All we need          a piece of advice on how we can improve our time management.

are

is

were

was

考查be动词和时态。句意：我们需要的只是一条关于如何改进时间管理的建议。分析句子可知，说明一般情况应该用一般现在时，这句话的主语是All we need, 所以为主语从句，当主语从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数，所以用is。故选B项。

— Is it my age ________the boss minds?
—I’m afraid so. He will consider ________ necessary to have an experienced assistant.

which；it

that；it

which；that

that；that

考查强调句型和it的用法。第一空that与it is构成强调句型。第二空it是一个形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式to have an experienced assistant，选B。

As a matter of fact,           beauty of           nature there made an excellent impression on me.

a; the; /

a; the; the

the; the; /

a; /; the

考察冠词。句意：事实上，那里的自然之美给我留下了极好的印象。as a matter of fact “ 事实上”，为固定短语。第二个空表示特指，用定冠词the。Nature表示“大自然，自然界”时，前面一般不加冠词。故选A项。

He punished the children          their carelessness         making them pay for the damage.

by; for

with; by

for; by

about; with

考查介词。句意：他因为孩子们的粗心惩罚他们赔偿损失。根据句意可知：“their carelessness"表示他们被惩罚的原因，需用介词for表原因。"making them pay for the damage"表示他们被惩罚的方式，需用介词by表方式。故选C项。

The small car can't         a large family inside.

suit

press

collect

fit

考查动词词义辨析。句意：这辆小汽车装不下一大家子人。A.suit 相配，合身；B.press压；C.collect 收集；D. fit合适；容纳。suit表示尺寸和大小方面适合；此处表示小汽车容纳不下一大家子人。故选D项。
