1．Parents like to buy toys to keep their little babies________. A．amusing B．amused C．amusement D．being amused

答案： B

2．I repeated the telephone number a second time to my mother ________she could write it down.

答案： D

3．With lots of trees and flowers________here and there，the city looks very beautiful. A．are planted B．planted C．to be planted D．planting

6．The sports meeting has been put off________the heavy rain. A．because B．as a result

探索尚未知道的东西

C．as a result of D．as

答案： D

9．—Did you have a good time at the party? —Thanks.I appreciate________to your home. A．to be invited B．to have invited C．being invited D．having invited

My grandfather was a teacher.He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen.I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart，because when I was young (and he was old)，he gave me presents，and seated me on his knees，and told me stories，but I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.

At school，when he walked into a room full of noisy boys，there was silence at once.When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes，that boy went red in the face，and looked down at his shoes.If a boy brought him poor，careless work，which was not the best that boy could do，my grandfather picked up the boy’s book and threw it across the room，shouting，“Do it all again，and bring it back early in the morning！” If the boy was late，or if he forgot to birng the work，he had to do it again and again，and yet again.My grandfather never forgot.

If there is one person who has left a deep impression on me，it’s my teacher，Mrs Pathak，who was my class teacher for three years.In my childhood，how I wished I had a mother or a sister like her.One moment she could be tough (严厉的) and strict，another moment caring and compassionate (富有同情心的)．

She always encouraged us to tell the truth.For instance，if one had not done the homework，he need not lie.She allowed us to make mistakes，saying we couldn’t be perfect all the time，but we should try.
