I prefer a flat in Inverness to       in Perth , because I want to live near my Mom’s .

A. one     B. that         C. it       D. this

【详解】考查代词的用法。one表示泛指，相当于“a(an)+名词”，代替的是同类事物中的“一个”；that表示特指，相当于“the+名词”；it所代替的是前面提到过的同一事物；this表示近指。故选答案A。

-----Did Mr Black resign his post as principal?

  -----No,________ was telling a lie.

  A. whoever told you that   B. those who told you that

  C. No matter who told you  D. Anyone told you that

 A 句意：Mrs Black 辞去校长职务了吗？没有，不管谁告诉你的，他都在说谎。Whoever引导的主语从句，相当于anyone who。如果选B，则those作主语，谓语应用were。 C项引导让步状语从句，不能引导主语从句；D项错误，应改为Anyone who told you that。

第二节：读写任务（共1小题，满分 25分）

阅读下面的一封信，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Recently I took part in an English speech contest and successfully went into the final. That day, I thought I had done a good job. At that moment I even had a strong feeling of being the champion. But my dream was soon shattered when my final score was announced. I stood in the hall, feeling empty-minded and puzzled. My memory went back to when I was in junior middle school. I took part in a similar speech contest. I was too proud of myself. I was not well prepared, so it ended up as a total failure. But this time should be different! I had spent a lot of time tailoring each word. Why was it all in vain and I had to be a loser again? Very frustrated, I swore not to take part in this kind of competition again.

I was just about to leave when a well-known TV host suddenly said to me he did appreciate my speech. On hearing this, I was filled with mixed feelings---partly surprised, partly excited, partly sad, but there was one thing I am certain about---I did feel something warm and comforting floating inside my body. I never knew a few words and a kind smile could be so inspiring that I suddenly realized that frustration, sorrow, happiness and inspiration are treasures to make life more meaningful. It is these elements that make life real.
