第一节　单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

21．To the great disappointment of the poor workers，a great part of their wages were ________ by the boss for no good reason.

A．kept away　　　　　 B．kept off

C．kept up　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．kept back

答案与解析：D　此题考查动词短语辨析。keep away“使……不靠近”；keep off“不接近，不接触”；keep up“使某物不落下；(雨，雪，好天气等)持续不停”；keep back“阻止；不将某物付给某人；隐瞒”。句意：使这些贫穷的工人非常失望的是，他们的大部分薪水毫无缘由地被老板扣掉了。由句意可知D项正确。

Dear Stephen，

It's very kind for you to write me and let me know about your beautiful city.Now I'd like tell you something about my hometown Zhengzhou.The city stood on the bank of the Yellow River.It is a beautiful place for people to live in.Its economy has been developing rapid in the past ten years.New factories，houses and roads have built.More schools and hospitals are available for its people.Therefore，there is still some problems，such as air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.In my opinion，Zhengzhou should develop their economy scientifically.I would also thought that the growth of its population should be brought under the control so that we'll have a better hometown in future.
