答案： 7.B 考查情景交际。句意：——你交电话费了吗？——电话费？它还没到期呢。I mean it我是认真的；That isn’t due yet那还没到期；My telephone is out of order我的电话坏了；Please remember the amount请记住金额。根据“Have you paid the telephone bill?”和语境可知，此处表示电话费还没到期，不用支付。故选B。

8. The number of extra-curricular activities and teachers my interest increasing.

A.which arouse; are
B.who arouses; is
C.that arouses; are
D.that arouse; is

答案： 8.D 考查定语从句和主谓一致。句意：引起我兴趣的课外活动和教师的数量正在增加。分析句子结构可知，第一空为定语从句的关系词及其谓语动词，其先行词是extra-curricular activities and teachers，指人和物，为复数概念，关系词只能用that，谓语动词应用原形；第二空为主句的谓语动词，当“the number of+可数名词复数”作主语时，其谓语动词用单数形式，所以此处应用is。故选D。

9. With the new machine, they no longer have to a large number of temporary workers to do the harvesting.

A.take up
B.take in
C.take on
D.take after

答案： 9.C 考查动词短语。句意：有了这台新机器，他们不必再雇用大量的临时工来收割了。take up占用，开始从事；take in吸收，收留；take on雇用，呈现；take after(外貌或行为)像(父或母)。根据“a large number of temporary workers”和语境可知，此处表示雇用大量的临时工。故选C。

A.has played
B.were to play
C.had played
D.played

答案： 10.B 考查动词时态。句意：我们公司生产的电脑卖得很好，但几年前没有人能想象到它们在市场上所扮演的角色。根据“several years ago”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，结合“could have imagined”和语境可知，此处表示站在过去的角度，想象未来将会发生的动作，所以句子时态应用过去将来时。故选B。

11. It's terrible. My car break down just as we were going on our holiday.

A.might
B.would
C.could
D.must

答案： 11.D 考查情态动词。句意：太糟糕了。我的车偏偏在我们打算去度假的时候出故障了。might可能，也许；would将会，could可以；must偏偏，非得要(指说话人对发生的事情表示不满)。根据句意可知，说话人准备去度假，结果车子此时却出故障了，所以此处应用must表达说话人的不满。故选D。

12. her mother after being separated for 20 years, she couldn't help, even though she tried not to, .

A.Seeing; crying
B.To see; cry
C.Seen; crying
D.Having seen; cry

答案： 12.A 考查非谓语动词。句意：分别20年后(再)见到她母亲，尽管她努力克制，但还是忍不住哭了。分析句子结构可知，第一空应用非谓语动词作状语，动词see和逻辑主语she之间为主动关系，且根据句意可知，此处没有体现目的性或动作的先后，所以应用现在分词形式；can’t/couldn’t help doing忍不住做某事，为固定搭配，所以第二空应用crying。故选A。

13. Every great accomplishment rests on the of what came before it. When you trace it back, you'll see a small step that started it all.

14. Fortunately, somebody who happened to be passing by called the fire department B the fire broke out.

A.hurriedly
B.instantly
C.quickly
D.shortly

答案： 14.B 考查词义辨析。句意：幸运的是，火灾一发生，一位碰巧路过的人就给消防局打了电话。hurriedly匆忙地(副词)；instantly立刻(副词)，一……就……(连词)；quickly迅速地(副词)；shortly马上(副词)。分析句子结构可知，设空处前后均为完整的句子，所以此处应用连词instantly。故选B。

15. When I try to understand prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect, it seems to me that there are two causes.
