a. in, c. the , d. at 都不能用在Thursday 前，只有b. on 能用在Thursday 前面，所以应该选b.6. a本句是以How long 引导的疑问句，应该用主谓倒置的疑问句语序，才合乎语法。
b. he will have been 是陈述句语序。
c. will havehe been 语序不对， d. will have been he 语序也不对，只有a. will he have been 是准确的疑问句语序，所以选a.7. b前一句的One is never too old to learn 中的One 是泛指代词，意思是“任何人”，“某一人”，本句需要选一个同One 意义相同的人称代词。

新概念英语第二册：第85课课文详解及语法解析
新概念英语第二册：第85课课文详解及语法解析课文详注 Further notes on the text1.Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending hima present to markthe occasion.为了纪念这个日子，学校的学生——无论老同学还是新闻学——将送他一件礼物。
(1)old andnew为pupils的非限定性定语，因为有逗号把它与句子的其他成分隔开，并且去掉它对句子的意义影响不大。
有时这种两个连用的形容词(或分词)相当于状语，这时它能够位于句子中间，也能够位于句首：The workers, thirsty and tired, took a rest under the trees.工人们又渴又累，在树底下休息了一会儿。
(thirsty and tired能够换到句首，相当于状语)The villagers here, young and old, are interested in gardening.这里的村民们，无论年轻的还是年长的，都对园艺感兴趣。
(2)mark本义为“给……作记号/留痕迹”，在这里表示“纪念”：He marked all the foods which were forbidden with a red pencil.他用红笔标出所有禁吃的食物。
2.All those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names ina large album…所有凑钱买此礼品的人都将把自己的名字签在一本大签名簿上……(1)contribute通常与to/towards连用，表示“捐给”、“提供给”：Before his death, he contributed a large sum of money to the church.他在临死前捐了一大笔钱给教会。
