C． is; putting
D． be: with

① Note that when expressing "a quarter of an hour", it is generally not a quarter alone, but a quarter of an hour.In a quarter past ten (a quarter past ten), a quarter to ten (a quarter to ten), if it exceeds a quarter past a certain hour, use past; if it is a quarter of an hour before a certain hour, Then use the preposition to.Example: It is about a quarter past nine.It's about a quarter past nine. ② 1/4 is a quarter or one quarter, 2/4 is two quarters or a half.

The parsed answer is C. Out of question means "without a doubt", and out of the question means "impossible or impossible". There is no question but that. ． ．It means "...is beyond doubt", where but can be omitted.Pay attention to the difference with problem.

Means "to ask someone a question" is ask sb. a question or ask a question of sb. , instead of asking a question to sb. , but it may be put a question to sb. .

This is because of means the source, which means "get the answer to the question from someone"; and to means to give it to someone to answer, so it is used together with put.Example: (×) May I ask a question to you? (√)May I ask a question. (√)May I put a question to you.May I ask you a question?

We won't have our sports meeting if it——tomorrow.

A． rains B． will rain C． rained D． the rain
(Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 2001)
Analysis sentence meaning: If it rains tomorrow, we will not be able to hold the sports meeting.The answer is A.This question examines the usage of if.In the compound sentence introduced by if, if the main clause uses the simple future tense, then the subordinate clause uses the simple present tense.

① rain is usually used as an uncountable noun, but if there is an adjective before rain, an indefinite article can be used at this time. ②rain can also be used in plural form.Heavy showers or monsoons. ③Rain can be used as both a noun and a verb.It is better to say heavy rain rather than a big rain.Similarly, wind and snow should not be decorated with big, but a strong wind and a heavy Snow should be used.

Example: There was a heavy rain last night.It rained heavily last night.

or rather rather / rather than; non / would rather rather / would rather. ． ． Than would rather... rather than unwilling / rather too slightly; a little

①rather can be used before comparatives and too, but fairly cannot. Fairly cannot be used with verbs or nouns.Example: I did rather better this time.I did a little better this time. ②When rather than connects two components as the subject, the number of its predicate should be consistent with the number of the previous subject.Example: The teacher rather than the students is to blame.The teacher is to blame, not the student. ③rather itself already has a comparative meaning, so the comparative level cannot be used.

Example: (X) I trust you more rather than him. (√)I trust you rather than him.I trust you more than him.

A． reached, on B． came to, in C． arrived，on D． got at, on

When it is used in the perfect tense, it cannot be used in conjunction with an adverbial expressing a period of time.Example: (×) I have reached Shanghai for more than a month. (√) I reached Shanghai more than a month ago. (√)I have been in Shanghai for more than a month.I have been in Shanghai for more than a month.
