答案 D [句意：那个男孩不仅晚到了，而且还忘了带他的书。not only放在句首时，句子要倒装，因此排除A、B两项；另外，C项的show out意思是“领……回去”，不合句意。D项 show up意思是“出现”，符合句意。]
4．Once upon a time there was a poor old fisherman，in front of whose house________. A．a river lay B．did a river lie C．a river did lie D．lay a river

答案 C [考查状语从句。 句意：动画片《喜羊羊与灰太狼》之所以如此吸引孩子是因
2
为它很好地迎合了他们的口味。从句意看，主从句之间为因果关系，故用连词because。] 7．Nowadays some parents are __________about their children's health，for their children have to do so much homework every day. A．happy B．satisfied C．concerned D．curious
答案 C [be concerned about的意思是“担心”，即父母担心孩子们的健康。]

答案 D [in good condition意思是“状况良好”，即房子状况良好。]
10．The photo________the memory of the days in Hangzhou，when he was looked after attentively by the peasant.
A．brought in B．brought back C．brought on D．brought about
答案 B [bring in“带来”；bring back“拿回来，使回忆起，使恢复”；bring on“引起，导致，使发展；提出”；bring about“使发生，致使”。根据句子内容可知，B项正确，构成短语bring back the memory，意思是“使回忆起……”。其他选项不符合语境。] 11．It rained for two weeks on end，completely ________our holiday. A．ruined B．to ruin C．ruining D．was ruined
答案 C [句意：大雨连续不停地下了两周，完全毁了我们的假期。ruining现在分词作状语，表结果。]
12．At the meeting place of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River ________，one of the ten largest cities in China.
