1.Not until Dec. 2003 _____ caught by the US soldiers, and it was a great victory for the USA.
A. was Saddam Hussein
B. Saddam Hussein was
C. had Saddam Hussein been
D. Saddam Hussein had been
选A。 not until位于句首时，句子要部分倒装。而时间状语Dec. 2003暗示了要用一般过去时，故此只能选A。
exit是什么意思英语2. Be careful with such things. If you _____, you’ll drop them.
A. don’t    B. aren’t    C. won’t    D. do
选B。本题考查学生运用省略语法的做题能力。 完整的句子为：If you aren’t (careful)，you’ll drop them. 另外，条件状语从句用现在时表将来，所以排除了won’t。

— _____
— How can I get to the nearest post office?
A. Yes?                  B. That’s OK.
C. What’s wrong?        D. Pardon?

4. ___________ a fine day, Shenzhou VI will be launched on time according to its planned time.
A. Being  B. It being  C. To be  D. It is
选B。 本题考查独立主格结构。前一分句和后一分句在逻辑上存在因果关系，可以排除答案D。因为前面的分词的逻辑主语不可能是后面一个分句的逻辑主语，故前一分句要有一个逻辑主语it表示天气。
5. ---What’s the chief ______ of the world this year?
---I think the Twin- Tower was destroyed.
A. business  B. matter  C. event  D. affair
选C。 event 表示比较重要的事件；business表示一般性的事物，如经营方面的事情或生意等，也可以构成一定的短语，如on business, get down to business 等。matter指一般的需要解决的事情;affair指重大的国际、国内事物，经常用复数。

8. It will be five years ____ we meet again.
A. since        B. after          C. before      D. when
选C。 该题意为 “ 要过五年我们才能再见面”。如果选A, since 从句中常用动词的过去式,这是个终止动词表延续的句型。本句句型是 “ It will be +时间段+before” 从句。 意为 “ 要过多久才….” 。

A. I’d rather not do

A. week; tidily  B. weekly; orderly  C. the week; tidy  D. weeks; friendly

状态”，故此应该使用形容词作宾补，结合句意，应该是“他的《英语周报》报纸经常保存的井井有条”。
