Answer:D

Explanation:在这个对话中，第一个人说“恐怕你打错号码了”，接着第二个人道歉并需要确认自己确实犯了错误。选项A“Isee”表示“我明白了”，但不符合道歉的语境；选项B“I’mnotsure”表示“我不确定”，但在这里已经明确知道号码错误，所以不适用；选项C“I’mafraidnot”通常用于委婉地拒绝或否定某事，与道歉不符；选项D“Iwaswrong”直接承认了错误，符合语境。6、Iwasbusywithmyhomework,otherwiseI_______outwithmyfriends.A.wouldgoB.hadgoneC.wentD.wouldhavegone

Answer:D

Explanation:这句话是一个表示与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句。主句中的“wasbusywithmyhomework”表明过去的一个事实，而“otherwise”引导的是一个与过去事实相反的假设条件。在这种情况下，从句应该使用“would/should/might/couldhavedone”的结构来表示对过去事情的假设。因此，正确答案是D，“wouldhavegone”，表示“否则我就和朋友们一起出去了”。其他选项都不符合虚拟条件句的结构要求。7、Completethefollowingsentencewiththecorrectformoftheverbinbrackets.

Sheinsistedthatshe________(be)rightaboutthesolutiontotheproblem.

Answer:be

Explanation:Inreportedspeech,whenexpressingdemands,wishes,orsuggestions,it’scommontousethesubjunctivemoodwith“insist.”Thecorrectformhereis“be,”whichfollowsthesubjunctiveusage“(should)+baseformoftheverb.”9.Thecat,__________oftensitsinthesun,hasalong,thicktail.A.whoB.whichC.thatD.it答案：B

解析：此题考查定语从句的关系词。关系词在定语从句中作主语，指代前面的”Thecat”。选项B“which”在这里作为关系代词，正确地引导定语从句，指代先行词”thecat”。其他选项A“who”和C“that”通常用于指代人，而D“it”不能引导定语从句。10.Bythetimewearrived,the__________hadalreadyfinishedtheirwork.A.teamB.groupC.classD.family答案：C

解析：此题考查名词的辨析。根据句意，我们需要找一个表示一个集体名词的词，这里指的是到达时已经完成工作的一群人。选项C“class”指的是学校的一个班级，符合句意。A“team”通常指一个团队或小组，B“group”指的是一组人，D“family”指的是一个家庭，这些选项都不如”Cclass”更符合句子的集体含义。五、简答题（本大题有5小题，每小题2分，共10分）1.Question:
