— . This is the only day everyone is available.
A. Not likely B. Not exactly
C. Not nearly
D. Not really

2.【解析】选A。考查词汇辨析和非谓语动词。句意: 他母亲去世的消息极大地影响了他, 以至于他一整天把自己锁在房间里, 不吃不喝。affect和effect均可意为“影响”, 但前者为动词, 后者为名词。第一个空应用动词作谓语, 排除B、C两项; affect为及物动词, 不需要加介词, 排除D项; locked in his room作状语, 表示状态。故选A。
3.【解析】选B。考查部分倒装。当“only+状语从句”位于句首时, 主句用部分倒装, 但状语从句用正常语序。故选B。
4.【解析】选A。考查连词。此处使用as if引导方式状语从句。其余选项与题意不符。
【变式备选】

A. even if B. as though
