the population of working age increased by 1 million between 1981 and 1986, today it is barely growing. A. Whereas B. Even if C. After D. Now that A 前后两个句子是对比关系: increased和barely growing, 而even if表示让步“即使”; after表示时间;now that表示原因, 故只有whereas正确。 His features were agreeable; his body, slight of build, had something of athletic outline. A. somehow B. as C. though D. somewhat C though 表示让步, 意为“虽然”，全句的意思是: “他的长相挺好, 身体虽然瘦小, 但有点儿运动员的样子。”somehow“不知怎么”、“不知什么原因”。as 可以引导让步从句,但句子结构要倒装, 不用于省略句, 因此在此处不合适。somewhat“有几分”、“有点儿”, 没有让步意味。 By the first decade of the 21st century, international commercial traffic vastly beyond today’s levels. A.will be expected to extend B. will have been expected to extend C.is expected to be extended D. is expected to have extended 　　 D 句子讲的是 “人们期待到21世纪前10年时,国际性商业航空交通远远超过当今水平”, 人们现在就期待, 而不是将来期待, 所以A、B是错误的; 另外, 表示到将来某一时刻为止已经完成的动作或出现的状态, 应用将来完成时, 按句意, 是指extend这一动作的完成, 所以应该在不定式上体现出来。根据上述分析, 选D符合句意要求。 　　 We advocate the economic, cultural and religious traditions of all national minorities.

A. pulling B. pull C. pulled D. to pull 　　 A pulling是现在分词在句中做horses的定语, 相当于which pull。 　　 Today the Tennessee Valley is one of the richest areas in the world. But if things as they were it would now be a desert. A. had left B. were left C. had been left D. had been leaving 　　 C had been left表示与过去事实相反的假设 “如果情况还像以前那样”。 　　 After twenty years abroad, William came back only how his hometown was damaged in an earthquake. A. to find out B. finding out C. to have found out D. to be finding out A 不定式to find out做结果状语,有意想不到的含义。不定式表示结果时, 用其一般式即可。 Relaxation, _______ fresh air, pure water and clean food, is essential to a sound mind and healthy body. A. much less than B. no less than C. no more than D. any less than 　　 B no less than “与……同样(重要)”。全句意为:
