posting

考查不定式作宾语。句意：你经过邮局时别忘了替我寄这封信。forget to do sth忘记要做某事；forget doing sth 忘记做过某事。根据句意表示事情已经发生。故选B项。

If you want to catch the first bus you'd better         for the bus station immediately.

set up

set about

set down

set off

考查动词短语辨析。句意：如果你想赶上第一班公交车，你最好马上动身去车站。A. set up建立；B. set about开始做.....;C. set down 记下；D. set off 出发，动身。结合上文If you want to catch the first bus you'd better可知此处指“动身，出发”，应用set off。故选D项。

The law           equal rights for men and women.

permits

confirms

persevers

guarantees

考查动词辨析。句意：这个法律确保了男女权利平等。A.permit允许；B.confirm证实，证明；C.persever坚持；D.guarantee保证，担保。分析句意可知，空格处为动词做谓语，其主语为the law,为单数则谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。又因the law作用是保证公平。故选D项。

The salesman scolded the girl caught         and let her off.

to have stolen

to be stealing

to steal

stealing

考查非谓语动词。句意：这个销售员责备了被抓住正在偷东西的女孩，然后，让她走了。分析句子结构，caught是过去分词作定语，修饰前面的名词 the girl,"女孩"和"偷东西"之间是主动关系，用现在分词作宾语补足语，构成catch sb doing sth结构。意为抓住某人正在做某事。故选D项。

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。

It is said that railway station is now         large as What it was.

as twice

twice as

twice much

much twice

考查倍数表达法。句意：据说火车站现在是原来的两倍大。倍数的基本结构一般为“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。联系下文large as，此处用twice as large as 表示“是.....的两倍大”。故选B项。

Writing out all the invitations by hand was more time-consuing than we             .

will except

are  excepting

except

had excepted

考查时态。句意：手工写下所有的邀请函要比我们预料的花去更多的时间。根据句意可知我们预料是在实际上写之前发生的，而本句中实际写花去的时间使用了过去时was，所以expect用过去完成时。故D项正确。

Suddenly a good idea occurred to her, but she couldn't find any paper           .

 to write

to write on

written

writing on

考查了非谓语动词。句意：她突然有了一个好主意，但是她找不到纸来写下它。根据句意可知，这里用不定式表目的，而且固定搭配是write sth on the paper。故选B项。
