Answer:A

Explanation:“Lotus”是指“莲花”，是一种生长在水中的植物。B选项“Loti”不是一个常见的英文单词，与植物无关；C选项“Lotos”可能是“Lotus”的拼写错误，且不是标准英文单词；D选项“Lute”通常指的是一种中世纪的弦乐器“琉特琴”，与植物无关。因此，正确答案是A。4、I_____havefinishedmyhomework,butIforgottobringittoschool.A.shouldB.couldC.mightD.would

Answer:A

Explanation:在这个句子中，“shouldhavedone”表示“本应该做某事但实际上没做”。句子的意思是“我本应该已经完成我的作业，但我忘记把它带到学校来了”。B选项“could”通常用于表示可能性或过去的能力；C选项“might”也用于表示可能性，但语气比“could”更弱；D选项“would”常用于表示过去的习惯或意愿。根据句子的语境，A选项最符合。5、_____isknowntoallisthattheoldscientist,for_____lifewashardinthepast,stillworksveryhardinhiseighties.A.What;whomB.As;whoseC.It;whoseD.What;whose

Answer:C

Explanation:这个句子表达的是“尽管我们年轻，但我们应该努力工作”的意思。在选项中，只有“As”可以引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”的意思，符合句意。而“Because”表示原因，“Although”也表示尽管，但通常用于句首，“So”表示结果，都不符合句意。10、He_______havefinishedhiswork;otherwise,hewouldn’tbewatchingTVnow.A.shouldB.mustC.can’tD.mightn’t

Answer:B

Explanation:句子中使用了“otherwise”表示转折，意思是“否则”，说明前半句是在表达一个肯定的推测。在选项中，“musthavedone”表示对过去事情的肯定推测，意为“一定做过某事”，符合句意。而“shouldhavedone”表示本应该做某事但实际上没有做，“can’thavedone”表示对过去事情的否定推测，“mightn’thavedone”也表示对过去事情的否定推测，但语气更委婉，都不符合句意。11、_____thebook,theoldmanfellasleep.A.ReadingB.ToreadC.ReadD.Havingread
