1.正確答案：A
答案解析：表述永恒的真理或客觀規(guī)律用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，不管主句謂語用什么時(shí)態(tài)。而“地球繞著太陽轉(zhuǎn)”是客觀規(guī)律，所以選A.
2.正確答案：C
答案解析：reluctant“不愿的，勉強(qiáng)的”：“他非常不愿意去，但他別無選擇”，所以，reluctant用于本句合適。Hesitant“躊躇的，猶豫的”;ready“準(zhǔn)備好的”;willing“愿意的”。
3.正確答案：A
答案解析：以分?jǐn)?shù)限定的名詞做主語時(shí)，謂語的單復(fù)數(shù)應(yīng)同該名詞保持一致，而不管分?jǐn)?shù)是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)。此句中property(財(cái)產(chǎn))是不可數(shù)名詞，故用單數(shù)形式的動詞。
4.正確答案：C
答案解析：nothing…more than是習(xí)慣用語，意思為“什么也比不上…更…”。句子意思為：記住，什么也比不上讀得太慢更傷害注意力的集中了。
5.正確答案：B
答案解析：本句是帶有不定式短語作目的狀語的簡單句。句意為“許多人都投入了身體鍛煉計(jì)劃，以保持良好的健康”。make a commitment“投入，保證”符合題意。
6.正確答案：B
答案解析：句子意思為“科學(xué)家能注意到大多數(shù)人注意不到的許多事物”。
7.正確答案：C
答案解析：空格前后句子的意思是相反的，由此可知空格處應(yīng)該用一個(gè)表示轉(zhuǎn)折的詞。in spite of是介詞短語，后面不能跟從句;despite是介詞，也不能引導(dǎo)從句。in that意思是“既然，因?yàn)椤保环暇湟?。所以只有C項(xiàng)正確。句意：她通過了考試，雖然她沒怎么用功。
8.正確答案：B
答案解析：句中用了but，表示轉(zhuǎn)折，所以A答案錯(cuò)誤。either表示“(兩個(gè)中的)一個(gè)”，也不符合句意。neither表示兩者都不，符合句意。none是指三者以上的人或物，而句子中說的是the twins，是兩個(gè)人，所以也不正確。句意：父親希望這對雙胞胎成為醫(yī)生，但他們沒有一人喜歡學(xué)醫(yī)。
9.正確答案：D
答案解析：as if引導(dǎo)的是與現(xiàn)在事實(shí)相反的虛擬。
10.正確答案：B答案解析：at the price of是固定搭配，意思是：以…的價(jià)錢。
