B.wearC.puton.

D.haveon參考答案：A這題考查近義詞辨析：這幾個詞都是穿衣服，BCD是及物動詞，dress可以用做及物也可以是不及物，表示“穿著”。句意是：因為是隨意的聚會，你告訴他們想怎么穿怎么穿。選A。3.Theincreaseofthenumberofthestudentsmakesthelimitedcomputersnot________toeachstudent.A．available

D.leavingaway參考答案：A略5.Youhavenoideahowshefinishedtherelayraceherfootwoundedsomuch.

A.forB.whenC.with

D.while參考答案：C提示:結合題目結構看,herfootwounded不是一個句子,因為腳受傷應當用被動結構,即herfootwaswounded,所以此處wounded應看作過去分詞,從而可以排除B、D兩項。英語中只有介詞with可以構成復合結構,即with+賓語+賓補。

B.that

C.aboutwhich

D.withwhom參考答案：D考查定語從句。句意：女性通常把她們最好的朋友當作她們可以經常談心的人。此處為定語從句，先行詞是someone，指人，在從句中作賓語，talkwithsb.表示“與某人談話”，故空白處用“withwhom”形式，故D項正確。10.MrsBrownissupposed__________forItalylastweek.A.tohaveleft
