　　A.daily

　　解析:选A。考查时态和语态。句意:给老板的那些信被放在了桌子上，但直到三天后他才读的。根据but后的“didn’t read”可知老板读信是发生在过去，所以信被放到桌子上应该发生在“读信”之前，也是过去的动作，与现在无关，所以排除D，因为现在完成时表示动作到现在刚刚结束或是对现在造成了影响或结果。the letters与put之间为被动关系，故排除C；而且the letters作主语，是复数，可排除B。所以答案为A。

　　8.Most of us know we should cut down on fat，but knowing such things isn’t much help when it ________ shopping and eating.

　　A.that

　　B.as

　　C.even

　　D.rather

　　解析:选A。句意为“不值那么多钱”，用that much，此时 that 相当于so。

　　A.a；a

　　B./；/

　　C.a；/

　　D./；a

　　解析:选C。failure指“失败的人或事”时是可数名词；泛指失败时是不可数名词。

　　The Beijing Aerospace Control Center(BACC)，which commanded the Shenzhou-8 mission,_called the re-docking a success, during which functions of the measuring equipment and docking mechanism(机械；技巧)were tested in solar light.

Prior to its return, Shen-zhou-8 will re-disengage from Tiangong-1 and fly alone for a period of time, instead of immediately returning to earth, Li Jian, deputy chief engineer of BACC, said.“Acquisition of the space docking technology is vital to China for implementing(贯彻)the three-phase development strategy of its manned space program，” spokeswoman Wu said.
