【答案與解析】

1. 選A。hair 可用作可數或不可數名詞，用作可數名詞時，指一根一根的毛發或頭發，如說 There’s a hair in my soup (我的湯里有根頭發)；用作不可數名詞時，則是整體地指一個人的頭發。

2. 選B。需根據句意來分析。have no sense of direction 意為“沒有方向感”。

3. 選B。需根據句意來分析。attempt 在此表示“嘗試”。

4. 選B，由于上文說 didn’t have to work，所以下文相應的語境應是 did it by choice。類似地，下面一題應選D，也是因為choice與下文的have to do it 相呼應：

Were you given a _____, or did you have to do it?

A. job                                                      B. duty

C. request                                                 D. choice

5. 選 B。注意其后的 to the party 和 replied to it。

6. 選C。value 指“價值”。

7. 選C。make sense of 意為“明白”、“理解”。比較：make sense 意為“有意義”、“意思清楚”、“有道理”。如下面一題選D：

What he told us about the situation simply doesn’t make any ______.

A. use                                                      B. reason

C. value                                                   D. sense

8. 選B。miss one’s turn 電為“錯過機會”，注意下文的 …have to wait for the next round 所表示的語境。

9. 選D。it’s no wonder (+that從句)的意思是“難怪”，也可說成 No wonder (+that從句)。

10. 選D。directions 的意思是“使用說明”，空格前的 refer to 意為“查看”、“參考”。

11. 選D。room 為無生命名詞，不用 room’s 這樣的所有格形式，在此可直接用名詞作定語。類似地，下面一題要選B，也是一樣的道理（名詞作定語通常用單數不用復數）：

The boy was very happy that his mother bought him a new pair of shoes at a ______ yesterday.

A. shoes shop  B. shoe shop  C. shoes’s shop  D. shoe’s

12. 選C。在通常情況下，專有名詞具有“獨一無二”性，因此它通常沒有復數形式，即不可數。但是，專有名詞的獨一無二性有時是相對的，隨著范圍的擴大，這種獨一無二性便會受到破壞。如在一個星期(week)內，只有一個星期六(Saturday), 一個星期日(Sunday)等，但是在一個月中甚至一年中，便有多個星期六，多個星期日了。所以我們有時可以說：We have spent many happy Sundays there. 我們在那兒度過了許多個愉快的星期日。另外一點值得注意的是，與一般的名詞單數變復數不同，以“輔音字母+y”結尾的專有名詞，其直接加詞尾-s，而不將y改為 i。(www.hz123456.com)

13. 選D。從常識來考慮，electricity 屬于 energy，結合全句的語境，只有D最合適。同樣地，下面一題從常識和語境來考慮也應選D：

(1) Some countries are increasing their use of natural gas,  and other forms of ______.

A. source                                                  B. material

C. power                                                  D. energy

(2) The ______ has become extremely tense. A war could break out any time between the two sides.

A. pollution                                              B. friendship

C. condition                                              D. situation

14. 選A。ins and outs 意為“細節”，dos and don’ts 意為“注意事項”，heads or tails 為擲錢幣打賭時用語，意為“你賭正面還是賭反面”，p’s and q’s主要用于 mind one’s p’s and q’s，意為“留意自己的言行”。結合句意，選A最合適。

15. 選C。從語法上看，news 不可選，因為它不可數；從意義上看，D不可選，因為選D意思不通；比較A和C，選C最合適，因為 start與下文的 a second 相吻合。
