turned

grew

has turned

has become

考查系动词的区别。句意：她的父亲变成了一位作家。Turn，grow，become用作系动词均可表示“变化”，使用时要注意：become主要指一个人暂时性的身心变化或永久性的自然变化，另外还可用于指天气变化和社会的趋势；grow主要表示逐渐变化，强度变化过程；turn后接名词，往往表示意想不到的变化，名词前通常不加冠词。故选D项。

addicted; addict

addictive; addict

addicted; addictive

addictive; addicted

考查形容词辨析。众所周知可卡因是一种强大的令人上瘾的毒品，如果使用者吸了它更容易上瘾得多。addicted上瘾的，着迷的；addict"shi使沉迷；使上瘾”是动词；addictive “使成瘾的，令人沉迷的”。第一空表示“令人上瘾的”用addictive，故排除A，C项；become addicted to “对....上瘾”，第二空填addicted。故选D项。

One of the man holds the view          the book said was right.

that

whether

what that 

that what

考查同位语从句及主语从句。句意：其中一个人认为这本书说的是对的。分析句子可知，the view后面接了一个同位语从句（     the book said was right.），从句句子成分齐全，应使用that 引导，连接词在从句中不做成分，无意义。在同位语从句中又有一个主语从句（     the book said），在主语从句中said 缺少宾语，应用what 引导，指代“......的（事情，东西）”。故选D项。

that

when

which

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。

— Father, you promised!

—Well,____．But it was you who didn't keep your word first．

so was I 

so did I 

so I was 

so I did

考查部分倒装“So + be/情态动词/助动词 + 主语”与表强调的“So + 主语 + be/情态动词/助动词”区别。根据语境“you promised（你许诺过）”和答语“But it was …”可知爸爸回答“我的确许诺过”，且promised是过去时，所以表强调要用助动词did,故选D。句意：——爸爸，你许诺过。——好啦，我的确许诺过。但是是你先没有遵守诺言。
