考查时态和主谓一致。句意：两年前，工厂将大量废水排入河中。根据two years ago 可知，句子使用一般过去时。....amounts of修饰不可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式，即谓语动词与amounts保持数的一致。故选B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。

All we need          a piece of advice on how we can improve our time management.

are

is

were

was

考查be动词和时态。句意：我们需要的只是一条关于如何改进时间管理的建议。分析句子可知，说明一般情况应该用一般现在时，这句话的主语是All we need, 所以为主语从句，当主语从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数，所以用is。故选B项。
