() 2.We should never put off(拖延) today's work ______ tomorrow.
A.after
B.when
C.till
D.before

C

put off...till...是固定搭配，意为“把……推迟到……”，符合句意“我们不应该把今天的工作拖延到明天”。after意为“在……之后”，when意为“当……时”，before意为“在……之前”，均不符合语境。

() 3.The book A Lion's Travelling tells us everyone will meet lots of problems ______ their lives and we should learn to stay strong.
A.with
B.along
C.during
D.around

C

本题主要考查介词的使用。题干大意为“《狮子之旅》这本书告诉我们每个人在生活_____都会遇到很多问题，我们应该学会保持坚强。”选项A“with”通常表示伴随或具有某种特征，不符合语境；选项B“along”表示沿着或顺着，也不适合描述在生活中的情况；选项D“around”表示周围或四处，同样不符合语境；选项C“during”表示在某个时间段内，用在这里表示“在生活中”是合适的。

() 4.Lingling isn't here at the moment. She ______ with her friends in the playground.
A.chatted
B.will chat
C.is chatting
D.was chatting

C

根据题干“Lingling isn't here at the moment.”可知，玲玲现在不在这里，说明她此刻正在做某事，应用现在进行时。现在进行时的结构是“be+动词的现在分词”。A选项是过去式，表示过去发生的动作；B选项是一般将来时，表示将来要发生的动作；D选项是过去进行时，表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，均不符合语境。C选项“is chatting”是现在进行时，符合语境。

() 5.—Oh, the cat ate the rat! How terrible!
—Well, it's ______ for cats to kill rats, isn't it?
A.good
B.modern
C.natural
D.traditional

C

首先分析选项，A选项“good”表示“好的”，放在此处语境不通；B选项“modern”表示“现代的”，与猫抓老鼠这一行为不相关；C选项“natural”表示“自然的”，猫抓老鼠是自然界中常见的现象，符合语境；D选项“traditional”表示“传统的”，通常指文化、习俗等方面的传承，与猫抓老鼠这一自然行为不符。根据对话内容“Oh, the cat ate the rat! How terrible!”以及回答中的“it's ______ for cats to kill rats”，可以判断这里是在说猫抓老鼠是自然的行为。

() 6.—Hi, Jim! We will sing and dance at the party. Come and join us!

A.Sorry.
B.It's all right.
C.That's true.

D

根据对话内容，“Hi, Jim! We will sing and dance at the party. Come and join us!”表示邀请Jim参加聚会，而“It must be fun.”表明说话者对聚会的积极态度。因此，需要选择一个表示接受邀请且态度积极的回答。
A. “Sorry.”表示拒绝，不符合语境；
B. “It's all right.”通常用于表示谅解或接受某种不愉快的情况，不符合语境；
C. “That's true.”表示同意某个观点，但此处是邀请，不符合语境；
