The law           equal rights for men and women.

permits

confirms

persevers

guarantees

考查动词辨析。句意：这个法律确保了男女权利平等。A.permit允许；B.confirm证实，证明；C.persever坚持；D.guarantee保证，担保。分析句意可知，空格处为动词做谓语，其主语为the law,为单数则谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。又因the law作用是保证公平。故选D项。

What some people regard as a         is seen as a plus by many others.

duty

drawback

faith

考查名词词义辨析。句意：一些人认为是一个缺点，而其他许多人则认为这是一个优点。A.duty责任；B.drawback缺点； C. failure 失败；D. faith信念。根据空后plus“优点”可知，空处需用drawback“缺点”与之对应。故选B项。

考察代词。句意：这条信息告诉我们在加拿大的教育方式和在中国的教育方式很不一样。前后比较的是教育方式，用that 指代the+名词。A. one 是泛指一个，B.it 指的是同一个东西，D. those指代the +名词复数。故选C项。

Don't forget            the letter for me when you pass  by the post office.

post

to post

考查不定式作宾语。句意：你经过邮局时别忘了替我寄这封信。forget to do sth忘记要做某事；forget doing sth 忘记做过某事。根据句意表示事情已经发生。故选B项。

---What language is that guy speaking？I can hardly catch a single word!

---_________He’s from India,so I guess it is Hindi.

Neither I can

Neither can I

So I can

So can I

so can I 表示 我也是这样，前一个分句是肯定句的时候用，前后主语不指同一个人； neither can I 我也不…，前一个分句是否定句的时候用，so I can主要用于加强语气，其意为"的确如此、确实如此"前后句的主语指的是同一个人或物．根据"I can hardly catch a single word!"可知回答为否定语气。

Writing out all the invitations by hand was more time-consuing than we             .

will except

are  excepting

except

had excepted

考查时态。句意：手工写下所有的邀请函要比我们预料的花去更多的时间。根据句意可知我们预料是在实际上写之前发生的，而本句中实际写花去的时间使用了过去时was，所以expect用过去完成时。故D项正确。

Mary never does any reading in the evening, ______.

so does John 

John does too

John does not to

主句用never，后面的倒装句相应的用nor或者neither，用完全倒装形式表示后者与前者情况相似。
