解析 考查短语辨析。“我想今年夏天休假”与“我又不想错过7月中旬的会议”是矛盾的两个方面，故on the other hand(另一方面)符合语境。what's more另外；by the way顺便说一句；as a matter of fact实际上。
答案 C
6．—Instead of lending a hand，Jim just stood by，laughing at us in trouble.
—Oh，it's________of him to be so coldhearted.
A．conventional
B．typicalC．ridiculous
D．aggressive
解析 考查形容词辨析。根据“Jim非但没有伸出援手，反而站到一边，嘲笑陷入困境的我们。”可知，“他一向这么冷酷无情。”句型“it is typical of sb to do sth”表示“某人通常……，一向……，……是某人的特点”，符合语境。coventional依照惯例的，遵守习俗的，传统的，习惯的；ridiculous愚蠢的，荒谬的；aggressive好斗的，侵略的，富有攻击性的。
答案 B

11．—How I wish I had worked harder when I was in that company.
—If you had，you________a department manager now.
A．are
B．would beC．should be
D．were
解析 本题为错综的虚拟条件句。虽然从句是对过去进行的虚拟，但主句中有时间状语now，所以是对现在的虚拟，用“would＋动词原形”。
答案 B
12．When he was young，he used to________hard at his lessons.
A．devote to working
B．devote himself to work
C．be devoted to work
D．be devoted to working
解析 used to do sth过去常做某事；be devoted to doing sth致力于做某事；B项错在work上，应该用working。
答案 D

A．My pleasure
B．ThanksC．Take it easy
D．Forget it
解析 句意：——Jane，星期五你能和我一起去看比赛吗？——谢谢，Bob，但是我已答应Mary和她一起去了。A项意为“不用谢”；C项意为“别着急”；D项意为“不要放在心上”。
答案 B
15．As his best friend，I can make accurate guesses about________he will do or think.
A．what
B．which
C．whom
D．that
解析 guess about表示“猜测”，其后跟的应该是宾语从句。由于do or think为及物动词短语，故空格处既要引导宾语从句，又要在从句中作宾语使用，故可排除that；由于没有明确的范围，故可排除which；从句中看该处应指物而不指人，故可排除whom。
答案 A
