[解析] 本题考查物主代词。空格后边是名词，故可以推断出应该填入物主代词。由题干可知，此处传入的是丝绸、印刷术、造纸术、指南针和火药，故物主代词应用第三人称复数形式，故选B。

In the sentence "It is no good reading in dim light ", the italicized phrase is ______.
A an object
B an adverbial

D a subject
该问题分值: 2.5
答案:D
[解析] 该题是语法结构题，考查动名词作主语的用法。
在句子“It is no good reading in dim light”中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是动名词短语reading in dim light。句子It is no use doing sth. 也是一样的句子结构，动名词作句子的真正主语。因此，选项D为最佳答案。

A&such good a
B&so good a
C&such good
D&a such good
该问题分值: 1
答案:B
[解析] 该题中mistaken做形容词，意思为“犯错的”修饰you。so good a chance意思是“这么好的一个机会”，chance是可数名词，so good一起修饰a chance. C选项中由于chance为可数名词，所以应为such a good。因此选B。
7.
He had a ______ look in his eyes, which meant that he **e up with a good plan.
A tricky
B keen
C shrewd
D sly
该问题分值: 2
答案:C
[解析] 形容词形异义近辨析。shrewd表示“精明的，机敏的”，如：a shrews businessman精明的生意人。注意shrewd和shrew的区别，后者是一个名词，意为“泼妇，悍妇”。
而tricky和sly都有“狡猾的”意思，表示欺骗，不诚实；keen指“(思想、感情等)敏锐的”。

People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens
had disappeared 1 . The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs 2 which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the 3 and into the sea.
Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem 4 it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther 5 . Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for 6 people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed 7 by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government 8 have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, 9 the problem from one area to another. The danger is 10 to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England.

[范文]
Economic development plays an important role in the improvement of people"s living conditions. However, rural areas seem to lag behind big cities in many aspects, such as per capita income and educational level.
With the gap between cities and rural areas widening, many people from rural areas tend to migrate to the big cities in pursuit of a better life. They want to seek for the well-paid jobs, receive a better education and so on. As a result, **petition for resources has become more and more severe and the urban infrastructure can"t accommodate the fast growing population. Traffic congestion in the cities can well illustrate this. These problems lead to the decline of the life quality of urban city dwellers.
Moreover, it may be difficult for those migrants who just settle down in big cities to adapt to the fast tempo and high prices in the cities. They are hard to enjoy the equal opportunities on many aspects, such as social benefits, education and so on. In addition, with more and more youngsters moving to urban cities, there is a shortage

They are hard to enjoy the equal opportunities on many aspects, such as social benefits, education and so on. In addition, with more and more youngsters moving to urban cities, there is a shortage
of working force in the rural areas, which further slows down the development of agriculture and economy in rural areas accordingly.
To solve these problems: the government should make preferential policies to promote the development in rural areas. For example, the government can offer more subsidies for farmers to increase their income. Creating more job opportunities for farmers could be another solution. In this way, the need for people moving to larger cities would gradually decrease.
