1.She
thought I was talking about her
daughter, _____, in fact, I was
talking about my daughter.
A.whom B.where C.which
D.while
解析］本题考查并列连词while的意义。while作连词可表示时间，意思是“当……时候；在……同时”，如：My wife kept silent while I was writing. 也可表示让步，意思是“虽然；尽管”，如：While I understand your opinion, I don't agree with you.还可表示转折对比，意思是“然而；但”，如：He observed that feathers fell to the ground slowly, while stones fell much faster.(他观察到羽毛落地缓慢，而石头降落得快得多。)根据本题上下文的含意可知答案应选D，意为“她以为我在谈论她女儿，而事实上，我是在谈论我的女儿”。
答案：D
2.You will _____ his address; he is well-known in this area.
A.have no difficulties finding B.have no difficulty to find
C.find not difficult to find D.have no difficulty finding
解析］本题考查“做某事有困难；做某事费力”这一英文表达方式。表示这一意义时，英语常用“have(some, any, much, a little) difficulty(in) doing sth.”或“there is(some, much, a little) difficulty(in) doing sth.”，这两个句型中的“difficulty”用作不可数名词，介词in可省略。还可用“find it difficult to do sth.”来表达，其中it是形式宾语，不能丢掉。因此该题答案应选D。
答案：D
3.The reason why he came late was _____ he was caught in a heavy rain.
A.that B.which C.because D.for
解析］本题考查英汉表达上的不同。汉语中的“原因是因为……”，在英语中要用“The reason is that…”来表达，不可用“The reason is because…”。这也是中国学生学习英语时常犯的错误，是用汉语的表达方式去套英语所造成的。所以我们学英语时要多掌握英语的习惯表达法。该题题意是“他迟到的原因是因为遇上了大雨”。
答案应为A。
4.When will you _____ the entrance examinations，next June or next July?
A.join B.join in C.take D.take part in
［解析］本题考查“参加”这一意思的英语表达法。英语中的join; join in; take; take part in; attend等均可译为“参加”。join指参加一组织、党派、团体或成为一群人、一个球队、一场游戏中的一成员，相当于become a member of。如：join the Party; join the army; join us; join the football team。join in指参加一小型活动。如：join in the morning exercise; join in the discussion。join sb. in sth.则表示“和某人一起做某事”，如：join the children in their game; join us in the basketball match。take专指“参加考试”;take part in指参加一大型活动，如：take part in the World War; take part in the Long March等。
因此该题答案为C。
5.I’ll never understand how it _____ that you were an hour late on such a short journey.
A.came across B.came about C.came into D.came along
［解析］本题考查短语动词的意义。come across(偶然)遇到，碰见；come about发生，产生；come into进入，得到；come along进展，进步，好转，快点，加把劲。根据该题的题意“这么短的路途，你竟然迟到了一个小时，我真不明白这是怎么发生的。”可知答案为B。题干中的it是形式主语，代替后面的that从句。
答案：B
