A. For the first time B. At first
C. It was the first time D. The first time
【解析】选D。the first time相当于连词,可以引导一个时间状语从句,意思是“第一次做……的时候”,for the first time是介词短语,在句中充当状语。It was the first time后面可以跟从句,但是通常要使用完成时态。

A. well B. good C. best D. better
【解析】选D。考查比较级。这里的“不戴眼镜”她看起来好得多,暗含着与她“戴眼镜”进行比较。形容词比较级可与much、even、far等连用。
3. I looked at her and she ________ furiously back.
A. glared B. gazed C. looked D. glanced
【解析】选A。句意:我看了她一眼,她便怒不可遏地回瞪我。glare怒视;gaze目不转睛地看; look普通意义的看;glance瞥了一眼。根据题意可知,此题选A。
4. With so much work ________ his head all day long,he feels rather stressed in his daily life.
A. filled B. to fill C. filling D. being filled
【解析】选C。句意:整天这么多的工作充斥着他的大脑,他感到日常生活中压力非常大。much work和fill之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词的形式。
5. —Where did you meet the famous actress
—It was in the supermarket ________ we went shopping last Sunday.
A. which B. that C. where D. there
【解析】选C。此题考查的是定语从句和强调句的结合。此题的答语部分实际上是一个省略句的形式,完整的形式应该是:It was in the supermarket _______ we went shopping last Sunday that we met the famous actress. ,从句子可以看出,此强调句中被强调的部分含有一个定语从句,其先行词是the supermarket,在定语从句we went shopping last Sunday中充当地点状语,故引导此定语从句的引导词应该使用where。

A. confused B. confirmed
C. condemned D. conformed
【解析】选B。句意:已经确定刘易斯的下一场拳击赛将对阵布鲁诺。confuse使糊涂,使迷惑;confirm确认;condemn谴责,指责;conform符合,顺从, 遵守。根据句意可知,此题选B。

Dior was born in Normandy in 1905,
and his family’s original plans for him
included a career in the diplomatic service,
but by the time he was twenty-three,with
his parents’ money,he opened a small art gallery in Paris. By 1931,the money had been used up. Dior’s friends in the art gallery, asked him to draw and he took his first step at designing and drawing. His first job was with Lucien Lelong from whom Dior learned his craft(手艺).
In February, 1947. Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac,who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing,but he was good at fashion design.
The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust(胸围),usually with a low-cut neckline and a long, full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New look was a great success. For people were tired of tile extremely plain,wartime restrictive fashions.
It is said that dresses by Dior were “constructed like buildings” but young people were attracted to his design,and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged(投入)into the production of his new style. Dior’s revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion,rounded,gentle,feminine. a delight in elegance. A New Look House of Dior opened in 1948,followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture(women’s clothing)for years, the Dior empire grew until it covered every country in the western world,and included furs,hosiery, jewelry, perfumes, men’s wear and on and on. More than 1, 000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then.
His sudden death in 1957 when he was 53 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death,his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world,and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world. His first,great New Look,with its long skirts was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s.
