A If
B In case
C Even when
D Even if
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
连词应用。根据句意，划线部分应填一个引导让步状语从句的连词，而if如果(引导条件从句)，每当……时(表因果关系)，即使(if当此意讲时，常用even if)；如：If I am wrong，you are wrong too．即使我错了，你也对不了。in cases 在……的情况下，万一……的话；如：In case anything important happens，please call me up．万一发生什么重要事情，请打电话给我。even if即使，纵使(even if的从句中含有强烈的假定性)；如：Even if he is poor，she loves him．即使他很穷，她还是爱他。所以应用选项D。
第7题

A take away
B take on

B of... for which
C of... in which
D for ... on which
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
习惯搭配和结构应用。“为某事负责”是take responsibility for，所以第一个空要填for；第二个空白处的介词短语与后面的we live构成定语从句修饰world，所填之处应为介词+关系代词构成的介词短语，因表地点world，所以应用in which；只有选项A正确。
第9题

A ourselves
B to each other
C each of us
D both
【正确答案】：B
【本题分数】：1.0分

在此均为代词。
第10题

A if he knew
B if he knows
C he had known
D had he known
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
虚拟语气。本句是对过去事实的假设，条件从句的谓语应用过去完成时(had known)，而if条件句中如有were，should，had，可将if省去，而把were，should，had放在句首。因此选项D是答案。
第11题
Without the music, the children would have not had so much fun.
A wouldn't be having
B wouldn't have been
C wouldn't be
D wouldn't have had
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。当有两个以上的助动词时，not跟在第一个助动词之后。介词短语without the music可代替虚拟条件从句；本句表达的是与过去事实相反的假设，后面的主句谓语应用would+have+过去分词；因此选项D是答案。
第12题
All root vegetables grow underground, and not all vegetables that grow underground are roots.
A but
B or
C as
D thus
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。根据句意，前后两句应是转折关系，因此连接词应是表示转折关系的but，而不能用表示并列关系的and；因此选项A是答案。or表示“或”；as“当……之时，随着”；thus“因此，这样”。
第13题
The pictures of the Loch Ness Monster show a remarkable resemblance to a plesiosaur, a large water reptile of the Mesozoic era presuming extinct for more than 70 million years.
A supposed
B presumably
C presumptuous
D is presumed
【正确答案】：B
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
副词应用。Suppose和presume均表“假定，认为”，但presume更侧重“猜想”；presuming作形容词时，与presumptuous是同义词，表“专横的”，但在本句中presuming不是形容词，而是分词，修饰形容词extinct，表“假定的”，故选项B．presumably“大概”是答案。
第14题
