1．—Do you have a house in mind that you would like to buy?
—Personally，I'd like to buy one that is________for all kinds of transportation.
A．convenient
B．appropriate
C．alternative
D．comfortable
答案 A [考查形容词辨析。convenient“近便的，容易到达的”，其主语通常是物，常与for搭配，符合题意。]
2．In a natural disaster，minutes and even seconds of warning can make the________between life and death.
A．division
B．difference
C．separation
D．sense
答案 B [考查名词辨析。句意：在自然灾害中，数分钟甚至是数秒钟的警告都能影响人的生死。make a/the difference“产生影响，起作用”，是固定短语，故difference正确。]
3．Take care on April Fool's Day.Don't believe________you hear or you might be taken in by a friend.
A．anything
B．everything
C．nothing
D．something
答案 B [考查不定代词。every，everything，all，both等词用在否定句中构成部分否定，意为“并非……都”。Don't believe everything you hear“你听到的不可全信”，符合题意。若选A，则构成完全否定形式，意为“不要相信你听到的任何事情”，这样未免草木皆兵了，是不合逻辑的。]
4．Colorblind people often find it difficult to ________between red and green.
A．separate
B．tell
C．compare D．distinguish
答案 D [考查动词辨析。句意：色盲者常常发现很难辨别红色与绿色。distinguish between...and...“在……间辨别”。separate“分离”； tell表示“辨别”时为及物动词，常用结构为tell...from...；compare“比较”。]
5．Some advertisements________pictures or words of experts to show people how good the products are.
A．are consisted of
B．are made of
C．consist of
D．are made up
答案 C [考查consist of与be made up of的用法。句意：一些广告包含专家的照片或文字，向人们展示产品有多好。consist of“包含”，不用于被动语态，相当于be made up of。]
6．I regret to inform you that your brother is just the one we'll get someone________.
A．replace
B．replacing
C．to replace
D．replaced
答案 C [考查非谓语动词。句意：很抱歉通知你，我们要找人替换的那个人就是你哥哥。由句意可知应选C项。get sb to do sth“让某人做某事”。we'll get someone to replace是省略了that的定语从句。修饰限定先行词the one，that在从句中作replace的宾语。]
7．Many educators often say that providing children with________to the information superhighway is of great importance.
A．preference B．admission
C．allowance
D．access
答案 D [句意：许多教育工作者经常说，给孩子进入信息高速路的权利是极其重要的。access“进入权，使用权”，符合句意。]
8．As the quality of the city's air continues to give rise to________，the residents are encouraged to set off fewer fireworks.
A．concern
B．compromise
C．description
D．emergency
答案 A [考查名词词义辨析。句意：随着城市空气质量持续引起担忧，居民被鼓励少放烟火。concern“担心，忧虑”；compromise“妥协，和解”；description“描述”；emergency“突发事件”。根据句意可知A项正确。]
9．________with her work，she didn't even notice the heavy snowfall outside the window.
A．Occupying
B．To be occupied
C．Having occupied
D．Occupied
答案 D [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处用过去分词作原因状语。be occupied with sth“忙于某事”。]
10．Firefighters tried their best and finally the fire________.
A．kept under control
B．was kept under control
C．was out of control
D．took control
答案 B [句意：消防队员们尽了最大的努力，最后火势终于被控制住了。根据连词and可排除C项；take control短语不完整；the fire与keep之间为被动关系，故选B项。]
