".Cwhere=inwhich,“where....,thereare....“指"哪儿有...，就有...".在本句中，where引导地点状语.Bdistinguishrightfromwrong的意思是''分清是非"，是固定搭配。所以B是正确答案。A的意思是''感觉、觉察“，C的意思是''看到、发现“，D的意思是''观察”均不符合题意。C wouldrather+句子（过去时）（虚拟语气）：I'dratheryoudidn’ttellanyonewhatIsaid.你最好别告诉任何人我所说的话。I'dratheryoucamewithme.你还是和我一起来吧。Bexcept和exceptfor都是介词，后面接短语。而exceptthat和exceptwhen后面接宾语从句。that在从句中只起连接作用。而when在从句中做状语。如：Sheknewnothingabouthisjourneyexceptthathewaslikelytobeawayforthreemonths.关于他们的旅行她不清楚，只知道他大概要离开三个月。（that在宾语从句中只起连接作用）Hewasamanoffinecharacterinallpointsexceptthathewasrathertimid.他在各方面都很好，除了有点胆小。而本句要选择exceptwhen,因为when在从句中做状语。C-lookinto”的意思是''调查"，本句的意思是''我保证一到那就调查这件事情"。''lookfor”：寻找。Willyouhelpmelookformygloves?你能帮我寻找我的手套吗？100kin:朝里面看。IlookedinmypurseanddiscoveredI'donlygotafivepoundnote.我朝钱包里一看，发现只有一张五英镑的钞票。100kafter:照顾、照看。Hehaslookedafterhiselderlyparentsformanyyears.他照料年迈的父母已经多年了。Dmakeout有''辨认出、听出”的意思。又如：Itwasdifficulttomakeoutwhatwassaidovertheloudspeakerinthesquare.很难听清楚广场上的扩音喇叭里在说什么。makefor:走向，朝...前进。It'slate,we'dbettermakeforhome.时间不早了，我们最好赶快回家。Makeforthebeach!向海滩前进！makesure:设法保证。Hewentroundmakingsurethatallthewindowswereclosed.他巡视了一遍，看看所有的窗户是否都已关上。makeover:翻新、改造。Thehousehasbeenmadeoverintoaschool.房屋已经改成一所学校。Humannaturecan'tbemadeoversoeasily.人性并非那么容易改变的。B这句话的意思是：我到处找食用油，但是一点也没有找到.注意little一点，一些；虽然也用于修饰不可数名词，但是表达否定含义.它前面有一个转折词but,说明后句与前句的关系，结果应该是与找油的目的相反的含义，找了，但是没有找到.所以用B.A 我们刚坐下就发现是该走的时间了.nosooner..…than……：一……就……固定结构，引起句子倒装.这种形式会经常考到.B 繁重的工作之后他感到很累，就躺到床上睡了.现在分词形式做伴随状语.A byfar强调比较级或最高级，在强调比较级时，比较级前也要用the.Dfeellikedoingsth.意为"想做某事".A 你将很快适应这里的气候，然后气温的变化就不会影响你了.注意：beusedtosth/doingsth和getusedtosth./dointsth.都表示"习惯于 "Bexceptfor'除了..•外”，前后不属于同一性质，常用来表示可惜或者美中不足的语气，例如，本题前半部分讲到的是"你的写作发好"，而后半部分讲到"一些拼写错误"，前后显然不属于同一性质；except是"除了...之外"，前后属于同一，性质；besides,inadditionto都指"除了...，还有...".D 新思想往往要到若干年后才能被完全接受.新思想是被接受的，所以要用被动形式，故D选项正确.C 我哥哥在加利福尼亚度假，我真希望她在这儿，这样他就能帮我修我的车了。Wish后面用虚拟语气，与现在事实相反，用一般过去式。B 应改为：going,介词后面的动词用其ing形式，为伴随情况。C应把not去掉。因为hardly这个单词本身就含有否定的意义。A 应改为：whatever.不管一个人的社会角色是什么，记着努力工作和为人民服务都是应该的。D 在美国，男女关系非常处得非常近甚至于长期居住在一起，但是也无意考虑结婚。这里marry是及物动词，后面没有接宾语.故D改为：tobemarried.A 这些学生希望被提供工作机会，应该用被动语态。故A项应改为tobeoffered.C 应改为：getsused.B 这句话是说：不止一次地，我发现自己尽管提前已经准备了但到时个还是怀疑自己的决定。这里doubt不能用原
