所以应该选b.
4. a

若选b. him took 不合乎语法,因为him是宾格,不
能做主语。

d. he was taken 是被动语态,不合乎题目意思。
所以应该选a. he took (他花的时间)

合乎语法,所以选c.
8. d
本句需要对主语Copper (铜)作出准确的解释说明。
a. stone (石头);b. marble (大理石);c. wood (木材);d. metal (金属)4个选择中,只有d. metal 能说明copper 的属性,所以应该选d. metal.
9. c
只有选c. for a special purpose (特意)才与前面的句子It
was specially constructed(专门建造的).a. in particular(尤其,
特别) b, particularly(详细地,尤其地,特别地), d. on purpose(故意)这3个选择都不如c. for a special purpose (为了特定的目的)
意思更完整,贴切,所以选c.
10. b
本句需要选一个与前一句中的名词a site (一块场地)含义相符合的词或短语。
a. A land (陆地,土地,地方); b. A plot of land (一块地);c. A property (资产,不动产);常用复数形式;d. An

a. put off (推迟);b. put over (推迟,耽搁,把……运

d. is an agent for (是……
的代理人)中,只有b.与前一句的is a symbol of 含义最接近,所以
