7.The young boy devoted lots of time________the stars at night，making him a famous astronomer years later.
A．to observe B．to observing

霍金寫道，從另一方面說，科學家知道他們的工作是永無止境的，即使最好的理論都有可能被證明是錯誤的。
②(牛津P2174)The job turned out to be harder than we thought.
這工作結果比我們想像的要難。

在新電腦方面她有許多困難，但是她不知道向誰求助。

即境活用
10．We wanted to get home before dark，but it didn’t quite________as planned.
A．make out B．turn out
C．go on D．come up
解析：選B。make out理解，看出；turn out原(是)……，證明(是)……，結果(是)……；go on繼續(xù)；come up長出，發(fā)芽，出現。由語境“我們原打算在天黑之前到家”可推測出，后面句子表達的是“事情發(fā)展并不像那樣”，故用turn out。
句型梳理
1.【教材原句】 (P3)(There did not seem) much point in working on my PhD—I did not expect to survive that long.
繼續(xù)攻讀我的博士學位看已經沒有多大意義了——我沒指望活那么久。
【句法分析】 句型There is no point in doing sth.表示“做某事沒有作用或意義”。
①(朗P1568)There’s no point in paying rent on the apartment if you’re not going to live there.
如果你不打算在那兒住，付房租就沒有任何意義了。

12.________for us to discuss the problem again.It has al?ready been settled.
A．It has no doubt B．There has no doubt
C．It is no need D．There is no need
解析：選D。There is no need to do sth.沒必要做某事，后半句的already settled 提供了暗示。
2.【教材原句】 (P7)By asking why，how and what if，curious minds find new ideas and solutions.
有好奇心的人通過探詢所以然，如何然，設想前因后果就可以獲得新思想，找到解決問題的方案。
【句法分析】 what if倘使……將會怎樣；即使……又有什么要緊
①(朗P2332)What if it rains tomorrow？Will we still have soccer practice?
明天要是下雨怎么辦？我們還練足球嗎？
②(朗P2332)What if we move the sofa over here？Would that look better？如果我們把沙發(fā)挪到這邊怎么樣？看起會不會更好一點？
what if還可以用表示“建議、邀請或要求”，從句中常用一般現在時或一般過去時。
思維拓展
③What if you join us for lunch?
跟我們一起吃午飯怎么樣？
即境活用
13．—I don’t know it’s good to hang the drawing here.
—________I move it over there？Do you think it’ll look
better?
A．What about B．What if
C．How about D．What with
解析：選B。本題空格后為句子，所以需要有個連接詞，what about與how about一樣表示“……怎么樣？”后接名詞或動名詞結構。what if后接句子表示“倘若……將會怎樣？”。
14.—Have you heard of a person in Qingdao who won a million in the lottery ?
—A million！________we had won it.
A．What if B．Only if
C．What about D．If only
解析：選D。由句中had done 判斷，這是與過去事實相反的虛擬語氣，而選項中只有D項后面的句子用虛擬語氣。what if...如果……怎么辦；if only 但愿，要是……就好了；what about……怎么樣；only if 只要。
