Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1．It was snowing heavily. The homeless children felt cold, so they stood ________(close) to each other.
答案：close 考查close的用法。句意：天下着大雪，那些无家可归的孩子们感到冷，所以他们紧紧地站在一起(互相取暖)。
2．—May I trouble you with the question?
—Sorry, but it is ________ my knowledge.
答案：beyond 考查固定搭配。beyond意为“超出”，beyond one's knowledge为固定搭配，意为“超出某人的知识范围(解答不了)”。
3．We'd better consider all the possibilities ________ advance before we work out the plan.
答案：in 考查介词短语。句意：在制订计划前我们最好事先考虑所有的可能性。in advance“预先；提前”，与句意相符。
4．The old woman is warmhearted. She is always ready to help ________ is in trouble.
答案：whoever 考查宾语从句。句意：这位老妇人很热心，不管是谁遇到麻烦她总是乐于帮忙。分析句子成分可知，设空处引导一个宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，因此用whoever。
5．________ did we forget to turn off the lights in the kitchen, but we also failed to lock the front door.
答案：Not only 句意：我们不仅忘记关厨房的灯，而且也忘了锁前门。not only位于句首时，其后的成分要部分倒装。
