　　[解析]

　　1. B。该句的主语是this company,由此可知句子缺少表语,故答案为the one,后面的you once worked for为定语从句,修饰先行词the one。

　　2. A。"It has been/is+一段时间+since"是一个常用的句型,since从句中的谓语动词应用一般过去时态,表示动作已经结束。

　　3. D。一般说来,在主语从句、表语从句和宾语从句中,如果缺少主语、宾语或表语等成分时,常用what(指物)或who(指人)来引出从句。注意:"众所周知"常用如下句式表达:①As we all know, ...②As is known to us all, ...③It is known to us all that...④What is known to us all is that...

　　4. C。不定式作定语时,若不定式与最近的名词(或代词)有动宾关系,又与句中另一个名词(或代词)有主谓关系,常用主动形式;但是如果没有这种主谓关系,不定式常用被动形式。根据语境可知,东西将被带给父母,可排除B、D,因为只有不定式表示将来;另外,不定式与anything存在动宾关系,但与you不存在主谓关系,故答案为C。

　　5. B。主语后跟有as well as等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的单复数形式通常按主语的单复数而定,所以首先排除A、C。be used to do意为"被用来做……",不合题意,故B为最佳答案。

　　6. D。needn't have done意为"本来没必要……",根据句意可知D为本题的答案。

　　7. C。insist作"坚持,坚持主张"解时,宾语从句要用虚拟语气,谓语用"should+动词原形";当它作"坚持说"解时,从句不用虚拟语气。可见C为最佳答案,该句句意为:老师坚持说那孩子没做错事,(坚持主张孩子)不应该受责备。

　　8. C。第一个空泛指"一架飞机",填an;第二个空填the,for the first time为固定搭配,意为"第一次";第三个空是泛指,填a,表示"在一次航展中";第四个空是特指,填the,表示"那次经历"。

　　9. D。under discussion为固定搭配,意为"在讨论中"。for表示"(时间等)达……,计……",此处for a month意为"长达一个月的时间"。

　　10. A。本题考查倒装。"Only+状语(从句)"放句首时,主句用倒装语序,而从句不倒装。

　　11. A。上文提到"去游泳池如何?要不然我们就得在湖里游泳。"可知这是在征求对方的意见,所以答案为A,"对我来说,去哪儿都行,没有什么区别。"接着又反问"What would you prefer to do?"使得前后连贯,语句流畅。

　　12. C。What's new?是人们见面时常用的情景会话用语,意为"有什么好消息?"当我们听到对方有好消息时,常向对方表示恭贺,故用Congratulations!

　　13. C。根据提示语Oh?可知第一个空应填that isn't right。当对方为你的错误作出纠正时,你应向对方表示谢意,故C为最佳答案。

　　14. B。根据语境可知,through the good offices of sb.意为"由于某人的帮忙",故答案为B。

　　15. D。根据语境可知,throw light on sth.意为"使某事清楚明白地显示出来",故D为最佳答案。而in the light of意为"按照,根据,当作",不合题意。

　　16. B。根据下文可知,此处指"年龄问题"。

　　17. C。much to one's surprise意为"使某人大为吃惊的是"。

　　18. D。根据语境可知,此处应表示"过去常常……",故最佳答案为D。

　　19. B。根据行文逻辑可知,此处表示语意转折。

　　20. A。get over克服(困难、偏见等),从……中恢复过来;put up举起,搭起,张贴;come over过来,顺便拜访;deal with处理。根据语境可知,此处表示"我慢慢地从这种震惊中恢复过来。"
