4.Some of the apples 　　　　　the tree are hard to reach.　

A.in　　　　　　　　　　　 B.at

C.on　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D.of

提示:苹果长在树上,用介词on。　

答案:C　

3.There 　　　　　the basketball final in the sports center this afternoon.　

A.will　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.is

C.is going to have　　　　 D.will be　

提示:题意是“今天下午在体育中心将有篮球决赛”。C项如果改为is going to be,则是比D项更为合适的答案。因为will表示将来时,如果是非人称代词作主语,通常是泛泛的表示将来如何,没有太强的计划的意味,而be going to则有些安排的成分在内。　

答案:D　

2.There is 　　　　　milk in the fridge.Let’s go and buy some.　

A.a little　　　　 B.little

C.a few　　　　　 D.few

提示:从后面“让我们去买些来”可知,牛奶很少了;又milk是不可数名词,所以要用little。few,a few是可数的；little,a little是不可数的。a few,a little含肯定意味；few,little含否定意味。这里所谓的“肯定意味”和“否定意味”应该这样来理解:同样是半杯水,口渴者会认为:There is little water in the glass.“杯子里没多少水”;而不口渴的人则会认为:There is a little water in the glass.“杯子里有一些水”。　

答案:B　

1.Sandy didn’t do her homework very 　　　　,so her parents are shouting at her 　　　　.
