1．－________of China? －Its about 1,300,000,000. A．Whats the population B．How many is the population C．How much is the population D．Whatre the population 解析：问人口多少，要用what，而不用how many或how much；另外population作主语，谓语动词要用单数，所以A项正确。 答案：A 2．－Whats wrong with Jenny? －A call from her mother ________ an attack of homesickness. A．sent out　　　 　　　　B．set out C．set off D．sent off 解析：句意：——詹尼怎么了？——她妈妈打来了电话，引起了她的思乡病。本题用set off表示“引起”。send out发送，派遣，放出；set out出发，陈述，摆列；send off寄出，派遣，解雇，给……送行。 答案：C 3．Dont forget to ________ the windows before going to bed.Theres going to be a storm tonight. A．clean B．keep C．adjust D．fasten 解析：考查动词辨析。根据第二个句子“今晚将有暴风雨”可知此处表示要关好窗户，因此用fasten，意为“闩住，关上”。 答案：D 4．The number of students in our class ________more than 50 and the majority of them ________from the countryside. A．are; is B．are; are C．is; are D．is; is 解析：考查主谓一致。the number of...……的数量；……的人数，用作主语时，其谓语动词应用单数；the majority of...……的大多数，用作主语时，其谓语动词取决于of后面的名词，此时them＝students，是复数可数名词，其后动词显然应用复数，故应选C。 答案：C 5．They cant afford to ________ their laboratory with advanced instruments，so some experiments cant be carried out. A．decorate B．furnish C．equip D．install 解析：句意：他们负担不起给实验室配备先进的仪器，所以一些实验进行不了。decorate装饰；furnish配备家具；equip装备；install安装。 答案：C 6．Having walked in the desert for several days，they felt exhausted，but they had to find a pool before the water they had in the bottle ________.
