()5. — Sorry, I've read the book before.
— What a pity! It by a young writer named Zhang Han.

A.ever; writes
B.never; wrote
C.ever; is written
D.never; was written

5. D

【分析】首先理解对话语境：答语“What a pity!”（真可惜）体现出遗憾的情绪，说明说话人之前没读过这本书，因此第一空需填表示“从未”的副词never，排除含ever的A、C选项；第二空主语it指代the book，书是动作write的承受者，需用被动语态，且写书是过去发生的动作，故用一般过去时的被动语态，因此选D。
【解析】1. 第一空分析：根据答语的遗憾语境，需表达“从未读过”，never符合；ever表“曾经”，不符合，排除A、C。2. 第二空分析：主语it（指代书）是动作write的承受者，需用被动语态；写书是过去的动作，故用一般过去时的被动语态“was written”，因此选D。
【答案】D
【知识点】副词辨析；一般过去时的被动语态
【点评】本题结合对话语境考查副词辨析与被动语态的基础用法，需先通过语境判断副词，再根据主语与动作的逻辑关系确定被动语态，是初中英语常见的基础题型，注重语境理解和语法应用。

()6. The foreigners have been in Beijing for three years, so they the city.

A.are famous for
B.are thirsty for
C.are familiar with
D.are similar to

6. C

【分析】先理解句子含义：这些外国人在北京待了三年，所以他们______这个城市。需辨析四个选项的短语意思，结合语境判断。逐个分析选项：A. be famous for 意为“因……而闻名”；B. be thirsty for 意为“渴望……”；C. be familiar with 意为“熟悉……”；D. be similar to 意为“与……相似”。根据“在北京待了三年”的语境，应是熟悉城市，据此选择。
【解析】句子翻译为“这些外国人已经在北京待了三年，所以他们______这个城市”。A选项“are famous for”不符合语境；B选项“are thirsty for”与句意无关；C选项“are familiar with”表示“熟悉”，符合逻辑；D选项“are similar to”搭配对象不符。因此选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】短语辨析；固定搭配
【点评】本题考查常用英语短语的词义辨析，结合句子语境即可轻松选出正确答案，属于基础题。
