4．C　during在……期间；before在……之前；at在某一时间点。beyond超过；比……晚。句意为：对不起，夫人。你最好明天再来，因为探视时间已经过了。

3．C　当not only置于句首时，前一个分句要倒装，后一分句不倒装。句意为：这项活动不但提高了公众的世界饥荒意识，而且也为贫穷孩子筹集了很多钱。

2．B　对应于前面的“most members” (大多数成员赞成这个建议)，only引导的应该是“少部分人反对”，所以用minority (少数)。majority指“大多数”；quantity和amount都表示“数量”，但与后面的谓语不相符。

1．D　句意为：你可以想像他们费多大事来解决正在讨论的问题。考查固定短语have trouble (in) doing sth.的变形及分词作定语的用法。being discussed“正在被讨论的”在句中作定语。

Love in a Box

When I was a little girl，I found love in a box all because of a class assignment.On a Friday night I__1__at the dinner table，“My teacher said we have to bring a box，a special box，for our Valentines (情人节) on Monday.”

Mother said，“We’ll see”，and she continued eating.

What did “We’ll see” mean？I had to have that box__2__my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster.Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my__3__.

All Saturday I waited__4__and with Sunday arriving，my concern increased，but I__5__an enquiry about the box might__6__anger or loud voice，for in my house children only ask once.More than that __7__trouble.

Late Sunday afternoon，my father called me into the kitchen.The table was covered with colorful__8__of different kinds.A(n)__9__shoebox rested on top of it.__10__flooded through me when Daddy said，“Let’s get started__11__your project.”

In the next hour my father__12__the shoebox into an impressive valentine box.Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts__13__to what I considered all the right places.He sang while he worked.When he finished，he was so delighted that a__14__smile spread over his face.“What do you think of that？” he asked.

I answered him with a hug.

But inside，__15__danced all the way to my heart.It was the first time that my father devoted so much__16__to me，for his world consisted of work only.

The holiday party arrived，and my classmates put cards，and presents into the valentine boxes.Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time__17__.

On the way home，I held out my valentine box for the world to__18__.The love that filled it meant more to me than all inside.

The valentine box became a symbol of his love that__19__through decades of other Valentine’s Days.He gave me other gifts through the years，but none__20__compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old，empty shoebox.
