答案与解析：

1. 答案：B。句意为“山脚下有一座村庄。”将介词短语放在句首时常使用全部倒装语序，即将整个谓语动词放在主语的前面，由此先排除选项D；选项A的语序没有倒装且谓语动词lie的数没有与主语“a village”的数保持一致；选项C为部分……

2. 答案：C。

▲If only+句子，“要是---该多好呀”，再如：If only I hadn’t lost it!（要是没有丢该多好啊!），引导条件句，可单独使用。

3.答案：B。

4.答案：B。lay-laid-laid-laying 平放（放、置）

5.答案：A。第一空填lay，它是lie(位于，在)的过去式 lay;第二空 laid，它是 lay(放，置)的过去分词，句意为“……她发现所有东西还在她当时放它们的地方”。

6.答案：B。lay(躺vi)， laying(放、置vt，这里用的是引申意：（为某目的）将（某物）摆放於适当位置: lay a carpet, cable, pipe 铺地毯﹑ 架电缆﹑ 敷管道) ；所以答案是 B。

7.答案：C。lied(保持，是连系动词；系动词一般无进行时态，因此D项错。) had laid(放、置vt)。

8.答案：laid(放、置vt)， lay（躺 vi）， laid（生蛋vt）， lied（撒谎）， lying（躺）。

9.答案：laying( 放、置vt) laid(放、置vt)

10. 答案：lied(撒谎vi) had lain(平放，放、置vt)

11. Key：lies（在，位于vi）

▲此句中，我们可以这样分析句子结构。He主语； lied to 相当于vt，作谓语；his mother是直接宾语；that he had lain the book on the desk是间接宾语，该动作发生在lied to 的前面，是过去的过去，因此这里要用过去完成时。

12. Key：laid(生蛋，这里是vt) laid（躺vi）

13. Key：laid(生蛋的过去分词，laid by the hen是过去分词短语作定语)；have lain(在)

14.Key: laid，躺；lay down （使）躺下；将…放下。（lay的过去式是laid）

例句:

She carefully laid the sleeping child down on the bed. 她小心地将睡着的孩子放到了床上。)
