A．the; the; / C．/; the; a
B．a; /; a D．a; /; /
解析：选B 句意：这个故事表明掌握急救知识确实能起很大的作用。knowledge是不可数名词，一般前面不能加不定冠词，但a knowledge of sth.“掌握某方面的知识”，前面需加a；first aid前面不用加冠词；make a difference“有影响，有关系”，是固定短语，故选B项。

解析：选B 考查情景交际。句意：“我能试一下这个夹克吗？”“当然可以，但是我觉得你穿着太大了。”That all depends“视情况而定”；By all means“一定，当然可以”；With pleasure“乐意效劳”；You're welcome“不客气”。根据句意可知选B。

6．________ your timely help, I wouldn't have finished the task on time. A．But for C．As for
B．Except for D．For
解析：选A 句意：要不是你的及时帮助，我就不会按时完成这项任务。根据后半句中wouldn't have finished可知是对过去发生的事情的假设，能表示假设的只有but for，意思是“要不是”，相当于if it hadn't been for ...。故答案为A。
7．(2019·苏北四市模拟)—Andrey really brightens up when he sees his girl. She looks so cute.

9．Only when you take great delight in reading and begin reading good books ________ the pleasure of reading.
A．do you taste C．you will taste
B．you taste D．will you taste
解析：选D 考查倒装。当“only＋状语”位于句首时，其后句子要用部分倒装，故排除B、C两项。此处是when引导的时间状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，即主句用将来时，故D项正确。
10．In order to make contributions to the protection of the environment, the company encourages its workforce to make the switch to ________ means of transportation such as

A．how C．why
B．what D．where
