参考答案:
1—5 BABCA 6—10 CBBCB 11—15 BBBDD 16—20 BBDCD 21—24 CABD
[部分试题解析]：3.B。前面已点明要买的东西，所以不能用what。which表示某一范围或某一事物中的“哪一个”。
7.B。考查不定式作状语，根据一般规律，在comfortable, pleasant, hard, difficult, easy等形容词后，不定式要用主动形式。
11.B。good后跟的是不定式to lie...，故前面不是do good to sb./sth.“对某人或某物有好处”句型，因此good只能是形容词，前面用系动词。根据题意，应用feels表示“感觉好”。It作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式to lie。
12.B。从句子结构分析，it作形式主语，whether引导主语从句。有待于“看”的是他们是否能够真正喜欢到国外旅行这件事情，表示将来的被动动作，应用不定式的被动式。
13.B。“可怕的声音”是跟随在“光的突然闪动”之后，因此“可怕的声音”是动作的发出者，是“主动”的；另外，从句子成分分析，此处应用动词的非谓语形式作后置定语,故用现在分词following，相当于定语从句which /that followed，答案Ｂ。
16.B。never thought表示“从来没想到……”，而C项didn’t think表示“不认为……”，显然B为最佳。
