--What is happening in that new area?

---New houses          over there.

are built

are building

have built

are being built

考查时态和语态。句意：在那个新区域里发生什么事情了？那儿建起来许多新的大楼。根据第一句时态is happening 可知，时态用现在进行时，故第二句也要用现在进行时，主语 houses与build 建立之间是被动关系，故用现在进行时的被动语态（am/is/are being done），此处为are being built，故选D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。

---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．

He punished the children          their carelessness         making them pay for the damage.

by; for

with; by

for; by

about; with

考查介词。句意：他因为孩子们的粗心惩罚他们赔偿损失。根据句意可知：“their carelessness"表示他们被惩罚的原因，需用介词for表原因。"making them pay for the damage"表示他们被惩罚的方式，需用介词by表方式。故选C项。

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。
