2、e；不填Bthe；theC不填；the D不填；不填解析句意：李华已取代马丽，被选为我班班长。第一空后的monitor是表示职务的名词，且作主语补足语，故不用冠词；take the place of sb/sth为固定短语，意为“代替某人或某物”。答案C3The sign says that children are admitted only if _ by an adult.Ato be accompaniedBaccompanyingCaccompaniedDto accompany解析句意：牌子上写着，儿童必须有成年人陪同方可入场。这里其实是状语从句的省略，省略了children ar

7、e words，the daughter understood what her mother was trying to tell her.ATo be heardBTo hearCHeardDHearing解析句意：听了这些话，女儿明白了母亲想要告诉她什么。分析句子结构可知，逗号前面的部分为伴随状语，不是表目的，故排除A、B两项；hear和逻辑主语the daughter之间是主谓关系，故应用v.ing形式，故选D项。答案D10We invited her to dinner but she didnt bother to _.Aturn onBturn awayCturn upDturn
8、 out解析句意：我们请她吃饭她都不露面。turn up“来到，露面”，符合句意。turn on“打开”；turn away“不许某人进入”；turn out“结果是，证明是”。答案C11There is an ongoing debate about the potentially harmful effects _ text messaging can have on peoples grammar.Awhat Bwho CthatDwhose解析句意：有关发短信对人们语法的潜在危害的辩论正在进行。先行词为the potentially harmful effects，在定语从句中作宾语，

11、Ring me up at any time.AHold on，please.BWhat for?CThat depends.DSounds good.解析我们周末去海边吧？听起来不错。随时给我打电话。根据空后的内容可知，答话者同意去海边，故Sounds good.“听起来不错”，符合语境。Hold on，please.“请稍等”；What for？“为何目的”；That depends.“视情况而定”。答案D15I am so tired，for I _ English for 2 hours.Ais studyingBhave been studyingCwas studyingDhad
12、been studying解析句意：我好累，因为我已经学习英语两个小时了。根据“for 2 hours”可知，此处表示动作从过去某一时间开始，一直延续到现在，可能还要继续下去，故应用现在完成进行时。答案B.阅读理解ASuppose you dont need your car today.And suppose，as it happens that a stranger in your area does need a car.Would you be willing to rent yours out?Several carsharing startups，including Getarou
