參考答案：
1．C．該空格后是a long walk 作畫線詞的賓語，而take a walk 是慣用型結(jié)構(gòu)，表示去散步，而其它的動詞不與 walk搭配。
2．A． 被選項中有than出現(xiàn)時看句子前半部分是否有比較結(jié)構(gòu)。該空前面有一比較級的結(jié)構(gòu)：larger， 而這就暗示句子的后面部分可能有than 引出被比較的成分。
3．A．該空位于句首，在所在句中用作連詞（該空與所在句之間沒有逗號隔開。），再借助分句之間的句意關(guān)系判斷最后的選項。從句意上看：前一句說“這座城市比我想象的要大”，而空格所在句說“商業(yè)區(qū)比我想象的要小”，因此這兩句的句義有轉(zhuǎn)折。
4．C．四個備選答案都可表示原因，看原文：空格后是一從句，因此空格處需要引導(dǎo)從句的連詞，而初步來說A，B和C在語法上都合適。再仔細(xì)比較這三個選項：since和 as引導(dǎo)的表原因的從句往往有一逗號與主句分開，而because的語氣很強(qiáng)，其引導(dǎo)的從句不與主句分開。
5．B． much of和 most of分別修飾不可數(shù)名詞和可數(shù)名詞，原文中空格后是可數(shù)名詞，所以選擇most of。
6．A．四個備選答案均與open一詞相關(guān)，而open既可作形容詞用又可用作動詞，而形容詞表示狀態(tài)，具有延續(xù)性。原文中白宮從10點到12點的對公眾開放是屬于經(jīng)常性的動作，有延續(xù)性，因此選擇作形容詞的open。
7．A．四個備選答案均可用作副詞，而只有pretty修飾副詞，其它三個詞均修飾動詞。原文中該畫線詞是修飾副詞的，所以選擇pretty。
8．C．四個備選答案中有介詞，動名詞，和副詞。而畫線詞后是名詞短語，畫線詞前是一逗號與主句隔開，因此該畫線處應(yīng)引導(dǎo)表示伴隨狀態(tài)的結(jié)構(gòu)，所以用with。
9．C．空格前是ground（土地），因此選擇 cover，表示“占據(jù)”了多大的面積。
10．B．On each side是表示“每一邊”。
11．D．備選答案都是連詞?？崭窈笫且粡木?，空格前是一名詞，因此判定空格所在的從句應(yīng)為定語從句或同位語從句。選擇where。
12．C．name after是固定的搭配，表示“根據(jù)。。而命名”。
13．A．cloth是布料， clothes是衣服， clothing是衣服的總稱， cloths是指不同種類的料子。但該句中已經(jīng)有silk 限定，因此只能選A。
14．B．furniture是不可數(shù)名詞，因此說一件家具時，我們說 a piece of furniture， pieces of furniture是家具的復(fù)數(shù)形式， 其前面還可用many來修飾。
15．D．備選答案均為連詞?？崭袂笆菚r間名詞，空格后是一從句，因此該從句應(yīng)為定語從句，而when引導(dǎo)表時間的定語從句。
