the; a

a; the

a; a

/; a

考查冠词的用法。句意：他们再次选他当队长。职位，官衔前面不加冠词，a second time表示“又一次，再次”；the second time表示第二次（顺序）。故选D项。

---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．

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。

The programme can't be             him because it is beyond his ability.

charged with

in charge of

taken charge of

in the charge of

考查固定短语辨析。句意：这个项目不可能由他负责，因为它超出了他的能力。A. charged with控告；B. in charge of负责，主管；C. taken charge of 接管，负责；D. in the charge of 由......负责。根据because it is beyond his ability及空格后him可知用in the charge of 符合题意。故选D项。

          no bus,we had to walk home.

There was

There being

Because there being

It being

考查独立主格结构。句意：没有车，我不得不走路回家。根据句意，表示“存在”，要用there be 句型；分析句子可知，设空处应用非谓语动词，there be只有主动形式，故用现在分词；因为非谓语动词有自己独立的的主语no bus,所以此处是独立主格结构。故选B项。

Daniel has undertaken to keep the secret, so he won’t tell anyone even though ______.

asked to keep

to be asked

to ask

asked to

考查省略和过去分词。句意：丹尼尔答应保守这个秘密，所以即使问他也不会告诉任何人。此处是even though引导的让步状语从句，从句主语和主句主语都是he，和ask之间是被动关系，相同的主语和be动词可以省略，所以这里是过去分词作状语，且ask sb. to do sth.可以省略与前面相同的部分，只留下动词不定式符号to。故选D。

Really? You        twice the price to buy the book!

paid

took

spent

cost

考查动词词义辨析。句意：真的吗？你付了2倍的价格买这本书！四个动词都有“花费”的意思，但用法不同。pay的主语通常是人，常用结构是 sb pay (money) for sth;take作“花费”时讲常用于固定句型 It takes/took sb (money/time)to do sth做某事花费某人（金钱/时间）；spend的主语通常是人 sb spend...on sth 或sb spend ...(in) doing sth;cost的主语通常是物，sth cost sb (money)意为“某物花了某人多少钱。本题主语是人，结合句意和后文to buy the book，空格处应填pay。故选A项。

How I wish every family         a large house with a beautiful garden!

has

will have

had

had had

考查虚拟语气。句意：我多么希望每个家庭都有一个带着美丽花园的大房子！此句是wish 引导的从句，从句要用虚拟语气，根据wish 可知是与现在事实相反，从句一般用过去时。故选c项。

When Huawei P20 came out,         people couldn't wait to buy one in our town.

thousand

thousands

thousand of

thousands of

考查数词的用法。句意：当华为P20上市时，成千上万的人迫不及待的想在我们镇上买一台。thousnad意思是“千”，其前有具体数词修饰时，用其单数形式；当其前没有具体数词修饰时，用其复数形式，且与of 连用，thousands of“成千上万的”，这里没有具体数词修饰。故选D项。

---Miss Yuan，you promised！

---Well，______.But it was you broke your word first.

so was I

so did I

so I was

so I did

考查强调句。句意：袁女士，你承诺过的！噢，我确实如此。但是是你先失言的。A和B是一类回答，C和D是一类回答。当别人说他自己怎么样，而你有跟他同样的情况时，用AB这样的形式回答。当别人说你怎么样，而你自己也确实是他说的那样时，用CD回答。至于用be动词还是do要根据具体语句定，谓语是be时就用be的相应形式，谓语是实意动词时就用do的相应形式。根据句意，故选D。
