A. different, B. important C. necessary D. impossible 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：在这么短的时间内完成这项工作是不可能的。我们需要更多的帮助。 different不同的；important重要的；necessary必要的；impossible不可能的。根据后句“We need more help.”可知任务艰巨，推测出短时间内完成工作是不可能的。应填impossible。 3. Paul missed the bus, and what’s ________, it started to rain heavily. A. better B. worse C. brighter D. less 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：Paul错过了公交车，而且更糟糕的是，天开始下大雨了。 考查形容词比较级辨析。better更好的；worse更糟糕的；brighter更明亮的；less更少的。根据语境可知，Paul错过了公交车，而天又下大雨，所以情况是变得更糟糕了，应该用worse。what’s worse是固定搭配，表示“更糟糕的是”。故选B。 4.

A. protects B. protected C. has protected D. had protected 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从去年被修复以来，这个避雷针已经保护这座建筑免受雷击至少三次了。 考查动词的时态。protects保护，一般现在时；protected保护，一般过去时；has protected已经保护了，现在完成时；had protected已经保护了，过去完成时。根据“Since it was fixed last year”可知，since引导的时间状语从句表示从过去某时开始持续到现在的动作，主句常用现在完成时，强调对现在的影响或结果。故选C。 9.

A. already B. yet C. just D. ever 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：他还没有完成他的作业，所以他不能和我们一起打篮球。 already已经；yet还，尚；just刚刚；ever曾经。根据“He hasn’t finished...”可知，句子是否定句，且空处在句末，yet常用于现在完成时的否定句，表示“还”，强调还未完成作业，故填yet。 10.

The meeting ________ for only 5 minutes. A. has begun B. has been on C. is beginning D. begin 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——对不起，我迟到了。——没关系。会议只进行了 5 分钟。 句中“for only 5 minutes”表示时间段，常与现在完成时连用，且谓语动词需用延续性动词，begin为瞬间动词，不能与时间段连用，需改为be on，主语The meeting为单数，助动词用has，应填has been on。 12. He kept ________ on his design day after day and finally succeeded. A. work B. to work C. working D. worked 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他日复一日坚持做他的设计，最终成功了。 固定搭配keep doing sth.意为“坚持做某事”，keep后接动词-ing形式，keep working表示“持续工作”，应选working。 13. Nothing can be achieved ________ enough effort. A. with B. without C. through D. by 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：没有足够的努力，什么也成就不了。 with具有/带着；without没有；through通过；by通过/被。根据“Nothing can be achieved ... enough effort.”可知，“没有”足够的努力就无法成就任何事情。 14. —You look worried.

Two ________ are sold out (被售出) in ten minutes. A. Hundreds of; hundred B. Hundreds of; hundreds C. Hundred of; hundreds D. A hundred of; hundred 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：数百名歌迷正在网上预订音乐会门票。两百张票在十分钟内就卖完了。 hundred与具体数词连用时表示确数，后面不加s；与of连用时表示概数，后面加s。根据第一空处无具体数字，表示“数百名”，应用固定搭配hundreds of；根据第二空前有具体数字Two，表示“两百”，应用“数词+hundred”结构，hundred不加s。a hundred of不是正确的搭配。 二、完形填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面短文掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I loved sports.
