答案以及解析
一、单选题
1.答案：B
解析：本题考查a，an, the的区别。不定冠词表示泛指，定冠词表示特指。不定冠词a(an)，是"一个"的意思。a用于辅音音素前，而an则用于元音音素前。根据题意"我上周买了一个闹钟。"可知表示泛指，因此应用a或an，又因alarm的第一个音素为元音音素。故选B。
2.答案：B
解析：句意：有人经常在隔壁唱歌。根据句意可知是经常发生的事情，需要用一般现在时，不定代词做主语看做单数。所以谓语动词用第三人称单数。故选B。
3.答案：D
解析：A.such后跟名词或名词短语。B.相当的C.很，非常D.so后跟形容词或副词，本题中的scared是形容词，本题考查so...that的用法。故选D。
4.答案：B
解析：句意：这头小象重多少？至少50磅，因为它每顿吃好多。故选B。
5.答案：B
解析：句意：他喜欢打网球，他不喜欢散鼓。此题考查定冠词，play+球类，play+the+乐器类。故选B。
6.答案：C
解析：句意：—李平的房间和你的房间，谁的房间更大？—他的房间。但是我的房间更洁净。分析选项：you你，人称代词主格或宾格形式；your你的，形容词性物主代词；yours你的，名词性物主代词；yourself你自己，反身代词。明确在询问你的房间，因此用名词性物主代词。故选C。
7.答案：C
解析：句意：我认为他没有告诉我真相。他只是编造了一个故事。考查名词。A.date日期；B.passage段落；C.truth真相；D.silence沉默。根据后句的意思，推断出空处的词应为“真相”。故选C。
8.答案：B
解析：此题考查连词的用法。句意：当Davy给我打电话的时候，我正在睡觉。until直到……；when当……时候，跟短暂性延续性动词都可以；while当……时候（后接进行时），只跟延续性动词；because因为。根据题意，是时间状语从句，因为主句动词是came，短暂性动词。排除while。故选B。
9.答案：D
解析：句意为：—为什么不到河里游泳呢？—不行。我们的老师告诉我们不要在这儿游泳，这样危险。tell sb to do sth是固定动词搭配，表示“告诉某人做某事”，其否定形式是tell sb not to do sth。故选D。
10.答案：B
解析：句意：—我们去机场接你妹妹好吗 —我认为没必要。她会打出租车过来。 see off送别； pick up拾起，接人； look after照看；come across偶然碰到。根据答句可知，应答者的妹妹会打出租车过来，由此可推知，问句问的是是否去机场接对方的妹妹。故选B。
