1.The traffic problem we are looking forward to seeing _____ should have attracted the local government’s attention.
A. solving B. solve
C. to solve D. solved
选D。本题主要考查学生分析句子的成分和掌握结构的能力。we are looking forward to seeing是定语从句修饰先行词the traffic problem, 同时充当seeing的宾语，而用solved作宾补，表示被动，即see the traffic problem solved。
2. — He ought to have been warned of the danger.
— ______, but he just wouldn’t listen to me.
A. So ought he B. So he was
C. So was he D. So he had
选B。ought to have been warned of表示“本应该被告诫有危险”，是对过去动作的推测，因此回答也应该用过去时。A的构成形式不对。而So he was必须与第一句谓语动词have been一致。
3.The cruelty of the terrorists towards the two Chinese engineers in Pakistan and _____ of the terrorists towards America in September 11, filled everyone with horror.
A. those B. that C. one D. it
选B。在形成对比时，为了避免与前面可数名词单数或不可数名词的重复一般要用that替代。
4. It was not until she had arrived home _____ her appointment with the doctor.
A. did she remember B. that she remembered
C. when she remembered D. had she remembered
选B。本题考查对not until从句的强调句型，其结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that部分。
4. — These boxes are too heavy for me to move.
— Here, I’ll give you a hand ____ them.

. 选C。答语中的 “them” 指前一句中的 “boxes”,而不指任何人,give sb. a hand with sth/in (at) doing sth.意为“帮某人做某事”。
5. Help has already come from them, but the aid is ____ near what we expected.
A. everywhere B. somewhere
C. anywhere D. nowhere
选D。nowhere near是一个固定短语,意为“远不是”。
6.— Would you like to go to the cinema with me this evening?
— I’d like to, but I won’t be free tonight. Let’s make ____ some other day.
A. it B. them C. you D. this
选A。make it表示“按时到达某处(目的地);成功”。又如:A: You have just 15 minutes to get your train.(你只有15分钟时间去赶乘这班火车了。) B: All right, I guess I can make it.(没关系,我想我赶得上。)
7. You have made a few spelling mistakes in your composition, but ____, it is fairly good.
A. on the whole B. generally speaking
C. above all D. on one hand
选A。on the whole意为“大体上,总体上”;generally speaking意思是“一般而言”;above all意思是“尤其是”;而on one hand意思是“一方面”，经常与on the other (hand)连用。
8. I hear Mr. Smith was writing a story last year and he still ____.

9. — Why do you want the book so much?

10. ____ that they are inexperienced, they have done a good job.
A. Giving B. To give C. Given D. If given
