I. 单项选择(15分)
1. Not only Li Lei but also his parents _____ able to swim.
A. is B. are C. can be D. could be
【解析】选B。can和be able to都意为“能”,不能同时用于一个句中,先排除C、D两项;另not only. . . but also连接并列主语时,谓语动词以but also后面的主语为依据。故选B。
2. —I usually go to bed late at night. And you?
—_____ .
A. So I do B. So do I C. So am I D. So I am
【解析】选B。“So+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语”表示“……也是如此”。
3. The composition is good _____ a few spelling mistakes.
A. but B. except that
C. except for D. besides
【解析】选C。except for表示说明整体基本情况后,再对细节加以纠正;通常前后并非同一类事物。
