ones

those

these

them

考查代词。句意：一项研究表明，参加课外活动的学生比不参加课外活动的学生更开心。空格处代词与the students是对应关系，可以用the ones 或者those替代。“them”指代前面提到的复数名词，不能与the students形成对应关系，“these”一般不用定语从句修饰。故选B项。

"Society" is a(n)              term;it may mean much or nothing.

autonomous

ambiguous

fragrant

fragile

考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“社会”是一个模棱两可的词；它可能意味着很多，也可能没有意义。autonmous 自治的；ambiguous模棱两可的；fragrant芳香的；fragile脆弱的。结合后文it may mean much or nothing可知，空格处填ambiguous模棱两可的。故选B项。

We’ll make the final decision on our scheme. ______ you change your mind, please inform us as soon as possible.

Should

Were

Would

Had

考查虚拟语气的省略。句意：我们将对我们的计划做最后决定。如果你改变主意，请尽快通知我们。根据语境，此处用虚拟语气，表示与将来相反，从句用should+动词原形，省略if，should提前，陈述句是：If you should change your mind……。故选A。

Jenny was very sad over the loss of  the photos she had shot in Canada,          this was a memory she especially treasured.

as

if

when

where

考查连词辨析。句意：珍妮对失去她在加拿大拍摄的照片感到非常悲伤，因为这是她特别珍视的记忆。as 引导原因状语从句，表示“由于”；if“如果”；when“当......什么时候”；where“在哪里”。根据句意，前后文是因果关系，故选A项。

Look! There is         over there. Do you know him?

a 8-year-old boy

an 8-year-old boy

a 8-years old boy

an 8-years old boy

考查形容词和冠词。句意：看！那边有一个8岁的男孩。你认识他吗？空格处为复合形容词作定语，其基本构成形式是：数词+名词（单数）+形容词，并且要用连字符连接，排除C和D项；8发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an修饰。故选B项。

The most important promises we must keep are          we make to ourselves.

ones

those

these

them

考查代词。句意：我们必须遵守的最重要的承诺就是我们对自己做出的承诺。A. ones泛指上文提到的可数名词复数；B. those特指上文提到的可数名词复数；C. these这些；D.them他们。分析句子可知，为we must 是定语从句，修饰The most important promises，是句子的主语；be动词后缺少表演，we make to ourselves是定语从句，修饰空格处。根据句意，此处指上文提到的promises,由定语从句修饰表示特指，故用 those。故选B项。
