8．去掉第一个to。考查动词不定式符号to的省略。句型“Why not...？”中not后的动词要用原形。

7．will→would。动词时态错误。主句谓语动词用了过去时，其宾语从句也要用过去时态。

6．去掉about。考查介词的用法。about后没有宾语，故它在此处是多余的。

5．cheap→cheapest。形容词错误。句意：即使最便宜的搬家公司也要价太高。

4．√

3．paid后加for。介词漏用。pay意为“付给”，后接人或钱作宾语；pay for意为“支付……的货款”，宾语为物。此句为被动语态，宾语everything前置。由上下文可知everything在此处指物，故应在paid后加for。

2．so→too。副词误用。由下句可知，该图书馆变得过于庞大，不得不搬到新馆，说明是“过大”了，应用副词too。

[答案]

1．the→a。冠词误用。这里的“problem”是第一次提到的，应用不定冠词a。

[答案]

本文是以感冒病毒的口吻写的一篇文章。这篇文章意在让人们明白：平时要注意保护好身体，以防感冒病毒的侵袭。

1．C。前后两句话之间是转折关系，即人们经常会因我而生病，可是他们却不能批评我。

2．D。因为主要是他们自己的过错，所以他们不能批评我。根据上下文内容可知，只有D项符合语境。one’s own fault表示“某人自己的过错”。

3．C。get caught的本义是“被抓住，被困住”。这里的意思是：疲劳的人容易被感冒病毒困住，即容易感冒。

4．A。根据第一段最后两句话及常识可知，本题应该选A。气温的突然变化，会导致人感冒。

5．D。根据上文内容可知，这个学生放学后又踢了两个小时的球，当然应该很累了。因此D项合理。第一段A tired person may get caught有暗示。

6．C。injure“伤害，损害”；bother“打扰”；attack“攻击，袭击”；destroy“破坏，毁灭”。根据文章内容可知，C项正确，即趁机袭击这个学生。

7．B。get rid of表示“摆脱，消除”，即这个学生想要摆脱感冒病毒。其他几个选项不符合语境。get on with“和……相处”；put up with“容忍，忍受”；take hold of“抓住”。

8．A。由already和下文的there are too many of us可知这里选reproduce，表示“再生，繁殖”。

9．D。这句话的意思是：虽然他穿上了一些暖和的衣服，可是没有用……前后两句间是让步关系，用although“虽然”引导从句。

10．B。由常识可知，感冒时的嗓子疼痛让他很是不安。

11．D。由but可知应选failed，即他没有成功地将感冒病毒赶走。

12．C。根据上文可知，这是个学生，因此本题选C，即他不能上学了。

13．C。由上文的energetic推知他很活跃，但感冒以后，他不像以前那样活泼了。

14．A。他妈妈给他补充维生素C是为了帮助他恢复健康，故选A。其他选项不合题意：development“发展”；study“学习”；growth“生长”。

15．B。nurse表示“护理，看护，照料”，即他的妈妈照料了他两天。

16．C。loss“损失”；operation“手术”；pressure“压力”；movement“运动”。根据上下文内容可知，显然C项正确，即他的抵抗力增强了，“我”感到了压力。

17．A。即不久就必须要离开这个学生了。

18．D。根据前面一句话可知--“我”不想轻易地放弃，努力地还击，可不幸的是，现在轮到“我”感到痛苦了(就像上面提到的孩子的痛苦一样)。

19．A。即现在轮到“我”感到痛苦了。

20．B。根据后面的finally my time was over可知B项正确，即“我”变得越来越虚弱了。

15．B
