A. a; a B. the; a C. a; the D. the; the
【答案】C。
【考点】考查冠词的用法。
【解析】第一空填不定冠词，因为what a pity为惯用表达，又如：What a pity you won’t be back before I leave! 在我离开以前，你不能回来，真遗憾! 第二空填不定冠词，表特指，即特指自己所获之奖。
7. Dr. Smith, together with his wife and daughters, ________ visit
A. is going to B. are going to C. was going to D. were going to
【答案】A。
【考点】考查时态和主谓一致的用法。
【解析】当句子主语后面跟有together with…这类介词短语时，其后的谓语仍与主语保持一致，而与together with…短语无关，故本句的谓语动词应用单数，故可排除B和D；再根据句末的this summer可知，答案应选A而不选C。又如：Jim, together with his classmates, has seen the film. 吉姆和他的同学都看过这部电影。

【解析】根据英语习惯，在It / This / That is the first / second time+(that)…句型中，从句一般用现在完成时。句意为：这是我们作为一家人第一次在电影院看电影。又如：This is the first time I’ve seen you wearing a dress. 这是我第一次看到你穿一件连衣裙。

A. of which B. with which C. about which D. into which
【答案】C。
【考点】考查定语从句的用法。
【解析】当一个定语从句由“介词+which”引导时，其中介词的确定方法就是要找到与之构成搭配的动词、名词、形容词等。在本题中，根据句意，句子所涉及的搭配是argue about a subject（争论某个话题），所以答案只能选C。又如：I called him by the wrong name for which mistake I apologize. 我叫错了他的名字，为了这个错误我愿道歉。
12. I still remember ________ to the
A. to take B. to be taken C. taking D. being taken
【答案】D。
【考点】考查非谓语动词的用法。
【解析】从句意上看，“我”与“带去法门寺”之间为被动关系，即“我是被带去法门寺”，所以首先应排除表示主动意义的A和C；再从语法上看，remember后接不定式或动名词均可，但有区别：接不定式表示记住去做未做的事，接动名词表示记住已经做过或发生过的事，根据句意和句子中saw用的是一般过去时可知，应用动名词，即答案为D。

15. A notice was ________ in order to remind the students of the changed lecture time. (2009陕西卷)

【答案】D。
【考点】考查短语动词的用法。
【解析】对于考查特定语境中词语用法的考题，最好的方法是代入翻译法，即将四个选项分别代入句中再翻译原句，哪个选项使原句最通顺，哪个选项就是最佳答案。四个选项的意思分别为：sent up意为“发射”；given up意为“放弃”；set up意为“建立”；put up意为“张贴”。根据句意，只有D最合适。句意为：他们张贴了一张通知，提醒学生们更改后的讲座时间。又如：If you want to call a meeting or anything, put up a notice. 要想召集会议什么的，就要出个通知。

【解析】当陈述部分含有表示推测的must时，其后的反意疑问句应与must后的动词保持一致。如：He must be mad, isn’t he? 他一定是疯了，不是吗？/ He must have gone home, hasn’t [didn’t] he? 他准是回家去了，是吗？/ He must have left here yesterday, didn’t he? 他一定在昨天就离开这儿了，不是吗？注：当“must+have+过去分词”不连用具体的过去时间状语时，反意问句通常用完成式，有时也用过去式；但是若连用了具体的时间状语，通常只用过去式。

A. did Rose care B. Rose did care C. Rose does care D. does Rose care

【解析】由于little含有否定意味，所以当它置于句首时，其后的句子要用倒装句式。又如：Little does he care whether we live or die. 他一点也不管我们的死活。Little did they know they were to be reunited ten years later. 他们一点没想到10年后竟又能团聚。比较：He little realizes how important this meeting is.=Little does he realize how important this meeting is. 他不怎么明白这个会议的重要性。
