选B。shock指代具体事情时为可数名词，a great shock意为“一次沉重的打击”；由普通名词构成的建筑类专有名词需加冠词，故答案为B。

2. The TV programme has on the children as as the old.

选B。have an effect on“对……有影响”；as well as “和……一样”。 3. , I think, and all the problems could be settled.

D. To have made more efforts

选C。句中有并列连词and，故应选择C项。其中名词短语相当于一个祈使句，完整的句子

为：Make more efforts, I think, and all the problems could be settled.如选A , and要删去。

disappointing.

A. Looking B. Looked C. Having looked D. To look

选B。根据“分词短语作状语，其逻辑主语须与主句的主语保持一致”的原则，因主语the present situation与look at 之间为被动关系，故答案为B。 5. you I owe a thousand apologies having doubted your ability. A. For; to B. To; for C. For; for D. To; to

选B。本句的结构是：owe sb. sth. for doing sth. 或owe sth. to do. for doing sth.。 6. He the person referred to be put in prison.

A. said B. demanded C. agreed D. thought

选B。referred to为过去分词作后置定；be put in prison前省去了should，在宾语从句中作谓语，在四个选项中，只有demand后跟虚拟语气，结构为：(should) + 动词原形。 7. It is not enough only the rules of grammar if you want to learn English well. A. keeping in the mind B. to keep in mind C. to keep in your mind D. keeping in your mind

选B。keep sth. in mind 为固定短语，意为“记住，记在心里。”only to keep sth. In mind为动词不定式作主语。
