6．There's a ________ in our office that when it's somebody's birthday, they bring in a cake for us all to share.
A．tradition
B．balance
C．concern
D．relationship
答案 A [考查名词的辨义。句意：我们办公室有个传统：轮到某个人的生日时，他就带蛋糕来与大家分享。tradition传统；balance平衡；concern关心；relationship关系，联系。句中somebody 与they相照应，说明不止一次，因此用tradition作答案。]

A．near
B．upon

B．rather
C．fairly
D．very
答案 B [考查副词。句意：——双胞胎看上去非常相同。——对，我这样想，但他们还是有稍微的区别。既然是双胞胎长像差别就是不大的，故排除A、D；C项一般用于对褒义词的修饰；B项对，一般用于对贬义词的修饰，在like, different前常用rather，不用fairly。]
9．________ great was the destruction that the economy took several years to recover.
A．Too
B．So
C．Such
D．Very
答案 B [考查倒装句式的用法。分析句式和依据句意应该是so...that...句式；但so置于句首，句子构成倒装。]
