The sunlight is white and blinding,           hard-edged shadows on the ground.

throwing

being thrown

to throw

to be thrown

考查非谓语动词。句意：阳光炽白炫目，在地上投下浓重的阴影。主语The sunlight和throw是主动关系，因此要用现在分词表主动，此处是现在分词短语作状语。故选A项。

it was at 10 pm yesterday______he came home from work.

that

when

which

what

考查强调句。句意：昨天晚上10点他下班回家。考查it+be+强调部分+that+句子，选A。

I don’t want to be       else. I just want to be       .

anybody;myself

somebody;myself

everybody;me

anybody;me

考查代词。句意：我不想成为任何人，我只想做我自己。anybody 任何人，用在否定句和疑问句中；somebody某人，用在肯定句中；everybody每个人；由don’t可以判断此句是否定句，所以用anybody，表示任何人。第二个句子根据I为主语，可知用反身代词myself 我自己，根据句子意为我要做我自己，me是宾格，作宾语。故选A项。

He          and wept when he heard the news.

took down

put down

turned down

broke down

考查动词短语辨析。句意：当他听到这个消息时，整个人都崩溃了并哭起来。A. took down  记下；B.put down记下；C.turned down调小，拒绝；D.broke down崩溃，坏掉。根据wept 可知此处应填"broke down"符合语境。故选D项。

— Father, you promised!

—Well,____．But it was you who didn't keep your word first．

so was I 

so did I 

so I was 

so I did

考查部分倒装“So + be/情态动词/助动词 + 主语”与表强调的“So + 主语 + be/情态动词/助动词”区别。根据语境“you promised（你许诺过）”和答语“But it was …”可知爸爸回答“我的确许诺过”，且promised是过去时，所以表强调要用助动词did,故选D。句意：——爸爸，你许诺过。——好啦，我的确许诺过。但是是你先没有遵守诺言。
