Ⅲ.
1．B [此处是that引导的宾语从句，应当用陈述语序，排解C、D两项；”more than one＋单数名词”虽然在意义上表示复数但因中心词是单数形式，谓语动词也须用单数。]
2．C [句意为：后来，在接下来的一个世纪英国人开头航海去制服世界其他地区。此处用动词不定式作目的状语。]
3．A [句意为：我乐意到你的公寓去。come up to ...“达到……”，符合题意。come about“发生，产生”；come out “毁灭，开花，出版”；come across“偶遇”。]
4．B [one another“彼此，相互”，表示三个或三个以上的人或事物之间的相互关系。]
5．D [表示两者中的后者用latter。later是late的比较级，也可单独作副词用，意为“后来，以后”； late adj.&adv.“迟(的)，晚(的)”；lately adv.“最近，近来”。]
6．A [people与learn之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作后置定语；the number of “……的数目”，其谓语动词用单数。]
7．C [people与take之间是动宾关系，故用被动语态，排解A；由时间状语”in the 18th century”可知用一般过去时，故选C。]
8．A [such as用于列举事物，常用在列举的事物和前面的名词之间，所列举事物的数量不能等同于前面所提事物的总数，否则应用that is或namely。for example用于举例说明，一般只列举同类人或事物中的“一个”且其后多跟句子。]
9．A [at the end of表示“在……的末尾/终点”，既可用于时间方面，也可用于空间方面；in the end“最终，最终”，在句中用作状语；by the end of“到……结束时”，常与完成时连用。]
10．A [在because引导的缘由状语从句中包含一个定语从句，先行词those在此处指人，故用关系代词who引导定语从句，who在从句中作主语，不行省略。]
Ⅳ.
1．B [学习一门外语最重要的是听、说、读、写四种技能，A、C、D三项都不够全面。]
2．D 3.B
4．C [在学习英语时，最重要的还是“练”(practice)，古语说，Practice makes perfect“熟能生巧”，故选C项。]
5．C [“在用中学”，文章强调练习的重要性。A项颠倒了学与用的关系，B项虽对，却不符合题意。]
