九1.Not until Dec. 2020 _ caught by the US soldiers, and it was a great victory for the USA.A. was Saddam HusseinB. Saddam Hussein wasC. had Saddam Hussein beenD. Saddam Hussein had been选A。 not until位于句首时，句子要部分倒装。而时间状语Dec. 2020暗示了要用一般过去时，故此只能选A。2. Be careful with such things. If you _, youll drop them.A. dont B. arent C. wont D. do选B。本题考查学生运用省略语法的做题能力。 完整的句子为：If you arent (careful)，youll drop them. 另外，条件状语从句用现在时表将来，所以排除了wont。3. Excuse me! _ How can I get to the nearest post office?A. Yes? B. Thats OK.C. Whats wrong? D. Pardon?选A。由于Excuse me没有说明具体事情，所以就被反问“Yes?”“什么事？”4. _ a fine day, Shenzhou VI will be launched on time according to its planned time.A. Being B. It being C. To be D. It is选B。 本题考查独立主格结构。前一分句和后一分句在逻辑上存在因果关系，可以排除答案D。因为前面的分词的逻辑主语不可能是后面一个分句的逻辑主语，故前一分句要有一个逻辑主语it表示天气。5. -Whats the chief _ of the world this year?-I think the Twin- Tower was destroyed.A. business B. matter C. event D. affair选C。 event 表示比较重要的事件；business表示一般性的事物，如经营方面的事情或生意等，也可以构成一定的短语，如on business, get down to business等。matter指一般的需要解决的事情;affair指重大的国际、国内事物，经常用复数。6.

It will be five years _ we meet again.A. since B. after C. before D. when选C。 该题意为 “ 要过五年我们才能再见面”。如果选A, since 从句中常用动词的过去式,这是个终止动词表延续的句型。本句句型是 “ It will be +时间段+before” 从句。 意为 “ 要过多久才.” 。9. Did you scold him for his mistake? Yes, but _ it.A. Id rather not doB. Id better not doC. Id rather not have doneD. Id better have not done选C。would rather接完成式表示对已发生的事情感到自责，具有虚拟的语气，其否定式在rather后加not。10. He often keeps English _ _,A. week; tidily B. weekly; orderly C. the week; tidy D. weeks; friendly选B。English weekly指英语周报，其中weekly为名词；keep意思是“使处于某种状态”，故此应该使用形容词作宾补，结合句意，应该是“他的英语周报报纸经常保存的井井有条”。11. Thank you for the trouble me with the work.A. having; helping B. taking; helpingC. taking; to help D. having; to help选C。take the trouble to do意思是“不辞辛苦地做”。12.
