() 1. —How soon will Sam get his money back? —______. Better late than never!
A.Till next week
B.Until the next week
C.Not until next week
D.Not till the next week

C

问句是询问“Sam多久能拿回他的钱？”，需要回答一个具体的时间点或时间段。选项A“Till next week”表示“直到下周”，但通常不用于回答“how soon”的问题；选项B“Until the next week”语法上不常见，且同样不适合回答“how soon”；选项D“Not till the next week”虽然意思接近，但通常“not till”后面跟具体时间点时，前面不加定冠词“the”；选项C“Not until next week”表示“直到下周才”，符合语境且语法正确，能够准确回答“how soon”的问题。

() 2. People kept coming in, though the film ______ already ______ for fifteen minutes.
A.has; been on
B.had; been on
C.has; begun
D.had; started

B

由"kept"可知主句为一般过去时，"电影已经开始15分钟"发生在"人们不断进来"之前，即过去的过去，用过去完成时，排除A、C；"for fifteen minutes"为时间段，需与延续性动词连用，"begin/start"为非延续性动词，排除D；"be on"为延续性动词短语，符合要求，故选B。

() 3. I'm afraid we will have to call the police if you ______ breaking into the car.
A.give up
B.look for
C.base on
D.insist on

D

首先分析各个选项的含义。A选项“give up”意为“放弃”；B选项“look for”意为“寻找”；C选项“base on”意为“以……为基础”；D选项“insist on”意为“坚持”。根据句子的语境“如果你______闯入汽车，我恐怕我们将不得不报警”，这里需要一个表示“坚持做某事（不好的事）”的短语，所以D选项“insist on”符合语境。

() 4. His new work was a great ______, and he is a ______ composer.
A.success; successful
B.successfully; success
C.succeed; successfully
D.successful; success

A

首先分析句子结构，第一个空需要填入名词作表语，描述新作品的状态；第二个空需要填入形容词修饰名词composer。然后分析选项，A选项中success是名词，意为“成功”，successful是形容词，意为“成功的”，符合句子结构；B选项中successfully是副词，不能作表语，不符合语法；C选项中succeed是动词，不能作表语，successfully是副词，不能修饰名词；D选项中successful是形容词，不能作表语，success是名词，不能修饰名词。因此，正确答案是A。

() 5. —Don't pick flowers in the second garden next time, Bill. —______
A.Don't worry.
B.Sorry, I won't.
C.Is that so?
D.I have no idea.

B

上句是祈使句"下次不要在第二个花园里摘花"，表示禁止或劝告。对于此类提醒，合适的回应应是道歉并承诺不再做。A意为"别担心"，不符合语境；B意为"对不起，我不会了"，符合道歉并承诺的语境；C意为"是这样吗？"，表示疑问，不恰当；D意为"我不知道"，不合适。故答案为B。

() 6. The old man lived alone all his life and he ______ a rainy winter evening.
A.passed away in
B.past away in
C.passed away on
D.past away on

C

“去世”正确表达为“passed away”，“past”是介词或形容词，无动词“去世”含义，排除B、D；具体某一天的晚上用介词“on”，“a rainy winter evening”是具体晚上，用“on”，选C。

() 7. ______ the Forbidden City is over 600 years old, ______ it is still very beautiful.
A.Although; but
B./; although
C.Although; /
D.Because; so

C

根据题干可知，该句想表达的是“虽然紫禁城有600多年的历史了，但它仍然很漂亮”。although和but不能同时出现在一个句子中，二者选其一即可，排除A选项；because和so也不能同时出现在一个句子中，且because表原因，不符合语境，排除D选项；although引导让步状语从句，可放在句首，后面接主句，中间不需要其他连词，B选项不符合语法规则，排除B选项。因此，正确答案是C。

() 8. He made his final ______ last winter and ______ from then on.
A.appear; disappeared
B.appearance; disappeared
C.disappearance; appeared
D.appearance; appeared

B

首先分析句子结构，第一个空需要名词作made的宾语，第二个空需要动词作谓语。接着看选项，A选项中appear是动词原形，不符合第一个空的要求；C选项中disappearance是名词，但根据句意“他去年冬天做了最后的_____，从那时起就_____”可知，第一个空应是“出现”的意思，而disappearance是“消失”的意思，不符合句意；D选项中第二个空appeared是“出现”的意思，也不符合句意“从那时起就消失了”。B选项中appearance是名词“出现”，disappeared是动词“消失”，符合句意和语法要求。

三、阅读填空
I love watching different films. No matter what my mood is, I can always find a s 1 film to enjoy. When I'm feeling down, I watch c 2 films or comedies because they may make me laugh and f 3 the unhappy things momentarily(片刻地). When I'm tired from study, I love to watch r 4 films. The stories of them are pretty simple and touching. The l 5 actors and actresses are usually handsome and beautiful. In the f 6 part, there are usually happy endings. That is really a good way for me to relax. When I am happy, I like watching adventure(冒险) films, but not documentaries or science f 7 films. Adventure films will make me excited. And there are always a 8 endings waiting for me. With an excellent script, a good d 9 can take me to the exciting journey in the film directed by him. There are some other types of films such as horror films or a 10 films. But I don't like them. They always make me scared or bored. I hardly watch them.

5. leading：修饰actors and actresses，leading actors/actresses（主演）是常用搭配。
6. final："happy endings"通常在电影的最后部分，final part（最后部分）恰当。
7. fiction：science fiction films（科幻电影）是固定短语，与documentaries并列。
8. amazing：冒险电影的结局应是令人惊喜的，amazing符合语境。
