dcant答案adont have to不必；oughtnt to不应当；mustnt禁止，不允许；cant不可能。答语句意：除了与父母待在一起和做你自己以外，你不必做任何事情。因此a项符合题意。3do you need any help, lucy?yes.the job is _i could do myself.aless than bmore thancno more than dnot more than答案b本题考查形容词比较级的用法。less than少于，亚于；more than多于，超过；no more than只不过；not more than至多，不多于。句意：这工作超出了我力所能及的范围。more than后接带有情态动词的从句，指“(某事)超出了的范围”，符合题意。4there were a lot of people standing at the door

done“过去可能做过”。而must have done“过去肯定做过”，只能用于肯定陈述句；should have done“本应该做过(而事实上没做)”，would have done只能用于虚拟语气。9what do you think of the performance today?great！_but a musical genius could perform so successfully.aall bnonecanybody deverybody答案b本题考查代词的应用。none but.“除之外没有别人”，因此肯定了but后的词a musical genius“音乐天才”。10though he started late, mr.guo played the piano as well as, if _， miss liu.anot better than bnot bettercno better than dno better答案a本题考查形容词、副词的比较级。由比较级better可知，miss liu前应有than, 排除b、d两项。not better than“不比好”，no better than“跟一样都不好”。由句意可知应选not better than。.阅读理解athere are hundreds of funny and strange expressions in the english language.a lot of them include country names or nationalities, and many have historic beginnings.take these for example：the dutch is the target of most english expressions about nationalities.why are there so many jokes about the dutch in english？and what do these expressions mean？in the 17th and early 18th centuries, there were three wars between the british and the dutch, and dutch became a bad word.so double dutch means something that has no meaning or is impossible to understand.a dutch uncle is someone who gives much stronger advice than they need to be.there are later expressions, which are funnier, like to go dutch, which is nowadays a popular expression.it means to pay for your part of a bill.im a dutchman is another commonly used expression.this means not being able to believe something.an expression with a similar meaning to double dutch is its all greek to me, which means i dont understand.if you take french leave, you are not present or leave somewhere without permission.for example, you could take french leave from a classroom or the place where you work.this expression is from the 18th century when french people left parties without saying goodbye to the host or hostess.there are chinese whispers, which mean confused messages.this describes the fact that a message can often change as it is passed from the first world war when foreigners were often confused by the chinese language.many people find english expressions confusing, but now that you know about some of them, you can easily have fun finding out many more funny english expressions.1what is the best title for the passage?aconfusing english expressionsbexpressions about dutchcstrange and ridiculous expressionsdfunny expressions about nationalities答案d第一段为该篇文章的主题段，讲到英语中有一些和国家、民族及历史渊源相关的有趣表达。故选d项。2which of the following statements is true according to the passage?anowadays expressions about dutch are good in meaning.bthe british people are good at playing jokes on the dutch.cdutch is not a good word because of the wars against the british.dif you say “im a dutchman”， it means you can understand what you heard.答案c由第二段可知“dutch变成一个不好的词是因为在17世纪和18世纪早期，荷兰和英国爆发了三次战争”，因此c项正确。“后来带有dutch的英语表达变得更有趣”。但未提及“含有dutch的表达在意义上是好或坏。”可知a项不正确。“im a dutchman means not being able to believe sth”可知d项不正确。3we can infer “dutch courage”probably has _meaning.apositive bnegativecfriendly dhumorous答案b从“dutch became a bad word.”可知b项正确4three expressions mentioned above have similar meanings except_.adouble dutch bits all greek to mecfrench leave dchinese whispers答案c第三段中提到french leave意为“不辞而别”，而其余三项均有“不理解或不知道”之义。ba 13yearold chinese girl, fan yi (nancy), who had her primary education in the us, recently published her first fairy
