A.There is no point           B.There is no need     C.It is no wonder          D.It is no way

—Father，you promised!

—Well，                   .But it was you who didn’t keep your word first.

A.so was I                       B.so did I                  C.so I was                           D.so I did

答案  D

解析  本题考查固定句式。“so+系动词/助动词/情态动词+主语”表示“……也……”；“so+主语+系动词/助动词/情态动词”表示“……的确如此”，由此及句意可知，A、B两项不对；上句为实义动词promised，下句应用助动词did，故选D项。

—                     and so did I.

A.So she had                           B.So had she                    C.So she did                 D.So did she

答案  C

解析  本题考查 “so+助动词+主语”与“so+主语+助动词”的意义区别。“so+助动词+主语”表示“某人做某事，某人也做某事”。而“so+主语+助动词”则表示说话人赞同对方所讲的话，或对前面所发生的事情表示确定。句意为：——玛吉在晚会上玩得很愉快。——是的，她很愉快，我玩得也很愉快。

D项正确。

答案  D

解析  本题考查强调句。强调句的基本结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that从句。句意为：我们在一起呆了几个星期后我才发现我们有许多共同之处。not...until...直到……才……。

3.(辽宁23)

I have been living in the United States for twenty years， but seldom                 so lonely as  now.A.have I felt                      B.I had felt                C.I have felt                  D.had I felt

答案  A
