1.D to attend不定式做定語，nor “也不”，句子要到裝。特別注意句子的時態及so 和neither/nor的區別。
2.C like 是介詞，後跟名詞，as為連詞，後跟從句。
3.D be pleased with 對…感到高興。pleasant的用法等同於pleasing(令人高興的)。
4.A far, even, a lot 都可修飾形容詞的比較級。
5.C “the + 比較級…， the + 比較級…”表示“越…就越…”，前者表條件，後者表結果。
6.A tell the difference between A and B 說出A和B的區別，tell在這裡是“分辨”的意思。
7.D do well in “在…方面做得好”，have trouble with“在…方面有困難”。
8.D which 引導非限制性定語從句。如果空缺處前面有and 一詞，則C項就正確了。
9.A agree with sth.在某一點上和某人意見一致。
10.C 句子的主語為The day，謂語為 came, I looked forward to為定語從句修飾 the day。
11.B 第一空為“接通電話”，第二空為“考試及格”。
12.B 第一空用sitting 或seated都可，表示“坐著”。fix one’s attention on…表示“專心於”。
13.C fix…at…(money)表示“以…價格（出租）”。
14.C 人感到激動時用be excited ; set off (for)意為“到某地”。
15.A 當主語後面帶有but, with, as well as等短語時，謂語動詞要與前面的主語一致。根據本句的意思應用被動語態。
16.A 該句考查定語從句的用法，意為“我們上四節課的時間是上午而不是下午”。
17.D long since “很久以前，很久以來就…”，常用於現在完成時。
18.A cut off “切斷一切…的供應”。本題題意為：他父母停止供應他錢，因此他陷入困境中。
