() 3.We are asking anyone who saw ______ last night to contact us.
A.something usual
B.nothing usual
C.unusual something
D.anything unusual

D

形容词修饰不定代词需后置，排除C；"something"用于肯定句，"anything"用于否定句和疑问句，本句为疑问句，排除A；"nothing usual"表示“没什么平常的事”，不符合语境，排除B；"anything unusual"表示“任何不寻常的事”，符合题意。

() 4.I left my mobile phone ______ in the shop, but I can't find it ______.
A.somewhere; somewhere
B.somewhere; anywhere
C.anywhere; everywhere
D.everywhere; anywhere

B

首先分析句子，前半句表示“我把手机落在商店的某个地方了”，表示某个不确定的地点，应用“somewhere”；后半句表示“但我到处都找不到它”，在否定句中表示“任何地方”应用“anywhere”。接下来分析选项，A选项“somewhere; somewhere”不符合后半句的否定语境；C选项“anywhere; everywhere”中“anywhere”用于肯定句时表示“任何地方”，与前半句语境不符，“everywhere”表示“到处”，不符合后半句语境；D选项“everywhere; anywhere”中“everywhere”同样不符合前半句语境。只有B选项“somewhere; anywhere”符合前后两句的语境。

() 5.The police are now ______ the scene ______ more clues which may help solve the case.
A.check; for
B.check; to
C.checking; for
D.checking; of

C

首先，根据句子中的“are now”可知，句子时态为现在进行时，其结构为“be + 动词的现在分词”，因此第一个空应填“checking”，表示“正在检查”。其次，根据句意“警察正在现场____更多的线索，这些线索可能有助于破案”，可知第二个空应填介词“for”，表示“为了寻找”。选项A和B中的“check”为动词原形，不符合现在进行时的结构；选项D中的“of”表示所属关系，不符合句意。因此，正确答案为C。

Because not every dish has a picture on the menu, 2 food becomes a guessing game. My father and I often 3 what kind of vegetables or meat we're eating. In one of our favourite Sichuan restaurants, it took three waiters 15 minutes to take our order for 4. I simply wanted water, but my father wanted to try one of the fresh juices listed on the menu.

We had the most difficult time ordering our meal, since there were so many choices. Luckily, the waiter was very 7 and successfully understood us. During the dinner, noodles slipped(滑落) through my chopsticks onto the table lots of times. Once, I tried to pick up a dumpling for my father, but I 8 it on his shorts. We both looked at it as it fell to the floor. I looked behind me and people were 9 about my chopsticks skills.
No matter how difficult it is for us to understand the menu, the waiters are always very understanding of our 10. They always give us good service, even when they realize they have to clean up the noodles that have slipped through my chopsticks.
