【參考答題及解析】
1. 答案：C
解析：be used to do sth. = 過去常做什麼事。由於句中有一個過去時間分句，所以應該選C。題意：孩提時，我們常在市鎮廣場上玩耍。
2. 答案：B
解析：現在進行時可以表示某種感情色彩，如讚揚、厭惡、埋怨等。這時，句中常出現表示頻率的副詞，如always、forever 等。根據本題空當前後內容以及四個選擇項中都包括forever 一詞判斷，本句含有一種埋怨的感情色彩：他總是杞人憂天。因此排除A 和C。B 和D 區別在於副詞的位置。表示頻率的單個副詞作狀語應置於助動詞與行為動詞之間。因此B 為正確選擇。
3. 答案：B
解析：worth 後一般接動名詞，且動名詞主動形式可表示被動意義，因此，此題正確選擇為B。
4. 答案：D
解析：do away with 作“廢除、去掉”解。根據題意，機器應被處理掉，因此do away with 應為被動式，由此得出正確選擇D。題意為：公司在開完董事會後決定，工廠裡的舊機器應該處理掉。
5. 答案：
解析：題中otherwise 為訊號詞，這意味著本句為虛擬句，類似的詞或片語還有without 、but for 、but that 等。題意為：我當時頭痛，否則我就會去聽講座了。
6.解析：屬於It´s high time that sb. did sth. 這一句型，先確定謂語動詞是過去時，再考慮語態和主謂一致的問題。
7. 答案：B
解析：注意倒裝句型和連詞前後的平衡表達法原則。
8. 答案：B
解析：表示否定意義的副詞置於句首時，句子要求倒裝。據此，可將C 和D 排除。A 和B 的`區別在於時態。因為句中有時間狀語before that night ，所以feel 這個動作在時間上屬於“過去的過去”，動詞應用過去完成時。據此，A 可排除，得出B 為正確選擇。題意：在那晚之前我從未感到我的威力有多大。
9. 答案：D
解析：for a purpose 是固定搭配，意為“為了##目的”。所以從句中的關係代詞which 前須有for。
10. 答案：B
解析：so … as … 和such … as… 作為連詞，引導比較狀語從句。如as 前為一可數名詞並且有形容詞修飾，so 後一般接形容詞，such 後一般接不定冠詞，如so big a problem, such a big problem ，據此，得出B 為正確選擇。
11. 答案：B
解析：稍作分析，即可看出此題為一強調句，強調的部分為句子的狀語。如強調句強調部分為狀語，It´s … that … 結構中的that 不可用其他詞代替。因此B 為正確選擇。
12. 答案：C
解析：此題顯然為一強調句，強調的部分為賓語補足語，在It is (was) that … 結構中，如強調的是名詞或代詞，那麼that 可以用which(指物)或who 、whom (指人)代替。本題中強調的是一職位，因此可用which 代替that，C 即為正確選擇。
13. 答案：A
解析：fifty dollars 雖為複數形式，但它被視作一個整體，即一筆錢，因此，謂語動詞應是單數形式。因此排除B，得出A 為正確選擇。C 和D 均不合題意。
14. 答案：B
解析：and 並列兩個名詞，如只有一個限定詞或沒有限定詞，它們常常表示一個概念。truth and honesty 雖為兩個單詞，但表示一個概念，因此謂語動詞用單數，A 由此可排除。C 和D 亦可輕易排除。題意為：真誠總是上策。
15. 答案：C
解析：在find sth. done 句型中，過去分詞作後置定語。
