() 1.—Why is it better to take a taxi?
—Because the bus stop is far away from here. Walking there will ______ you 20 minutes.

A.take
B.spend
C.use
D.cost

A

首先分析选项中的四个词，它们都有“花费”的意思，但在用法上有所不同。take常用于句型“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”，表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”；spend常用于“sb. spend(s) some time/money on sth.”或“sb. spend(s) some time/money (in) doing sth.”句型，主语是人；use表示“使用”，不符合句意；cost常用于“sth. cost(s) sb. some money”句型，主语是物，通常指花费金钱。本题中主语是“Walking there”（走路这件事），且说的是花费时间，符合“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”的结构，虽然这里是动名词短语作主语，但用法类似，所以应该用take。

() 2.If you give me a chance, I will manage ______ the work well.
A.do
B.doing
C.to do
D.did

C

本题考查动词manage的用法。manage to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“设法做成某事”，所以此处应用动词不定式to do。选项A是动词原形，选项B是动名词形式，选项D是动词过去式，均不符合manage的用法。

() 3.—Does "Double Reduction" policy ______ all the people in our country?
—Of course not. It is just for students.

A.catch
B.cover
C.cost
D.close

B

首先分析各个选项的含义。A选项“catch”意为“抓住；赶上”；B选项“cover”有“覆盖；包括”的意思；C选项“cost”表示“花费”；D选项“close”意为“关闭”。根据对话内容“‘Double Reduction’ policy ______ all the people in our country”以及回答“It is just for students.”可知，这里是在问“双减”政策是否涵盖我国所有人，所以“cover”符合语境。

() 4.The price is too ______. I won't take it.
A.high
B.large
C.much
D.expensive

A

在英语中描述价格时，通常用“high”表示价格高，用“low”表示价格低。“large”一般用来形容尺寸、数量等大；“much”表示许多；“expensive”虽然也表示昂贵，但通常用来形容物品本身，而不是价格。题干中说的是“The price is too...”，即价格太...，所以应该用“high”。

() 5.Forty per cent of the work ______ too hard for me, so I can't finish it ______ help.
A.is; without any
B.are; with some
C.are; without any
D.is; with some

A

首先，我们分析句子的主语“Forty per cent of the work”，其中“work”为不可数名词，因此谓语动词应用单数形式，即“is”，排除B、C选项。接着，我们分析后半句，“so I can't finish it ______ help.”表示“所以我不能完成它______帮助”。根据句意，这里应该填“没有”，即“without”，且“without any help”表示“没有任何帮助”，符合语境。而“with some”表示“有一些”，与句意不符，排除D选项。因此，正确答案为A。

() 6.—What do you think of the Great Wall? —______.
A.The guide took us there
B.We went there by car
C.Fantastic
D.It was not far from our hotel

C

题目问的是对长城的看法，需要回答对长城的评价。A选项“导游带我们去了那里”，B选项“我们乘汽车去那里”，D选项“它离我们酒店不远”，均不是对长城的评价。C选项“太棒了”是对长城的看法和评价，符合题意。
