Look! There is         over there. Do you know him?

a 8-year-old boy

an 8-year-old boy

a 8-years old boy

an 8-years old boy

考查形容词和冠词。句意：看！那边有一个8岁的男孩。你认识他吗？空格处为复合形容词作定语，其基本构成形式是：数词+名词（单数）+形容词，并且要用连字符连接，排除C和D项；8发音以元音音素开头，需用不定冠词an修饰。故选B项。

---My mother hardly watches any sports shows.

---_____.

So do mine

So does mine

Neither do mine

Neither does mine

“so＋助动词（情态动词或连系动词）＋另一主语”，此句型是主谓倒装结构，可以表示前面的情况也适用于后者，使用该句型需要注意以几个方面的问题： 1．该句型只能用于肯定句，不能用于否定句：如果前句是否定句，则要用“neither ／nor ＋助动词＋主语”。 2．句型中的主语与上文中的主语是不同的两个主语3．句型中助动词，包括连系动词和情态动词的时态要和上句中谓语动词的时态相一致。根据上文,我母亲几乎从来不看体育节目.——我的（母亲）也是。结合语境可知下文指的是另一个人的母亲，故用名词性物主代词做主语，上文hardly表示否定含义，故下文用否定形式，选D。

______about wild plants that they decided to make a trip to Madagascar for further research.

So curious the couple was

        bothers me is that I can't keep my mind on the task, but on personal gains or losses.

考查主语从句连接词。句意：困扰我的是我不能专注于任务，而是专注于个人得失。此处为主语从句，从句中缺少主语，结合句意表示“困扰我的是”应用what。故选A项。

It's really           to know that there're only seven bones in giraffes' long necks.

amazingly

amazed

amazing

amazement

考查形容词辨析。句意：知道长颈鹿的长脖子上只有7块骨头，真是令人惊讶。分析句子结构可知，is是系动词，空格处需填形容词作表语。主语是It,指物，表示“令人惊讶的”，应填amazing。故选C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。
