一、单项填空
1．—Mom，I lost ______ diamond ring you bought as my birthday present.
—I’ll keep______ eye on it when I clean your bedroom.
A．a；an B．the；an
C．the；the D．a；the
解析：第一个空特指“你买给我做生日礼物的那个”，因此用定冠词the；第二个空考查固定搭配keep an eye on“留意，密切注视”。
答案：B
2．It’s warned by scientists that polar bears will become extinct this century，which will be a loss for mankind that no amount of money could ______.
A．stand up to B．make up for

解析：考查动词短语辨析。make up for“补偿，弥补”；stand up to“经得起，勇敢地面对”；come up with“赶上，提出”；put up with“容忍，忍受”。句意：科学家们警告说北极熊的灭绝将会是人类的损失，这种损失是多少金钱都弥补不了的。

解析：考查冠词。句意：根据这部新的法律，中国将在食品安全方面建立强制性标准，该标准涉及了广泛的领域，从添加剂的使用到安全和营养标签。第一个空显然是特指这部新的法律，用the；第二个空是泛指，表示“一个”广泛的领域，故用a。
答案：A

答案：D
7．It can’t be a(n) ______ that two banks were robbed in one night.
A．incident B．coincidence

—Well，the wings of the plane are ______ of its body.
A．more than the length twice

C．more than twice the length
D．more twice than the length
解析：考查倍数表达法。这里表达的意思是“机翼比机身的两倍还要长”。一般表示倍数的词放在最前面，即“倍数＋名词＋of...”，而该句中的twice前面还有more than修饰，故C项符合。
答案：C
11．—Did your classmate accept your invitation?
—No，he ______ refused.
A．as far as B．as well as
C．as soon as D．as good as
解析：考查固定短语。as good as为固定短语“实际上，几乎等于”。答语句意：不，他实际上就是拒绝了。
答案：D
12．Whatever do you consider ______ to her?
A．happened B．happening
C．to happen D．happens
解析：do you consider 是插入语，happened是句中的谓语动词。不要看成consider doing结构。选项B是陷阱。

A．it’s up to you B．it makes sense
