--What is happening in that new area?

---New houses over there.

are built

have built

are being built

考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意：在那個新區(qū)域里發(fā)生什么事情了？那兒建起來許多新的大樓。根據(jù)第一句時態(tài)is happening 可知，時態(tài)用現(xiàn)在進行時，故第二句也要用現(xiàn)在進行時，主語 houses與build 建立之間是被動關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在進行時的被動語態(tài)（am/is/are being done），此處為are being built，故選D項。

---what shall we do tonight then?

--- whatever you want.

Help yourself

No problem

It's a deal

It's up to you

考查交際用語。句意：---我們今晚做什么。---由你決定，你想干什么都行。根據(jù)空格后的 whatever you want，以及句意可知空格處填I(lǐng)t's up to you由你定。故選D項。

考查語音。句意：下面哪個不包含這個發(fā)音[ae]? grade的發(fā)音是[greId]; glad的發(fā)音是[glaed]; bad的發(fā)音是[baed]; land的發(fā)音是[laend]。故選A項。

句子使用的基本句式為so…that…結(jié)構(gòu)。按英語語法，當(dāng)該結(jié)構(gòu)的so…置于句首時，其后的句子(主句)要用倒裝語序，如：So loudly did he speak that even people in the next room could hear him. 他講話聲音那么大，隔壁屋里的人都聽得見。

One of the man holds the view the book said was right.

that

whether

what that

that what

考查同位語從句及主語從句。句意：其中一個人認為這本書說的是對的。分析句子可知，the view后面接了一個同位語從句（ the book said was right.），從句句子成分齊全，應(yīng)使用that 引導(dǎo)，連接詞在從句中不做成分，無意義。在同位語從句中又有一個主語從句（ the book said），在主語從句中said 缺少賓語，應(yīng)用what 引導(dǎo)，指代“......的（事情，東西）”。故選D項。
