1. B根據文意，這里應選擇一個詞或詞組，修飾可數名詞，表示"一些"，比較四個選項，只有a few符合條件，為正確選項。

2. D把某物還給某人，可用give sth. back to sb. 或return sth. to sb.來表達，細看句子，只有D 項正確。

3. A根據上下文可知，這個女士在稿件被退還時，看到那三頁依然黏在一起，應當感到非常惱火,故選an^y₀

4. A分析句子，這里應選擇一個疑問副詞，在句中做方式狀語，表達"你怎么知道這篇故事不好"之意，比較四個選項，應選How。

5. C比較主從句中兩個動作的先后關系，可知叢句應用before引導。

6. B比較四個詞，lesson意為"功課，教訓"；test 意為"檢測，測試"；question'意為"問題"；thing 意為"事情，東西"。根據句'意,應選   B.

7. B句意為"當稿件被退回時，那幾頁依然黏在一起"，只有still合乎句意,為正確選項。

8. D比較四個選項，只有way可用來表示"方式，方法"。

9. C at breakfast為固定結構，意為"在吃早飯"。

10. D don't have to do sth. = needn't do sth.意為 "不必干某事"。
