When            to someone,I usually say, "Pleased to meet you."

introduce

introduced

introducing

am introduced

考查过去分词和省略。句意：当我被介绍给别人时，我通常会说：“很高兴认识你”。根据句子结构可知，本句是when引导的时间状语从句，原句when I am introduced to someone,这里当从句主语与主句主语一致时，并且从句的谓语动词有be这时从句的主语与be同时省略，所以空格处introduced。故选B项。

While we may not be born with a nature talent, we can          for it with hard work.

break up

take up

bring up

make up

考查动词短语辨析。句意：虽然我们可能没有与生俱来的天赋，但我们可以通过努力工作来弥补。A. break up打碎；B.take up 拿起，开始从事；C.bring up提出；D. make up 弥补。根据上文we may not be born with a nature talent可知没有与生俱来的天赋，所以要通过努力工作来弥补。故选D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。

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。

A study shows the students who are engaged in after-school  activities are happier than        who are not.

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。

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 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。

Though ____ the dangers of smoking to their health, smokers still find it hard to give up smoking.

aware of

are aware of

be aware of

考查状语从句的省略：句意：虽然很多经常吸烟的人已经意识到抽烟对他们健康造成了很严重的后果，但是他们仍然发现很难戒烟。Though引导的让步状语从句是省略句，完整的句子是：though smokers are aware of the dangers of smoking to their health。当主从句的主语一致的时候，可以省略从句的主语和be动词，选B

          is a pity           you didn't attend the lecture last night. It was wonderful.

What; that

It; that

What; why

It; why

考查固定句型。句意：很遗憾，你昨晚没去听讲座。那太美妙了。此处为句型“It is a pity that.....”，表示“遗憾的是....", It 作形式主语，that 引导主语从句是真正的主语，从句句意完整，成分齐全，that不做成分，仅起引导作用。故选B项。
