B．tolockC．locked D．beinglocked答案C[考查过去分词短语作状语。根据句意“把自己锁在你的屋子里度过一周的时间”，即lockmyselfinyourroom，lock与主语I之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作状语，表示方式。]4．Don’tforgetto________thewindowsbeforegoingtobed.There’sgoingtobeastormtonight.A．clean

D．ones答案A[考查代词。根据句意可知，此处应用that指代“theair”。that常常用来代替前面已提到过的名词，以避免重复，它既可以代替不可数名词，也可以代替可数名词的单数，故选A项。]10．Thetruthisthat________helpingthesituation，you’vejustmadeitworse.A．farfrom B．outofC．dueto D．nextto答案A[考查介词短语辨析。farfrom的意思是“远非，几乎相反”，符合语意“事实是，你所做的对当前情形毫无帮助，反而把事情弄得更糟”。]11．It’simportantthatweshouldshowconsiderationforothersifwearetolive_______theminsociallife.A．inconnectionwith

B．putawayC．putupwith D．putforward答案C[考查动词短语辨析。句意为：很多父母能够忍受他们自己孩子的不好的行为，却不能容忍别人的孩子的不好的行为。根据句意可知，空处的意思应与句中“tolerate”的意思相同，表示“忍受”。故putupwith容忍，忍受，符合句意。putup建立，张贴；putaway将……收起；putforward提出。]14．MrGreen，Jennyhasetoseeyou.She________foryouinyourofficenow.A．willwait
