1.Though ________ of the danger of hiking in such weather, the young men still wouldn't give up their plan.
A.reminding
B.reminded
C.being reminded
D.having reminded
解析:选B。由于remind与其逻辑主语the young men之间是被动关系,故用其过去分词形式。though reminded of ...相当于状语从句though they were reminded of ...。
2.________ is obvious that reading in bed does great harm to your eyes.
A.This
B.That
C.They
D.It
解析:选D。It is obvious that ...“很明显……”。该句型中,it作形式主语,that引导主语从句。句意:很明显躺在床上阅读会对眼睛造成很大的伤害。由句意可知D项正确。

解析:选D。set out“出发;动身”,set up“建立;建起”,set down“写下;放下”,set off“出发;动身;使爆炸”。根据对话的语境可知D项正确,此处set off用其引申意义,意为“导致;引起”。
4.The actress who had been highly thought of ________ to be a great disappointment.
A.turned up
