B.an;a C.an;the D.the;the【答案】A【解析】【详解】句意：地球是所有人唯一的家园。让我们努力把它变成一个更环保的世界。考查冠词的用法。根据“only”可知，第一空表示“唯一的家园”，应用定冠词the表示特指；再根据“greenerworld”可知，第二空表示“一个更环保的世界”，且“greener”以辅音音素开头，故应用不定冠词a。故选A。22.—Didyoufeel________waswrongofJacktohidetheicbooks?—Yes.Itisimportant________aboytolearntoshare.Athat;of B.that;for C.it;of D.it;for【答案】D【解析】【详解】——你觉得Jack把漫画书藏起来是错误的吗？——是的。对一个男孩来说学会分享是很重要的。考查it的用法和介词。根据“Itisadj.todosth.”可知，第一空it符合句意；根据“important”可知，修饰的是“learntoshare”这件事，因此用介词for“对……来说”。故选D。23.LearningEnglishinaclassroomisimportant,whileusingEnglishinreal_________willimproveyourEnglishskillsgreatly.A.positions
