答案与解析
I. 单项选择。
1．D。由前句“我刚刚拿到驾照”可知，对方需对其取得的成绩表示祝贺。Congratulations!符合句意。
Good luck意为“祝你好运”；That’s right意为“对啊”；Just so-so意为“一般般”，表示程度一
般，没有那么好。根据句意，故选D。
2．D。turn on打开；turn off关掉；put on穿上；put out扑灭。句意为“上周五大约午夜时分，宾馆里着火
了。幸运的是，火很快被扑灭了”，故选D。 3．D。先行词是the books，为物，用that，故选D。
4．D。as soon as一??就??；after在??之后；until直到??；while当??时候，和??同时。由答语可知，两个动作同时进行，故选D。
5．B。“as + adj.／adv. 原级+as”是固定用法。根据后面的提示，她经常犯错误，可推出“莉莉不如彼得认真”。careless粗心的，careful认真的，故选B。
6．D。work工作，不可数名词；job指职业；task任务、工作，可数名词。由these
可知选择D。
7．A。由上句所说“我昨天错过了篮球赛”可以判断此处表示“遗憾”，故选A项。 8. B。句中的“we looked forward to”是定语从句，修饰the great day，句中缺少谓语动词，根据句意可
知用一般过去时，所以选B。
9．D。由句中的litter(垃圾)可知，应选pick up(捡起，拾起)。句意：一群志愿者每月去绿湖公园捡垃圾，
我们也加入他们好吗?
10．A。根据so he had to share Mary’s可推知，他没有带书包，故选without(没有，无)。
11．B。句意：吸烟对你的健康有害，你最好戒烟。give up意为“放弃”，人称代词作宾语时，人称代词应放 在give与up中间。
12．B。句意：“本看上去很难过!”“他在学校因为发型而受到嘲笑。”第一个空格处应用make fun of的被
动语态形式，故排除C、D两项；because后接从句，because of后接名词(短语)，his haircut为名词 短语，故选B。
13．A。make／let sb. do sth. 为固定搭配，它们用省去to的动词不定式作宾语补足语，可排除B、C两项。
句意：我鼓励他努力学习，尽力考试。他看上去又充满信心了。故选A。 14．B。句意：盗贼把张先生打昏了，把他的钱包拿走了。knock out意为“打昏”，故选B。
15．A。句意：蒂姆在每次考试中都得A，他被认为是我们班最聪明的。be considered to be意为“被认为 是??”。
