() 7.The smile on my father’s face showed that he was ______ with me.
A.sad
B.pleased
C.angry
D.sorry

B

本题可根据各选项的含义，结合题干语境来判断正确答案。题干表达的是“父亲脸上的笑容表明他对我很……”。A选项“sad”意为“难过的”，若有难过的情绪，脸上不会是笑容，不符合语境；B选项“pleased”意为“满意的”，父亲脸上有笑容说明他对“我”是满意的，符合语境；C选项“angry”意为“生气的”，生气时脸上不会是笑容，不符合语境；D选项“sorry”意为“遗憾的；抱歉的”，也不符合脸上有笑容的语境。

() 8.— Mum, could you buy me a dress like this?
— Certainly, we can buy ______ one than this, but ______ this.
A.a better; better than
B.a worse; as good as
C.a cheaper; as good as
D.a more important; good as

C

本题可根据句意以及比较级和原级比较的用法来进行解答。首先，根据“but”可知，前后句之间存在转折关系，前半句说买一个比这个更……的，后半句表达和这个一样好，所以前半句应从价格方面考虑，表达买一个比这个更便宜的，用“cheap”的比较级“cheaper”；其次，“as...as”表示“和……一样”，中间用形容词或副词的原级，此处表示“和这个一样好”，用“as good as”。A选项“a better; better than”不符合语境；B选项“a worse; as good as”，“worse”表示更差的，不符合题意；D选项“a more important; good as”表达错误且不符合语境。

() 9.— Remember this, children. ______ careful you are, ______ mistakes you will make.
— We know, Miss Gao.

A.The more; the more
B.The fewer; the more
C.The more; the fewer
D.The less; the less

C

“The+比较级，the+比较级”表示“越……，越……”。careful的比较级是more careful；mistakes是可数名词复数，用fewer修饰。句意为“你越仔细，犯的错误就越少”，故选C。

() 10.Jo looks so ______ today because she has got an “A” in her maths test.
A.happy
B.happily
C.angry
D.angrily

A

题干中“looks”为系动词，其后应接形容词作表语。根据“because she has got an ‘A’ in her maths test”可知，Jo 因为数学考试得了 A 应该感到高兴。A 选项“happy”是形容词，意为“高兴的”；B 选项“happily”是副词；C 选项“angry”是形容词“生气的”；D 选项“angrily”是副词。所以应选 A。
