let down

turned down

picked up

cheered up

考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们打得很好，但我觉得有一个队员在场上没有尽最大努力，让整个球队失望了。A. let down 使失望，放下；B. turned down 拒绝，调小；C. picked up捡起，接；D. cheered up使兴奋，振奋。结合句意可知，“有一个队员在场上没有尽最大努力”，所以“我们”感到失望。故选A项。

So difficult __________ it to work out the problem that I decided to ask Tom for advice.

 I did find 

did I find

 I have found  

have I found

句子使用的基本句式为so…that…结构。按英语语法，当该结构的so…置于句首时，其后的句子(主句)要用倒装语序，如：So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him. 他讲话声音那么大，隔壁屋里的人都听得见。

---Shall we have a talk with her tonight?

---There is no        talking to her. She will never listen.

good

value

point

worth

考查名词词义辨析。句意：---我们今晚要和她谈谈吗？ ---和她谈话没有意义，她不会听。A.good 好处  ； B.value 价值；C.point要点；D.worth价值。根据句意可知可知，此处是固定表达There  is no point (in) doing sth 做某事没有意义。故选C项。

Daniel has undertaken to keep the secret, so he won’t tell anyone even though ______.

asked to keep

to be asked

to ask

asked to

考查省略和过去分词。句意：丹尼尔答应保守这个秘密，所以即使问他也不会告诉任何人。此处是even though引导的让步状语从句，从句主语和主句主语都是he，和ask之间是被动关系，相同的主语和be动词可以省略，所以这里是过去分词作状语，且ask sb. to do sth.可以省略与前面相同的部分，只留下动词不定式符号to。故选D。

Only when he returned ________ that the war had ended and the army had come back.

we tell

we told

did we tell

were we told

考查倒装句型。Only放在句首时，句子要用倒装语序；根据句意“我们被告知”可知，此处要用were we told。故答案选D。
