月的萧条之后，正在好转。]

6．-Did you enjoy yourself at the party?

-Yes，I've never been to ________one before.

A．a more excited B．the most excited

C．a more exciting D．the most exciting

答案　C　[考生易误选A项或D项，其实本题是对形容词比较级及动词­ing、动词­ed型形容词的考查。动词­ed型形容词表示被动的含义，多用于说明人的感受，意为"(人)感到......"动词­ing型形容词表示主动的含义，多用于说明事物的性质，意为"令人......"。由于题中的one指代party，为表示事物的词语，故选项A和B首先被排除；分析句意"我还从没有去过比这更让人兴奋的聚会"可知，横线处应为一个比较级结构，故选项C为本题的正确答案。]

7．What puzzles me is ________he was a thief when you first saw him.

A．how you could tell B．how could you tell

C．what could you tell D．what you could tell

答案　A　[句意：使我迷惑不解的是，你怎么会第一眼看见他就判断他是个小偷呢？考查名词性从句，名词性从句用陈述语序，因此B和C可以排除。根据句子结构可知is后是表语从句，从句中又包含一个宾语从句，he was a thief是tell的宾语，因而不用what，故选A项。]

8．Everyone in the village hoped that he would________after a few days' treatment.

　　A．pick up　　　　　　　　 B．come up

　　C．keep up D．make up

答案 A [句意：村里的每一个人都希望他能在几天的治疗后好转。pick up好转，恢复；comp up走上前来，发芽，发生；keep up保持；make up编造，弥补，化妆，构成。故A项符合句意。]
