[单选题]I don't know his address, ______.

正确答案 ：B

otherwise I would write to him

解析：解析：在otherwise或or引导的并列分句中用虚拟语气。此时，otherwise或or引导的并列句相当于非真实性条件句中的主语部分，前一分句暗示了现在的情况，因而在 otherwise引导的分句中要用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。

[单选题]Guest: Oh, I hadn't realized how late it was. I'm afraid I'll have to be going. Host: Oh, not yet. I'm just going to make some coffee. Guest: ______ , though I'd really love to stay. I've got to be up by six tomorrow morning, unfortunately. Thank you for a wonderful party.

正确答案 ：A

I'm sorry, but I must

[单选题]Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the【31】of the year, or manured a field; but we know【32】about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so【33】so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are【34】that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are,【35】they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in【36】an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and【37】them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is【38】conquerors and generals have done -- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other【39】by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of other side, and then【40】that that side which has killed most has won.

正确答案 ：C

length

[单选题]Which of the following objects was an important woodworking tool used by early American craftsmen?

正确答案 ：D

A chisel

解析：解析：应该在文章中找到每一个选项的单词在文中出现的地方，然后判断出其是否是工具还是木雕作品。只有D选项chisel一词与另一种工具knife作为并列关系同时出现，所以可以判定其为另外一种工具。其他选项代表的全是木雕作品。

[单选题]The passage suggests that the early shops for making tools were ______.

正确答案 ：A

not very sophisticated

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“At first，these articles were whittled with a knife，but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.”在这里，A选项的not very sophisticated 意思为“并不复杂，是简单的”，对应原文中的primitive(原始的，简单的)。其他选项的内容属于无关信息。

[单选题]What matters ______ not winning but participating.

正确答案 ：D

is

解析：解析：此句很可能考句子主语，又因出现动词matter，因此，主语极可能为一主语从句。如主语为名词性从句，谓语动词一般用单数。

正确答案 ：D

expected

解析：解析：not as... as意为“和……不像”；recognize意为“认出”；inspect意为“检察，视察”；object是：反对(做某事)”；expect意为“期望，预期”。

[单选题]We can infer by this label that ______.

正确答案 ：A

the medicine could cause some people to feel nervous

解析：解析：B和C选项的内容与原文不符，属于错误信息；D选项内容也不正确，这种药为tablet意思为“药片”，本身并不是液体。A选项的内容可以由短文的最后一个句子“Reduce dosage if nervousness，restlessness，or sleeplessness occurs.”所确认。

[单选题]Mrs. White is different from her friends who were ______.

正确答案 ：B

not always hopeful

解析：解析：本题题干上的信号词为different和friends，依据句为“Unlike her friends， however，she never lost heart.”其中lose heart =lose hope。此句意为“她从来都是满怀希望，而她的朋友与她不同，并不是经常满怀希望”。
