A．Must B．Need C．Should D．Could
【答案】D
【详解】句意：我的车坏了。你能让我搭个便车吗？考查情态动词。Must必须；Need需要；Should应该；Could可以。根据“My car is broken.”可知车坏了，请求搭便车，用Could you please ... 句型表示请求。故选D。

A．Why don't B．Why not C．Why D．Let's
【答案】B
【详解】句意：——为什么不和我们踢足球？——我想去，但是我要帮我的妈妈做家务。考查情景交际和固定句型。由于空格所在句的句末是问号，排除D；用why来邀请某人做某事的句型是“Why not do sth ”或“Why don't you do sth. ”，A、C用法不正确。故选B。
7．（2020·天峨县教育局教研室八年级期末）—Would you like to watch the film with me

A．Yes, I’d love to B．No, I can’t C．Not bad D．I’m sorry to hear that

【答案】B
【详解】句意：——Tom是一个诚实的男孩子。——是的，这是为什么在他们班里他是最受欢迎的学生。考查冠词。a/an不定冠词，用在单数可数名词前，表示泛指和不确定的一个。a用在发音为辅音音素开头的名词前，an用在发音为元音音素开头的名词前。honest形容词，诚实的，发音是元音音素开头，boy为单数，所以第一空填an；形容词最高级前必须用定冠词the。most popular最受欢迎的，形容词最高级，所以第二空填the；故选B。
9．There are ________ students playing outside, but I have ________ homework to do. What a pity!
A. too many; too many B. too much; too much
C. too many; too much D. too much; too many
【答案】C
【解析】句意：有许多的学生在外面玩，但我有太多的家庭作业要去做，太遗憾了！考查形容词短语。too many中心词是many，意思是“太多的”，用法与many相同，用来修饰可数名词复数；too much中心词是much，后面跟不可数名词，意思是“太多的…...”；第一个空，后面是students可数名词复数，所以用too many来修饰；第二个空，后面是homework不可数名词，所以用too much来修饰；故答案选C。
10．—You look so tired today. What happened, Jack
—I didn't go to bed ______________12 o’clock last night because there was too much homework.
A. until B. though C. after D. beside
【答案】A
【解析】考查连词辨析。句意：——你今天看起来很疲倦，发生了什么事，杰克？——我昨晚十二点才睡觉，因为作业太多了。A. until到……为止；B. though尽管；C. after在……之后；D. beside在……旁边。not…until直到……才。根据句意可知，应选A。
