()5. —Hi,how are you doing?
—Busy! I'm working to ______ my education. I don't want to depend too much on my parents.

A.choose
B.cover
C.match
D.manage

B

首先分析题干，“Hi,how are you doing?”是询问对方近况，“Busy! I'm working to ______ my education. I don't want to depend too much on my parents.”回答忙于为教育做某事，不想太依赖父母。接下来分析各个选项，A选项“choose”意思是选择，代入句子“work to choose my education”不符合语境；B选项“cover”有“支付（费用）”的意思，“work to cover my education”表示努力工作来支付教育费用，符合不想太依赖父母的语境；C选项“match”意思是匹配，“work to match my education”不符合表达逻辑；D选项“manage”意思是管理，“work to manage my education”也不符合语境。所以正确答案是B。

()6. Such a little girl can play so many pieces from the Strauss family. What a big ______ for us!
A.hobby
B.surprise
C.problem
D.dream

B

首先分析选项A，“hobby”表示爱好，但题干表达的是小女孩能弹奏很多施特劳斯家族的曲子这件事给“我们”带来的感受，而不是爱好，所以A选项不符合。选项C，“problem”表示问题，题干中并没有提及有任何问题，所以C选项也不合适。选项D，“dream”表示梦想，题干不是在描述梦想相关内容，所以D选项也不正确。而选项B，“surprise”表示惊讶、惊喜，小女孩这么小就能弹奏这么多曲子，这对“我们”来说是一个很大的惊喜，符合题意。

()7. There are ten chairs and twelve teachers here. So we need ______ chairs.
A.still two
B.more two
C.two more
D.two another

C

根据题意“有10把椅子和12位老师”，可知需要额外的椅子数量为12-10=2把。“再/又……”的表达为“数词+more”，所以“还需要两把椅子”用“two more chairs”。选项A“still two”表达错误；选项B“more two”语序错误；选项D“two another”表达错误，another后接数词时结构为“another+数词”。

()8. —How long does it ______ you to finish this book?
—Half an hour.

A.take
B.cost
C.spend
D.pay

A

It takes sb. some time to do sth. 是固定句型，意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”。cost 主语通常是物，指花费金钱；spend 主语是人，常用 spend...on sth. 或 spend...(in) doing sth.；pay 主语是人，常与 for 搭配。本题符合 It takes sb. time to do sth. 结构，所以选 A。

()9. —May I have ______ water?
—Sorry,we don't have ______.
A.some；any
B.any；some
C.some；some
D.any；any

A

在希望得到对方肯定答复的疑问句中用some；在否定句中表示“一些”时用any。第一句“May I have...”是希望得到对方肯定答复，所以用some；第二句“we don't have...”是否定句，所以用any。

()10. —I like wearing sports clothes when travelling.
—______. They are loose and very comfortable to wear.

A.That depends
B.That's all right
C.I don't agree
D.Same here

D

题目中对话一方表示喜欢在旅行时穿运动装，另一方回应说它们宽松且穿着很舒服。这表明另一方也有同样的喜好。A选项“That depends”表示“看情况”，不符合语境；B选项“That's all right”表示“没关系”，不符合语境；C选项“I don't agree”表示“我不同意”，与语境不符；D选项“Same here”表示“我也是”，符合对话语境。
