1.There is no reason they should limit how much vitamin you take, any more than they can limit how much water you drink.他们没有理由限制你服用多少维生素，正如他们不能限制你喝多少水一样。
The law cannot legislate filial responsibility any more than it can legislate love.法律不能给爱情制定法律，更不能为子女的义务而立法。
2.When she heard the bad news, her eyes sparkled with tears as she struggled to control her emotions.她听到这个坏消息时，眼中闪烁着泪花，尽力控制着自己的感情。
sparkle意为"闪烁"，常与目光搭配，与with连用，指闪烁着道道光亮；twinkle意为"闪烁"，指星星等的闪烁；radiate 意为"放射"，指发出光或热，也可指人显露出某种神情；glitter意为"闪耀"，指星星、金银宝石等闪烁。

此句中crossfire是主语，“between the committee members and the Pentagon representatives, which had been called in to explain the defense strategy”是主语的修饰语，因此谓语动词应该用单数形式。
从“which had been called …”得知，句子的基本时态是过去时，所以选A。
9. California has more light than it knows _____ to do with but everything else is expensive.A. whatB. howC. whichD. where参考答案：ATIP：考查动词不定式。
本句中的but连接两个并列句。
在前半句修饰light的定语从句内部，“疑问词（what）+不定式（to do with）”构成动词know的宾语。
what可以看成do的宾语，理解为“know what to do with (the light)”，因此选A。
