1.1.
A or
B and
C but
D
解析:选B。B。空格前后“sit there”和“watch mom cooking”是并列的动作,需用表并列的连词连接,“and”符合语境;“or”表选择,“but”表转折,均不符,故选B。
2.2.
A what
B that
C whether
D
解析:选A。A。空格处是“be curious about”后的宾语从句,从句中“be busy with”缺少宾语,需用连接代词“what”(指代“妈妈忙碌的事情”);“that”在宾语从句中不充当成分,“whether”表“是否”,均不符,故选A。
3.3.
A is allowed
B was allowed
C was allowing
D
解析:选B。B。主语“she”与“allow”是被动关系(被允许),且时态为一般过去时(when she was older),故用“was allowed”;“is allowed”是现在时,“was allowing”是主动语态,均不符,故选B。
4.4.
A by
B for
C with
D
解析:选C。C。表示“用工具做某事”用介词“with”(with a small knife意为“用一把小刀”);“by”后接动作方式,“for”表目的,均不符,故选C。

7.7.
A work
B working
C to work
