The wise parents can tell whether their children are telling the truth         they listen to their excuses to wrong deeds.

the first time

every time

for the first time

for every time

考查时间状语从句。句意：每次听孩子对错误行为的辩解，聪明的父母都能分辨出他们是否在说真话。此处引导时间状语从句，表示“每一次” 应用every time。the first time表示“第一次”，与语境不符；for the first time作时间状语，不可引导从句；没有for every time 的表达方式。故选B项。

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。

I don’t want to be       else. I just want to be       .

anybody;myself

somebody;myself

everybody;me

anybody;me

考查代词。句意：我不想成为任何人，我只想做我自己。anybody 任何人，用在否定句和疑问句中；somebody某人，用在肯定句中；everybody每个人；由don’t可以判断此句是否定句，所以用anybody，表示任何人。第二个句子根据I为主语，可知用反身代词myself 我自己，根据句子意为我要做我自己，me是宾格，作宾语。故选A项。

There's no simple solution          this problem.

of

for

to

that

until

before

since

考查固定句型。句意：在线课程已经开始六个月了。A. that 那，那个；B. until直到..... 为止；C. before在.....之前；D. since自.....以来。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定句型“ It is +一段时间+since引导的时间状语从句”，意为“自从......以来已经有多长时间了”，since从句中用非延续性动词。故选D项。

---Who was calling you on the phone just now？

---_______.

That's him

It was Tom

This was someone

Maybe Jim's

考查强调句。句意---刚才谁在电话里面叫你？---他是汤姆。根据题意，答句为强调句。完整形式为it was Tom that call you on the phone just now.缩写形式为It was Tom，故选B。

It was last night ________ I saw the comet.

the time

when

that

which

强调句的结构是：It＋be＋强调部分＋that(who)＋主谓句。强调句的连词只有两个，that和who。当强调的部分是人，且为句子的主语时，才用“who”，其余用that。因此选C。

---I think you are different now.

---Of course，times have changed and________.

so have I

so I have

neither have I

neither I have

肯定的陈述句后，跟so+主语+谓语，表示强调：确实…，其主语与前陈述句的主语相同；肯定的陈述句后，跟so+谓语+主语，表示…也…，其主语与前陈述句的主语不同．根据times have changed，可知对另一个"我"说时代也已经变了，用倒装句，本句是现在完成时，含有助动词have，主语为I，在这里还用助动词have完成，故选A．
