参考答案&解析:
1、D 表示两个事物中的每一个,必须用each ,不可用every 。当each 在句中作主语、同位语或副词状语时,也不可用every 替换。
2、C every 前可带有almost 、absolutely 等副词,而each 不可带。另外,当句中有but/except 时,前面只可用every,不能用each ,如:Every one passed the exam but Tom.
3、B 一般情况下,some 用于肯定句中。但在表示建议、邀请、请求、反问等的疑问句中,可用some ,表示对所问的内容有所了解,预计能得到肯定的答复,如:Do you have some paper? (说话人肯定听话人有纸。)
4、C 本题中damage 作“损失”讲时是不可数名词,故应用little 修饰。a little 同样用于修饰不可数名词,意为“有一些”,但它不符合本句含义。
5、B a few 意为“有一些”,用于修饰复数可数名词。few 也用于修饰复数名词,意为“几乎没有”,但它不符合。
