4、解析因为too修饰形容词或副词，far是用来加强too的语气的。6I want to use the same dictionary _ was used yesterday.Awhich BwhoCwhat Das答案D解析当先行词前有as，so，such，the same等修饰时，在从句中作主语或宾语的关系代词用as。在本句话中，as作从句的主语。7I _to go for a walk，but someone called and I couldnt get away.Awas planning BplannedChad planned Dwould plan答案C解析句意为：我本打算去

8、the beach today.Athe；a Bthe；theC/；a Da；the答案A解析第一空at the weekend在周末；第二空表示“三分之一”，在英语中，当分子是1时，分子可用a或one，如果分子大于1，分母要用复数形式。12Someone wants you on the phone._ nobody knows I am here.AAlthough BAndCBut DSo答案C解析前半句句意为：有人给你打电话，后半句句意为：没有人知道我在这儿。根据句子意思可知前后两句明显为转折关系，因此选C项。13His parents thought only in this way
