从下列每小题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. There is__________ university in __________ north of China. It is called Tsinghua University.
A. an; the B. a; the C. a; / D. an; /
【答案】B
【分析】句意：中国北方有一所大学。它叫清华大学。
考查冠词的用法。第一空表示泛指，且university是以辅音音素开头的，所以第一空填an。第二空是固定词组，in the north of“在……的北部”，故选B。
2. —_____ the population of your town
— Over 40,000.
A. How is B. How much is
C. What are D. What is
【答案】D
【分析】句意：——你们镇有多少人口？——40000多人。

3. My parents didn’t allow me ______ to the party.
A. go B. to go
C. goes D. went
【答案】B
【分析】试题分析：句意：我父母不允许我去参加聚会。allow sb to do sth“允许某人去做某事”，故此处用动词不定式to go。故选B。
【考点定位】考查动词不定式的用法。
4. It is ________ to work out this problem. You don’t need to ask the teacher for help
A. enough easy B. enough easily C. easy enough D. easily enough
【答案】C
【分析】句意：解决这个问题是足够容易的。你不需要向老师寻求帮助。
考查enough的位置。根据句意理解可知，这里表达的是“足够容易的”空格在is后面，所以这里应该用形容词，在句中做表语，所以排除B/ D选项，而enough修饰形容词或副词时，应置于其后，所以应该是easy enough的结构，故选C。
【点睛】英语中enough既可以当形容词用，也可以当副词用。当形容词用时，主要修饰名词，一般放在名词前面，构成“enough+名词”的结构，比如“足够的时间”表达为enough time，而作为副词时，一般修饰形容词或副词，则需要放在形容词或副词后面，构成“形容词/副词+enough”的结构，比如本题中修饰形容词easy时，结构应该是easy enough，做题时要注意enough的位置。

【1题分析】
句意：我们正在田野里野餐，我看到了一些奇怪的东西。根据“We were having a p...in a field”可知是指野餐，have a picnic“野餐”，故填(p)icnic。
【2题分析】
句意：有一只长着粉红色鼻子的白猫坐在树上。根据“a white cat w...a pink nose”可知是指有着粉色鼻子的白猫，with“有”，介词，故填(w)ith。
【3题分析】
句意：当然，这没什么奇怪的，但它看起来像是在吃树上的叶子！根据“but it looked like it was e...the leaves in the tree”可知白猫正在吃树叶，eat“吃”，动词应用现在分词形式和be动词was构成过去进行时，故填(e)ating。
【4题分析】
句意：真奇怪！根据“Cats don’t usually eat leaves”可知猫不吃树叶，但是这个猫好像在吃树叶，很奇怪，strange“奇怪的”，形容词作表语。故填(s)trange。
【5题分析】
句意：也许它很饿了。根据“Maybe it’s very h...”结合猫在吃树叶可知猫应该很饿了，hungry“饥饿的”，形容词作表语。故填(h)ungry。
【6题分析】
句意：当我看着它的时候，猫从树上下来，跳到地上，穿过田野坐在我们旁边。根据“W...I was looking at it, the cat got out of the tree”可知是指当作者看着它的时候，空后是过去进行时，此处应用while“当……时候”引导时间状语从句。故填(W)hile。
【7题分析】
句意：当我看着它的时候，猫从树上下来，跳到地上，穿过田野坐在我们旁边。根据“walked a...the field”可知是指穿过田野，walk across“穿过”，故填(a)cross。
【8题分析】
句意：也许它想要一些我们的野餐来吃，但对猫来说什么也没有。根据“Maybe it wanted some of our picnic to eat,”以及but可知，这里没有什么可以给猫吃的东西，nothing“没有什么”符合语境，故填(n)othing。
【9题分析】
句意：我对它说“你好”，它对我微笑。根据“hello”可知“你好”是说出来的，say hello“打招呼”，故填(s)aid。
【10题分析】
句意：我在口袋里找到一些饼干，把它们给了猫。此空需要用代词宾格指代biscuits(饼干)，them“它们”符合语境，故填(t)hem。
