Answer:A

Explanation:“Lotus”是指“蓮花”，是一種生長在水中的植物。B選項“Loti”不是一個常見的英文單詞，與植物無關(guān)；C選項“Lotos”可能是“Lotus”的拼寫錯誤，且不是標準英文單詞；D選項“Lute”通常指的是一種中世紀的弦樂器“琉特琴”，與植物無關(guān)。因此，正確答案是A。4、I_____havefinishedmyhomework,butIforgottobringittoschool.A.shouldB.couldC.mightD.would

Answer:A

Explanation:在這個句子中，“shouldhavedone”表示“本應(yīng)該做某事但實際上沒做”。句子的意思是“我本應(yīng)該已經(jīng)完成我的作業(yè)，但我忘記把它帶到學(xué)校來了”。B選項“could”通常用于表示可能性或過去的能力；C選項“might”也用于表示可能性，但語氣比“could”更弱；D選項“would”常用于表示過去的習(xí)慣或意愿。根據(jù)句子的語境，A選項最符合。5、_____isknowntoallisthattheoldscientist,for_____lifewashardinthepast,stillworksveryhardinhiseighties.A.What;whomB.As;whoseC.It;whoseD.What;whose

Answer:C

Explanation:這個句子表達的是“盡管我們年輕，但我們應(yīng)該努力工作”的意思。在選項中，只有“As”可以引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句，表示“盡管”的意思，符合句意。而“Because”表示原因，“Although”也表示盡管，但通常用于句首，“So”表示結(jié)果，都不符合句意。10、He_______havefinishedhiswork;otherwise,hewouldn’tbewatchingTVnow.A.shouldB.mustC.can’tD.mightn’t

Answer:B

Explanation:句子中使用了“otherwise”表示轉(zhuǎn)折，意思是“否則”，說明前半句是在表達一個肯定的推測。在選項中，“musthavedone”表示對過去事情的肯定推測，意為“一定做過某事”，符合句意。而“shouldhavedone”表示本應(yīng)該做某事但實際上沒有做，“can’thavedone”表示對過去事情的否定推測，“mightn’thavedone”也表示對過去事情的否定推測，但語氣更委婉，都不符合句意。11、_____thebook,theoldmanfellasleep.A.ReadingB.ToreadC.ReadD.Havingread
