() 1. You will not ______ the answer until the end of the story.
A.find
B.find out
C.look for
D.search

B

首先分析各个选项的含义，A选项“find”强调“找到”的结果；C选项“look for”强调“寻找”的动作；D选项“search”表示“搜寻、搜索”，通常后面接搜寻的范围等；B选项“find out”表示“查明、弄清楚”，通常指经过调查、研究等弄清楚事情的真相或答案等。本题中“直到故事结尾才……答案”，这里强调经过故事的发展最终弄清楚答案，用“find out”更合适。

() 2. In the film, a doctor is found ______ in his house, so the film is ______ horror and mysteries.
A.dying; fill of
B.dead; full with
C.dead; full of
D.die; filled with

C

第一空考查find+宾语+宾补结构，“be found dead”表示“被发现死亡”，dead为形容词作宾补；第二空考查固定短语“be full of”表示“充满”，fill with需用被动形式“be filled with”。选项C符合，A中“fill of”错误，B中“full with”错误，D中“die”为动词原形不能作宾补。

() 3. We are covering ______ these ______ girls' wonderful performances.
A.live; alive
B.alive; lively
C.live; lively
D.living; alive

C

首先分析选项中的单词意思和用法。`live` 作为形容词时，表示“现场直播的”；`alive` 意为“活着的”，通常作表语；`lively` 意为“活泼的，生动的”；`living` 意为“活着的，现存的”，常作定语。第一个空需要描述的是“正在现场直播”，因此应选择 `live`。第二个空需要描述的是“活泼可爱的女孩们”，因此应选择 `lively`。综合两个空的选择，只有C选项符合条件。

() 4. The 29th Olympic Games ______ in Beijing on August 8th, 2008.
A.are held
B.will be held
C.were held
D.has been held

C

题干中提到“The 29th Olympic Games ______ in Beijing on August 8th, 2008.”，意思是第29届奥林匹克运动会在2008年8月8日在北京举行。根据时间状语“on August 8th, 2008”可知，该句描述的是过去发生的事情，所以应该使用一般过去时。同时，奥运会是被举行的，所以应该使用被动语态。一般过去时的被动语态结构是“was/were + 过去分词”。由于主语“The 29th Olympic Games”是复数形式，所以应该使用“were”。选项A是一般现在时的被动语态，选项B是一般将来时的被动语态，选项D是现在完成时的被动语态，均不符合题意。只有选项C“were held”是一般过去时的被动语态，符合题意。

() 5. The ______ trip was so ______ that he felt very tired.
A.two-hour; bored
B.two-hours; boring
C.two-hours; bored
D.two-hour; boring

D

首先，对于描述时间的复合形容词，“two-hour”表示“两小时的”，是一个整体，中间加连字符，并且名词用单数形式，所以“two-hours”形式是错误的，排除B、C选项。其次，“bored”通常用来描述人的感受，表示“感到厌烦的”；而“boring”用来描述事物，表示“令人厌烦的”。本题中描述的是“trip”（旅行），是事物，所以应该用“boring”。

() 6. ______, like Tom and Jerry, are children's favourite programmes.
A.Cartoons
B.Game shows
C.Drama series
D.Talk shows

A

题目询问的是像《Tom and Jerry》这样的，孩子们最喜欢的节目类型是什么。根据常识，《Tom and Jerry》是一部动画片，因此我们需要找到一个能概括这类节目的选项。
A. Cartoons（动画片） - 这与《Tom and Jerry》属于同一类型，符合题意。
B. Game shows（游戏节目） - 这与动画片不同，不符合题意。
C. Drama series（电视剧） - 这同样与动画片不同，不符合题意。
D. Talk shows（脱口秀） - 这也与动画片不同，不符合题意。
因此，正确答案是A选项，即Cartoons（动画片）。

() 7. None of us knew what had happened ______ they told us about it.
A.when
B.until
C.after
D.though

B

首先分析选项，A选项“when”表示“当……时”，如果选A，句子的意思是“当他们告诉我们这件事时，我们没有人知道发生了什么”，这与原句意思不符；C选项“after”表示“在……之后”，若选C，则句意为“在他们告诉我们这件事之后，我们没有人知道发生了什么”，逻辑不通；D选项“though”表示“尽管”，选D的话句子的逻辑关系不正确；B选项“until”常与否定词“none”连用，构成“not...until”结构，表示“直到……才……”，此句中“None of us knew what had happened until they told us about it.”意思是“直到他们告诉我们这件事，我们才知道发生了什么”，符合句意。

() 8. ______ you are watching the show, write down your answers.
A.While
B.After
C.Before
D.If

A

分析句子结构可知，该句是一个时间状语从句，表示在某个动作发生的同时进行另一个动作。选项A“While”表示“当……时候”，符合句意，表示在观看节目的同时写下答案；选项B“After”表示“在……之后”，不符合句意；选项C“Before”表示“在……之前”，也不符合句意；选项D“If”表示“如果”，引导条件状语从句，不符合句意。因此，正确答案是A。
