(1分)A、alittlepotissoonhotB、awatchedpotneverboilsC、cheerfulcompanyshortensthemilesD、forgiveandforget正確答案選項：參考答案：B解析

考查情景交際。Aalittlepotissoonhot量小易怒；Bawatchedpotneverboils心急吃不了熱豆腐；Ccheerfulcompanyshortensthemiles旅有好旅伴，不覺行程遠；Dforgiveandforget既往不咎；句意：難道你不知道心急吃不了熱豆腐嗎？無論他們早或晚，朝窗外看著并不能使他們快點到來。B項符合語境。考點：考查情景交際3、—Didyouenjoythefilmlastnight?HowdoyouknowIwenttoseeafilm?I（）youanything.(1分)A、won'ttellB、didn'ttellC、haven'ttoldD、don'ttell正確答案選項：參考答案：B解析考查一般過去時的否定句。句意為：“你喜歡昨晚的電影嗎?——你怎么知道我去看電影了?我什么也沒告訴你啊。”根據問句“Didyouerjoythefilmlastnight?”可知用的是一般過去時態，可以推斷出tell這個動作也發生在過去，所以應用一般過去時，其構成是：主語+謂語動詞的過去式，否定式是：主語+ddn't+動詞原形。故選B。4、Ofallthestorybooks,Ilikethisone（）.Itisnotinterestingatall.(1分)A、verymuchB、thebestC、verylessD、theleast正確答案選項：參考答案：D5、--Whowill_______thebabywhenyourauntisaway?--Nobodybutme.
