4. 考查名词，此处作主语，应用名词safety"安全"，句首首字母大写，故填Safety。
5. 考查名词复数，定语从句中谓语动词have done为复数形式，先行词thief应用复数thieves，故填thieves。
6. 考查时态和主谓一致，描述过去的事情，主语The back door是单数，用一般过去时was，故填was。
7. 考查时态，根据yet可知用现在完成时，主语We，否定形式为haven't arrested，故填haven't arrested。

—Well,you should give it up earlier ______ you really do not care about your health.

A.until
B.while
C.unless
D.if

C

第一句意为“上周医生再次建议我戒烟”，第二句“你应该早点戒掉，______你真的不在乎自己的健康”。A.until（直到）；B.while（当……时/然而）；C.unless（除非）；D.if（如果）。根据语境，此处表示“除非你不在乎健康，否则应该早点戒”，unless符合逻辑。

()2. When they finally sent the boy to the hospital,he was found ______ already. How sad it was！
A.died
B.death
C.dead
D.dying

C

find+宾语+形容词作宾补，此处被动语态中“he was found”后需形容词作主语补足语。A是动词过去式/过去分词，B是名词，C是形容词“死的”，D是形容词“垂死的”。根据“already”可知已死亡，选C。
