1．________my dear teacher couldn't understand was ________ fewer and fewer middle school students showed interest in her lessons.

A．What; why B．That; what

C．What; because D．Why; that

答案与解析：A　第一空what引导主语从句且在主语从句中作understand的宾语，第二空只有填why才符合句意。

2．-May I have a look at your books?

-________.

A．By this means B．By all means

C．In this way D．By any means

答案与解析：B　问句是在请求，只有B项可表示"当然可以"，故选B。A、C 项表示"用这种方法"；D项表示"无论如何"。

3．It's very important for a student to ________ a good state of mind while taking the college entrance examination.

A．keep out B．keep on

C．keep up D．keep off

答案与解析：C　本题考查动词短语辨析。keep out 的意思是"使......在外面"；keep on 的意思是"继续做某事"；keep up 的意思是"坚持；保持"；keep off 的意思是"使......远离"。句意为"当参加大学入学考试时，对于学生来说，保持一个良好的心态是很重要的"。故答案选C。

4．Football is a________of a sharp mind and hard training rather than just talking.

A．mixture B．thought

C．time D．action

答案与解析：A　本题考查名词辨析。句意为："足球是敏锐的头脑和艰苦训练的结合"。thought意为"想法；思索"；action 意为"行动"；mixture 意为"混合；结合体"，符合题意。

5．When the headmaster spoke out his plan，the ________ of the students in the class ________against it.

A．majority; were B．most; were

C．most; did D．majority; did

答案与解析：A　most 的前面不能加the，排除B、C两项；固定短语be against 表示"反对"，故答案为A。

6．He has ________ housework to do，so he seldom goes to the cinema with his child.

A．a large number of B．a great many

C．a little D．a great deal of

答案与解析：D　本题考查短语辨析。housework 为不可数名词，要由a great deal of 来修饰；a little 也可修饰不可数名词，但与语境"没时间陪孩子去电影院"相反；a large number of 和a great many 只能修饰可数名词复数。
