【答案与解析】
1. D 根据句意，中国健儿在雅典奥运会上的胜利给全中国人带来了极大的快乐和鼓舞。全中国人民，显然特定，“极大的快乐和鼓舞”即用不定冠词表示抽象名词具体化。故选D。
2.B 表示在你提醒“我”之前，“我”并不知道，故用一般过去时。
3.A 句中that为副词，相当于so修饰形容词expensive。
4.B snowing hard outside即it is snowing hard outside的省略，不可误为祈使句。
5.A 上文已暗示了地点Macao 或Hong Kong，故用where合题意。
6.B 句意：听到Tom头几句话，女孩的脸一定显得惊讶又快乐，否则Tom决不会往下说的。这是一个含蓄的虚拟条件句，可以理解为：If the girl’s face had not shown….., what Tom said would never have broken out(来自www.).
7.C 第二句话表示极度的惊讶：天啦，你决不会遗漏东西的。A项表示过去的过去，与题意不符；B、D项即没留下，不表示惊讶。
8.C主句的主语是he，即为ask动作的承受者“别人问他”，故用过去分词短语作状语。
9.B only与状语连用放于句首，主句的谓语动词须用倒装。又句中有be able to所以不可能还用can 搭配。
10.A lead to导致；result from由……引起；lie in在于；settle down定居。
11. D nowhere near是一个固定短语，意为“远不是、远非”。
12. B if only意为“如果”，常常用来引导一个表示条件的状语从句。
13. D occur to常用来表示一个主意、想法、计划等的形成、产生。其后接表示人的词语。它的主语只能是表示主意、想法等的词语。
14. B some other day意为“别的什么日子”。
15. A on the whole是一个评注性的状语，意为“总体上”。
