Great amounts of water            poured into the river from the factories two years ago.

was

were

has been

have been

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。

I have no one        me. for I am a new comer here.

help

helping

to help

to have helped

考查非谓语动词的用法。句意：我没让人帮我，因为我是新来的。根据句意可知句子空格处非谓语动词作定语，用了have sb /sth to do的结构,意为“让某人做某事”。故选C项。

Only when he returned ________ that the war had ended and the army had come back.

we tell

we told

did we tell

were we told

考查倒装句型。Only放在句首时，句子要用倒装语序；根据句意“我们被告知”可知，此处要用were we told。故答案选D。

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。

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。

_______ by keeping down costs will Power Data hold its advantage over other companies.

Only  

Just 

 Still  

Yet

考查倒装句式。句意：只有通过降低成本，Power Data才能比其它公司更有优势。A只有；B仅仅；C仍然；D然而。Only加副词、介词短语或时间状语，放句首时，用部分倒装。故选A。

There are 24 solar terms in a year. Grain Rain often starts in Apirl,the           month of the year.

Third

fourth

fifth

sixth

考查数词。句意：一年有24个节气。谷雨通常在一年中的四月开始。空格前有定冠词the,与可数名词单数month，要用序数词。根据

Grain Rain often starts in Apirl，可知四月份是一年之中的第四个月，要用序数词fourth。故选B项。

Every evening after dinner, if not ________ from work, I will spend some time walking my dog.

being tired

tiring

tired

to be tired

考查省略句。当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且状语从句中有be动词的时候，可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略，本题if后面省略了I am，句意：每天晚上吃完晚饭以后，如果不是很累，我就会花点时间来遛狗。故C正确。

When           another country, you should be aware of those differences and respect them.

visit

to visit

visiting

visited

考查非谓语动词。句意：当拜访另一个国家时，你应该知道这些不同之处并尊重它们。分析句子可知，空格处应填非谓语动词和when一起构成时间状语，逻辑主语you和visit之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故选C项。
