答案及详细解析
一、 单项选择
1. A 答案：本题考查动词的用法。四个选项都有到达的意思，但此时，home是副词，不能跟在介词后，所以只能选BCD。如果是get home，或是arrive home都是可以的。
2. B 答案：本题考查状语从句的引导词，until是直到的意思。前句中有Nothing,其实可以把本句当做notuntil的句型来理解。意思是，直到她妈妈告诉他，她才知道这件事。
3. C 答案：本题考查短语用法，be famous for因而出名，是固定用法。
4. C 答案：本题考查量词的用法，在英文中量词是没有单复数的，比如所2000，应该是two thousand。但有一个用法是thousands of 表示成千上万的意思，是概数，类似的，hundred, million都有类似的用法。本题中用millions of 表示成百上千万的。Of后如果是棵树名词的话应该是复数。
5. B 解析：本题考查动词词组，这属于比较难的英语题型了，中考会出现。Turn over意思是翻转，get over有克服(困难--)的意思，take over意思是接替，接管，look over 有审阅，查看的意思。B最合适。
二、 完形填空
1. C 解析：have to有不得不的意思，由于雾厚，所以司机们是不得不开的很慢。
2. D 解析：hardly是几乎不的意思，这事一个半否定的词。这个词是小升初常考词，常在反义疑问句考题中出现，需要特别关注。
3. A 解析：本题考查状语从句连词的用法，if表示如果，引导条件状语从句。
4. B 解析：本题考查上下文，从下文可以推断出本题讲的是一场很严重的雾，应该选thick.
5. C 解析：worst是bad的最高级，表示最严重的。
6. A 解析：smog是不可数名词。Much可以修饰不可数名词。
7. B 解析：上句提到很多人变得不健康，可以退出雾是很危险的。
8. B 解析：下文中提到人们都尽量带在家里，说明街道应该是空的。
9. D 解析：本题考查动词意义，lift有(云雾等)消散，停止的意思。如果对这个意思不了解，也完全可以用排除法很容易的做出来。
10.D 解析：as a result of---由于的结果。
