5. because / because of

because （conj. ）: for the reason that 因为。用于从句的开头，放在主语和谓语动词前面。

二. 单项填空

1. 解析：direction有“方向”“指导”“说明”的意义，指“说明书”时应用复数形式。

　　答案：A

　2. 解析：序数词前加不定冠词表示“再一”“又一”；在间接引语中“next year”应为“the next year”。

　　答案：C

　3. 解析：表示讲某种语言的国家应为形容词“English-speaking” “Chinese speaking”；“hear English spoken”中“spoken”是过去分词作宾补，与宾语之间是被动关系。

　　答案：B

　4. 解析：“since 1982”表示从1982年一直到说话时为止，表达的是一段时间。在英语中除了用since表达一段时间，还用介词for。

　　答案：D

　5. 解析：“such”后面要加名词表示“如此”“这样”。当名词被many, much, little, few修饰时其前应用so。

　　答案：A

　6. 解析：“the number of…”表示“……的数量”，而“a number of…”表示“许多”之意。前者加名词作主语，谓语动词用单数形式，后者加名词，谓语动词用复数形式。

　　答案：C

　7. 解析：此句表示没有把握的推测，而“might”正与“be not sure”相符合。

　　答案：D

　8. 解析：本句话的意思是“书不够，所以有些人需共用”。而share有“share sth. with sb.”短语，意为“和某人共用、共享某物”。spare有“匀出，抽出（时间，金钱）”之意，不符合题意。

　　答案：C

　9. 解析：“fun”是不可数名词，前面一般不加冠词，也没有复数形式；而“funny”为形容词，意义常是“滑稽的”“可笑的”。

　　答案：B

　10. 解析：“be / get close to”是“靠近、接近”的意思，“closely”含义是“密切地”。

　　答案：A

　11. 解析：“以……为基础”或“以……为根据”应为“base…on”，而根据句意应为被动意义，故选A。

　　答案：A

　12. 解析：根据上一句话，回答就是“Spend one’s weekends playing…”

　　答案：C

　13. 解析：根据上下文，这里应表示一种推断。在表示“可能”意义时，在疑问句中常用can，must, may表推测不用于疑问句。

　　答案：C

　14. 解析：根据上下文的意思应是“make use of every minute to prepare”，而原句是被动语态形式。

　　答案：B

　15. 解析：根据句意，应为“留下”，A、C无此意，而write是“写”；“写下、记下”应为write down。leave正好有此用法。

　　答案：D
