()9.Read the dialogue below. What does Emily mean?
|Nick：It's almost the end of the month and I haven't started my report!|
|Emily：Better late than never. Hurry up!|
A. Nick should never start the report.
B. She will help Nick with the report.
C. Nick should start the report right now.
D. It is good for Nick to start the report late.

C

"Better late than never"意为“迟做总比不做好”，结合Emily说的“Hurry up!”可知她认为Nick应该立刻开始写报告。A选项“永远不要开始”与句意相反；B选项“她会帮忙”对话未提及；D选项“迟开始是好的”不准确，Emily强调的是“迟做总比不做好”而非“迟开始好”，重点是让Nick马上行动。所以选C。

()10.—What do you think of the watch? —______.
A. I like it very much
B. I like it too
C. With pleasure
D. It looks nice

A

对于“What do you think of...”这种句型的回答，通常是表达对某事物的看法。选项A“I like it very much”直接表达了对这个手表的喜爱，是合理的回答；选项B“I like it too”一般用于回应别人也喜欢某物的情况，这里不符合语境；选项C“With pleasure”通常用于回答别人的请求，表示乐意帮忙，与题目语境不符；选项D“It looks nice”只是描述手表的外观，没有直接回答对“这个手表的看法”这个核心问题。所以最合适的回答是A。
