一、单项填空
1．—I heard that eight Chinese peacekeepers died in Haiti Earthquake.
—Yes，______ news came as ______shock to us.
A．the；the B．a；the
C．the；a D．/；a
解析：考查冠词用法。句意：“我听说有八位中国的维和部队队员在海地地震中丧生。”“是的，那个消息传来时我们都惊呆了。” 第一个空特指“那条消息”用定冠词the；第二个空shock此处是可数名词，a shock表示“大吃一惊”。
答案：C
2．An actor cannot well play the role without life experience ______ more than a dancer can make a difference without much practice.
A．any B．no
C．not D．much
解析：any和前面的not构成“not any more than＝no more than”短语，意思是“和……一样不”。句意：一个没有生活经验的演员和没有大量实践的舞蹈演员一样，不会扮演好自己的角色。
答案：A
3．—What time do you think is convenient for our next meeting?
—You make ______.______ day is all the same to me.
