()9. In the UK,a lady usually doesn't like to be asked ______.
A.where she comes from
B.how old is she
C.whether has she got married
D.how much she weighs

D

在英语中，宾语从句要用陈述句语序，即“引导词+主语+谓语+其他”。选项B“how old is she”和选项C“whether has she got married”都是疑问句语序，不符合宾语从句的要求，所以可先排除B、C选项。在西方国家，询问女士的年龄和体重等私人问题通常被认为是不礼貌的。选项A询问女士来自哪里，虽然也涉及个人隐私，但相比之下，询问体重更为敏感和不礼貌。选项D询问女士的体重，这在英国文化中是一个较为忌讳的话题。根据题目语境和英语文化常识，应选择最不符合英国女士喜好的问题。

()10. —I am afraid I have to stop dreaming of being an artist.
—______. You are a born artist. Work hard and you'll achieve success.

A.Don't mention it
B.I can't agree more
C.It doesn't matter
D.Don't lose heart

D

本题考查日常交际用语。题干的意思是：“——恐怕我必须停止梦想成为一名艺术家了。——______。你是一个天生的艺术家。努力工作，你将会成功的。”根据语境可知，第二个说话人是在鼓励对方不要放弃梦想。
选项A，Don't mention it的意思是“不用谢，没关系”，通常用于回应别人的感谢，不符合语境，故排除。
选项B，I can't agree more的意思是“我完全同意”，通常用于表达对某个观点或陈述的强烈赞同，不符合语境，故排除。
选项C，It doesn't matter的意思是“没关系”，通常用于回应别人的道歉，不符合语境，故排除。
选项D，Don't lose heart的意思是“不要灰心”，用于鼓励对方不要放弃，符合语境，是合适的回答。

二、完形填空
My son Daniel began surfing at the age of 13. After school each day he put on his wet suit and waited to be challenged by three-to-six-foot waves. Daniel's love for the ride was tested one 11 afternoon.
"Your son has been in an accident," the lifeguard(救生员)reported to my 12 Mike over the phone hurriedly. " 13 he came up to the top of the water,the point of the board was headed towards his eye."
Mike rushed our son to the hospital. He 14 26 stitches(缝针)from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose.
I was 15 home from a meeting while Daniel's eye was being stitched. Mike drove 16 to the airport after they left the doctor's office. He greeted 17 at the gate while Daniel was waiting in the car.
"Daniel?" I questioned. I thought the 18 must have been terrible that day.
"He's been in an accident,but he's going to be fine," Mike comforted me.
I ran to the car. My son reached out both arms,crying,"Oh,Mum,I'm so glad you're home."
I sobbed(抽泣)in his arms,telling him how 19 I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called.
"It's okay,Mum," he said. "I'll be fine. The doctor said I could go back in the water in eight days."
Was he 20 ? I wanted to tell him that he wasn't allowed to go near water again until he was 35,but 21 I controlled myself.
He kept asking me to let him go back on the 22 for the next seven days. One day after I 23 "No" to him for the 100th time,he beat me at my own game.
"Mum,you taught us never to 24 what we love."
I gave in. Back then Daniel was just a boy with deep 25 for surfing. Now he is among the top 25 surfers in the world.
