worry意为“别担心”。四个选项中，只有congratulations符合语境。故答案选b。2选b句意：据说二氧化碳正以先前所担忧的两倍的速度加热着地球。be said to do意为“据说”，carbon dioxide与heat之间是主谓关系，而且heat这一动作与谓语动词动作同时发生，所以用不定式的进行式。3选b分析句子成分可知，句中的show与we之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系，且根据题中的“we then were taken to a building”可知，应用完成被动式，故选b。4选b由语境可知，购买iphone 5的动作发生在去香港期间，发生在过去，因此用一般过去时。5选a第一空后的senior citizens为泛指复数名词，其前用零冠词，be home to为固定用法，意为“之乡”。故选a。6选a句意：我真的很担心你。你不该不打声招呼就离开家。be anxious about “为担心”。eager“渴望的”；worrying“令人担忧的”；sure“肯定的”。7选d句意：按照我们校长的观点，应该鼓励所有的儿童充分发挥他们的潜能。consequence“结果；后果”；entertainment“娱乐；消遣”；presentation“提供；展示”；potential“潜力”。8选b名词短语their lessons和动词finish之间是被动完成关系，故用过去分词finished。9选a句意：“周五前你能完成报告吗？”“我不能保证什么，但是我会尽最大努力的。”guarantee“保证；担保”；transform“改变；转换”；prepare“准备”；say“说”。此处表达不能向对方保证会做到某事，故选a项。10选d句意：在植物园，我们会发现从大树到小花等各种各样的植物。a variety of“各种各样的”；a species of“一种”；b项变成group才正确；an amount of修饰不可数名词。11选a句意：该研究缺乏可靠的证据，因此它的结论值得怀疑。由句意可知，solid符合语境，意为“可靠的；可信赖的”。fierce“激烈的”；severe“严重的”；potential“潜在的”。12选c句意：现在食品安全是一个大的问题，没有人能够保证所有
