1.【解析】选C。考查冠词。句意：在上下班高峰期，在我们这个城市，租辆出租车去干要紧的事会是一个较好的选择。两个空都表示泛指。
2.【解析】选B。考查动词短语。句意：聪明的学生总会找到解决问题的好办法。come up with 提出，想出；come up to 达到；stick to 坚持；deal with 处理，对付。故B项符合题意。 3.【解析】选B。考查名词性从句和定语从句。promise后面的从句具体说明promise的内容，- 2 -
B. I don’t like it.
D. Don’t trouble.

因此该从句是同位语从句，用that引导；后面显然是非限制性定语从句，用which引导，先行词是前面句子的内容。句意：他许下的回来后就和她结婚的诺言结果是个谎言，这使得这个女孩极为伤心。
4.【解析】选C。考查形容词辨析。根据后一分句句意“他还有许多其他的工作要做”可以判定“他没有空做这个工作”。 grateful 感激的；suitable 合适的（与介词to连用）；available可获得的，可利用的，空闲的；convenient 方便的，便利的（主语不能是人）。 5.【解析】选B。考查非谓语动词。此题并非考查prevent. . . （from）doing这一结构。make sure. . . 说明前面谓语结构的目的；目的状语用动词不定式。句意：采取了很多有效的措施来防止污染，以确保武夷山旅游业有一个较好的环境。
6.【解析】选A。考查倒装句。so. . . that. . . 倒装结构为“so+形容词（副词）+助动词/情态动词/系动词be+that从句”，表示强调语气。该句sudden是形容词，说明主语，动词应该是系动词be，正常语序是The earthquake was so sudden that the residents had no time to escape. 。句意：地震来得太突然以至于居民没有时间逃跑。
7.【解析】选D。考查状语从句的引导词。句意：既然有些富人能轻易买得起东西，为什么他们还要偷东西？根据句意可知A、B、C三项都不符合语言逻辑。when此时表示“既然”，引导原因状语从句。
8.【解析】选C。考查形容词辨析。句意：朱丽叶是沃尔玛商场的常客之一，因为她住的地方离沃尔玛只隔两个街区。frequent频繁的（表示频率），符合句意。usual通常的，惯例的；normal正常的，正规的，标准的；gradual逐渐的，逐步的，渐渐的。
9.【解析】选C。考查短语。句意：你的拼写出了一些错误，但是总的来说还不错。above all首先，最重要的是；more or less或多或少；on the whole总的来说；on the other hand在另一方面。
10.【解析】选C。考查形容词。本句用形容词来说明the two brothers的状态，而不是他们动作的方式，所以应该用形容词来作状语。
【易错提醒】受习惯的影响，此题易错选B。副词作状语是理所当然的，副词作状语用来修饰谓语动词、形容词、副词以及整个句子。而形容词（短语）作状语表示原因、时间、伴随情况或结果，并不表达动作的方式，而是说明主语的状态或特征。例如：
Eager to improve farming conditions, they tried out this new crop on a large area. （原因状语）
他们急于改进耕作条件, 所以就大面积地试种了这种庄稼。 - 3 -
