()1.—The TV play Lost You Forever is popular online.
—It ______ to be the dark horse at the end of this year.
A. tastes
B. promises
C. predicts
D. decides

B

根据语境，“The TV play...is popular online”表明这部剧受欢迎，“dark horse”指出人意料的成功。“promise to be”意为“有望成为”，符合句意。A.tastes 尝起来；C.predicts 预测，主语通常是人；D.decides 决定，主语一般是人。此处主语是It（指电视剧），用promises符合语法和语境。

( )2.—______ I ask the teachers for help?
—No,you needn't. You can ask your classmates for help. ______ of your teachers is free as they are having a meeting.
A. Must；None
B. Many；Neither
C. Must；Both
D. Need；All

A

第一空根据答语"No,you needn't"可知，问句用"Must"提问，排除B、D；第二空由"they are having a meeting"可知老师们都没空，"None"表示三者及以上都不，"Both"表示两者都，此处老师不止两位，用"None"，排除C。

()3.The restaurant provides ______ designed seats for parents with young children.
A. closely
B. clearly
C. properly
D. specially

D

根据句意“这家餐厅为带小孩的父母提供____设计的座位”，需要一个副词修饰“designed”。A. closely（紧密地）；B. clearly（清晰地）；C. properly（适当地）；D. specially（专门地）。“specially designed”表示“专门设计的”，符合语境。

()4.Li Lei knew little about the film ______ he saw it yesterday afternoon.
A. if
B. since
C. until
D. because

C

此题考查连词用法。根据题干“Li Lei knew little about the film ______ he saw it yesterday afternoon.”，可知句意为“李雷对这部电影了解很少______他昨天下午看了它”。A选项if表示“如果”，引导条件状语从句；B选项since表示“自从；因为”，引导时间状语从句或原因状语从句；C选项until表示“直到……为止”，常与not...until结构搭配，表示“直到……才……”；D选项because表示“因为”，引导原因状语从句。根据句意，这里表达的是“直到看了电影之后才了解”，符合not...until结构，原句中little表示否定含义，相当于not，所以应选until。

( )5.The water in the river smells terrible. People must dirty things into it.
A. be stopped to throw
B. be stopped from throwing
C. stop to throw
D. stop from throwing

B

主语"People"与"stop"是被动关系，需用被动语态，排除C、D；"stop sb. from doing sth."表示"阻止某人做某事"，被动结构为"be stopped from doing sth."，A选项"be stopped to throw"中"to throw"表目的，不符合语境，故选B。

()6.Many inventions have made our life ______ because of technological development.
A. to change a lot
B. change a lot
C. to change
D. change lots of

B

首先分析句子结构，make sb./sth. do sth. 是固定用法，意为“使某人/某物做某事”，所以这里应该用动词原形，排除A和C选项，因为A是不定式形式，C也是不定式形式且缺少“a lot”。然后看D选项，“lots of”通常用来修饰名词，不能修饰动词“change”，所以D选项错误。B选项“change a lot”符合语法和语境，表示“改变很多”。

( )7.—She ______ singing when she was 6 years old.
—No wonder she could win first prize in the singing competition.
. took up
B. gave up
C. called on
D. put on

A

本题可根据各选项短语的含义，结合题干语境来进行分析。
选项A：took up：有“开始从事；开始做”的意思。代入题干“She took up singing when she was 6 years old.”，意思是“她六岁时开始唱歌”，符合语境，且与后文“难怪她能在歌唱比赛中获得一等奖”相呼应。
选项B：gave up：意为“放弃”。若选此项，“She gave up singing when she was 6 years old.”表示“她六岁时放弃了唱歌”，这与后文她能获奖相矛盾，不符合语境。
选项C：called on：表示“拜访；号召”。“She called on singing when she was 6 years old.”表达不通顺，也不符合语境。
选项D：put on：有“穿上；上演”等意思。“She put on singing when she was 6 years old.”语义不通，不符合语境。
综上，正确答案是A。

( )8.—Everyone was lost in his beautiful songs.
—Yes. He has such a ______ voice to attract and move us.
A. strange
B. proud
C. crazy
D. beautiful

D

根据对话内容，“Everyone was lost in his beautiful songs.”表明大家都沉浸在他美妙的歌声中，说明他的声音是吸引人的、美妙的。接下来分析选项：
A. strange 意为“奇怪的”，与语境不符；
B. proud 意为“骄傲的”，与声音特性无关；
C. crazy 意为“疯狂的”，同样与声音特性不符；
D. beautiful 意为“美妙的”，符合大家沉浸在他歌声中的描述。
