7、me reading as you spent chatting online yesterday.因为前面已出现了一次you spent.，为了避免重复，所以用did代替；spend的用法是：spend time(in)doing sth，所以选用D项。答案D9They were poor，but they_a computer for their son.Amanaged buying Btried buyingCmanaged to buy Dtried to buy解析 考查manage的用法。manage to do sth.意为“设法完成某事”，相当于succeed in doin
8、g sth.；而try to do sth.意为“努力做某事”，但不一定成功。答案 C10Growing coin doesnt need_growing rice.Aas much water Bmuch as waterCas much water as Das much as water解析as much as经常与不可数名词连用，一般来说名词要放在much的后面。答案C11The city，_by mountains and lakes，is so beautiful that they have decided to stay there for another two weeks.
9、AstoodBconnectedCblockedDsurrounded解析句意为：这座城市被群山湖水环绕着，显得如此美丽，以至于他们决定再待两个星期。surround意思是“包围，环绕”，这里用的是其过去分词形式。connect连接；block阻挡，挡住，在意思上与语境不符。若把A项stood改为standing则可选。答案D12Peter，where did you guys go for the summer vacation?We_busy with our work for months，so we went to the beach to relax ourselves.Awere
