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。

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。

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。
