B play a part 意為 “ 扮演角色 ” ; at the age of 意為 “ 在 ?? 歲的時(shí)候 ” 。 5. A 本題為 This is+序數(shù)詞+ time (that). ..句型,從句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。 也許她是無(wú)辜的 。 with 是介詞 , 不能引導(dǎo)從句 。 15. B replace 和 Mr Smith 之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,可排除 A、 C 兩項(xiàng); D項(xiàng)表示動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行,不符合題意。 7. A 看到布料被弄壞了,當(dāng)然是非常惱火了。 女兒獨(dú)自在自己的房間里呆了一段時(shí)間才出來(lái)向母親說(shuō)晚安 。 17.

A 女兒受過(guò)訓(xùn)斥之后,不聲不響地回到了她的房間,因此 quietly 符合題意。 invest 投資,不合題意; keep 與store 是同義詞,都不適合使用。 根據(jù)句意可知 Christmas evening party 表特指 , 故用定冠詞 。 achieve 做到,達(dá)到 。 8.
