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。

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。

There are 24 solar terms in a year. Grain Rain often starts in Apirl,the           month of the year.

Third

fourth

fifth

sixth

考查数词。句意：一年有24个节气。谷雨通常在一年中的四月开始。空格前有定冠词the,与可数名词单数month，要用序数词。根据

Grain Rain often starts in Apirl，可知四月份是一年之中的第四个月，要用序数词fourth。故选B项。

Mary never does any reading in the evening, ______.

so does John 

John does too

John does not to

neither does John

主句用never，后面的倒装句相应的用nor或者neither，用完全倒装形式表示后者与前者情况相似。

I_____you can finish the exam in two hours.

does believe

do believe

did believed

do believed

句意：---我确实相信两个小时内能完成考试。这里用来强调，在谓语动词前加助动词do表示强调。句子的主语是第一人称，所以位于动词不能用单数，故排除A；did后用动词原形；do后用动词原形，故选B。

Wouldn’t it be         wonderful world if we lived in         harmony with nature?

a; /

the; /

a; the

the; the

考查冠词和短语。句意：如果我们与自然和谐相处，这不是一个美好的世界吗？第一个空中，world表示泛指，应用不定冠词且wonderful发音为以辅音音素开头的单词，故应用a;第二空短语in harmony with表示“与....和谐”，中间不加冠词。故选A项。

When           another country, you should be aware of those differences and respect them.

visit

to visit

visiting

visited

考查非谓语动词。句意：当拜访另一个国家时，你应该知道这些不同之处并尊重它们。分析句子可知，空格处应填非谓语动词和when一起构成时间状语，逻辑主语you和visit之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故选C项。
