—It’sBellGreen.A．Ididn’tquitecatchyouB．Icouldn’tquitecatchyouC．Idon’thearyouD．It’syourname答案：A解析：選A。讓對方重復(fù)其姓名，是因?yàn)闆]有聽清(表示事實(shí))。catch此處意為“聽清”。B項(xiàng)是干擾項(xiàng)，說話人要表述的是“剛才沒有聽清”，而不是“不能聽清”。27.TomorrowisTom'sbirthday.Haveyougotanyidea____thepartyistobeheld?答案：D28.Newmedicinesandinstruments______everydaytoextendlife.A．developB．a(chǎn)rebeingdevelopedC．a(chǎn)redevelopingD．havedeveloped答案：B解析：從語境上看，develop不僅要用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，而且要用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。29.Out_____,withastickinhishand.[
