--What is happening in that new area?

---New houses          over there.

are built

are building

have built

are being built

考查時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。句意：在那個(gè)新區(qū)域里發(fā)生什么事情了？那兒建起來(lái)許多新的大樓。根據(jù)第一句時(shí)態(tài)is happening 可知，時(shí)態(tài)用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，故第二句也要用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，主語(yǔ) houses與build 建立之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)（am/is/are being done），此處為are being built，故選D項(xiàng)。

Daniel has undertaken to keep the secret, so he won’t tell anyone even though ______.

asked to keep

to be asked

to ask

asked to

考查省略和過(guò)去分詞。句意：丹尼爾答應(yīng)保守這個(gè)秘密，所以即使問(wèn)他也不會(huì)告訴任何人。此處是even though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，從句主語(yǔ)和主句主語(yǔ)都是he，和ask之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，相同的主語(yǔ)和be動(dòng)詞可以省略，所以這里是過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ)，且ask sb. to do sth.可以省略與前面相同的部分，只留下動(dòng)詞不定式符號(hào)to。故選D。

You don't have to know the name of the author to find a book. You           find the book by the title.

must

need

can

would

考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞辨析。句意：你不需要知道作者的名字就能找到一本書。你可以按書名找到這本書。A.must必須，一定；B.need 需要；C. can可能；可能；D.would愿意。根據(jù)句意可知，此處表示一種客觀的可能性，應(yīng)使用情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can。故選C項(xiàng)。

It is said that railway station is now         large as What it was.

as twice

twice as

twice much

much twice

考查倍數(shù)表達(dá)法。句意：據(jù)說(shuō)火車站現(xiàn)在是原來(lái)的兩倍大。倍數(shù)的基本結(jié)構(gòu)一般為“A+倍數(shù)+as+形容詞或副詞的原級(jí)+as+B”，表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。聯(lián)系下文large as，此處用twice as large as 表示“是.....的兩倍大”。故選B項(xiàng)。

If you want to catch the first bus you'd better         for the bus station immediately.

set up

set about

set down

set off

考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析。句意：如果你想趕上第一班公交車，你最好馬上動(dòng)身去車站。A. set up建立；B. set about開始做.....;C. set down 記下；D. set off 出發(fā)，動(dòng)身。結(jié)合上文If you want to catch the first bus you'd better可知此處指“動(dòng)身，出發(fā)”，應(yīng)用set off。故選D項(xiàng)。

Every evening after dinner, if not ________ from work, I will spend some time walking my dog.

being tired

tiring

tired

to be tired

考查省略句。當(dāng)狀語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)和主句主語(yǔ)一致，且狀語(yǔ)從句中有be動(dòng)詞的時(shí)候，可以把狀語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)和be動(dòng)詞一起省略，本題if后面省略了I am，句意：每天晚上吃完晚飯以后，如果不是很累，我就會(huì)花點(diǎn)時(shí)間來(lái)遛狗。故C正確。
