1. 前位修饰:单独一个过去分词作定语一般放在被修饰的名词之前。
We need more qualified teachers.
我们需要更多合格的教师。

8.【解析】选D。句意:许多人聚在那里,谈论电影《变形金刚》。a great many后加可数名词复数,表示许多,符合句意。a great deal of后跟不可数名词,the large amount of搭配不正确,the number of表示“……的数量”。
9.【解析】选A。句意:一些学生发现很难理解这位新老师的方言。take in在此表示“理解”。take up占据;从事;take over接管;take on呈现。
10.【解析】选A。句意:我的老师不理解的是,为什么越来越少的中学生对她的课感兴趣。第一空what引导主语从句且在主语从句中作understand的宾语,第二空只有填why才符合句意,why引导表语从句。
11.【解析】选A。most 的前面不能加the,排除B、C两项;固定短语be against 表示“反对”,故答案为A。

Ⅳ. 【文章大意】作者放学后还得去饭店打工,要招呼各种顾客,心里感到很是不爽。但是三位老太太来吃饭,饭后的一番话使作者重拾自信,决心努力拼搏。最终,经过努力,作者圆了上电视的梦想。
1.【解析】选D。考查形容词。放学后还得去上班作者心里感到很不高兴。后面的to make matters worse(使情况更为糟糕的是)说明此处填贬义词。而A项指身体很累。down在此意为“不高兴的,沮丧的”。在第17空后有from being down,也可以得到暗示。
2.【解析】选A。考查动词。作为服务员,我要与投诉的顾客打交道,处理他们投诉的问题。此处的deal with意为“与打交道”。
3.【解析】选B。考查动词。seat为及物动词,“坐下”应说be seated,而A项sit为不及物动词,不能用于被动语态中。
4.【解析】选D。考查动词。顾客投诉饭菜质量、投诉坐的地方太大或太小,此类小事常使服务员感到很烦。要注意此空后的but所表示的是转折关系。but后说“我们都设法成功处理了顾客的投诉”,暗示but前应该是贬义的词。
5.【解析】选A。考查名词。此处的us和后面的we指“饭店里的员工”,故A项正确。此处的us与employees为同位语关系。
6.【解析】选C。考查名词。前面的by the windows和后面的near where都说明此处填的是“地方(spot)”,the very spot强调“就是那个地方”。
7.【解析】选A。考查名词。服务员在客人走后,要将吃剩的菜端走,然后收拾桌子,供后来的人就餐。所以,此处要选A项。
8.【解析】选C。考查名词。在饭店中,进进出出的是顾客,在房子中来回穿梭忙碌的是服务员,故C项正确。
9.【解析】选C。考查连词。这些老太太是来吃饭的,而现在却看我如何工作,故前后两句间在逻辑上是转折关系。
10.【解析】选B。考查连词。后面的to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers表示目的,故此处指我怎么做才能达到此目的。
11.【解析】选A。考查动词。根据后面的took their plates back to the kitchen可知她们已经吃完了。且第13空后有they were leaving暗示。
12.【解析】选B。考查名词。她们在临走前,跟我聊了一会儿,问我有关学校的情况、在学校学得怎么样、在哪个年级及将来的打算。13.【解析】选C。考查连词。此处as表示“当……时候”。
14.【解析】选A。考查形容词。后面的gentle(温和的)说明B、C项错误,而D项没有A项贴切。她们要走时,其中一位老太太用一种自信且温和的声音对我说话。选A也能说明对方确实认为作者会成功的,而不是虚情假意。
15.【解析】选C。考查名词。此题属于原词复现。16.【解析】选B。考查名词。“相信自己”也需要“勇气(courage)”。
17.【解析】选B。考查动词短语。 三位老太太使我重新获得自信的勇气,并使我的情绪不再沮丧。put down“记下;镇压”;pick up“拾起,捡起”;take over“接管”;point out“指明(出)”。
18.【解析】选B。考查名词。三位老太太给了我要继续努力的理由。在她们的鼓舞下,我决心继续努力。
19.【解析】选A。考查名词。此题属于原词复现。根据最后一空前的a student-produced television可知。
20.【解析】选C。考查名词。作者现在是联合主持人(co-anchor),所以肯定是电视节目(show)的联合主持人。
Ⅴ.【参考范文】
Editor,
Last week, two students of our school suffered from stomachache because they ate some poisonous fried food outside campus.
Nowadays in our country, some business people care little about people’s health and safety as long as they can make money. Some even sell polluted or poisonous food to consumers and this often leads to serious health problems.
In order to prevent such tragedy happening again, we students should try to avoid buying food from the stores or stalls out of the school, and have meals in school dining rooms. Only in this way can we protect ourselves. Besides, the local government and the school should take practical measures to ensure students’ health and life security.
I’m expecting your advice and ideas.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
