A. reminding B. reminded
C. being reminded D. having reminded
答案与解析 B 由于remind与其逻辑主语the young men之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式。Though reminded of ...相当于状语从句Though they were reminded of ...。
12.— Do you still believe in your roommate?
— Yes. I always hold the belief ________ he is an honest fellow.
A. what B. whether
C. that D. which
答案与解析 C hold the belief that ...表示“相信……”, that引导同位语从句。
13.After 10 years of hard work, the lady has turned into a movie star, ________ she dreamed of becoming in her childhood.
A. whose B. what
C. that D. which
答案与解析 D 先行词是movie star,引导词需在定语从句中充当becoming的宾语,应用which或that; 从句与主句间有逗号分隔,是非限制性定语从句,所以只能用which。
14.Christmas used to be a western festival, but now it ________ by people all around the world.
A. is celebrated B. is to celebrate
C. is celebrating D. has been celebrated
答案与解析 A 主语it(指代Christmas)是celebrate所表示动作的承受者,故用被动语态;这里用一般现在时表示经常性、习惯性的动作。
15.— Hello, may I speak to Jack?
— ________. May I take a message?
A. Hold on, please
B. I'll ring him later
C. Sorry, he isn't here now
D. Just a moment, please
答案与解析 C 从答语的后半部分May I take a mess age?可知Jack当时不在,不能接电话。A、D项表示“请稍等一下”,B项表示“我再打给他”,均与句意不符,故只有C项符合句意。
