A．where　　　　　　　 B．which
C．when D．that
解析：选A。考查定语从句。where you are doing something serious but interesting是定语从句，修饰先行词job，where在从句中作地点状语，相当于in which。
2．We must ________ to the public the simple fact that drugs are dangerous.
A．get across B．get away
C．get back D．get behind
解析：选A。考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们要让公众明白，毒品是危险的。“让某人理解、接受某种观点”，要用get across。故选A项。

A．broke out; could
B．broke out; were able to
C．was broken out; could
D．was broken out; were able to
解析：选B。句意：昨晚这家旅馆起了一场大火，但是所有的人都逃了出来。break out不能用于被动语态；be able to表示“有能力做成……”。

A．it B．what
C．which D．that
解析：选C。句意：结果证明路况很好，这一点远远超出我们的预料。考查非限制性定语从句。which引导定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子。A、B两项不能引导定语从句；that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
5．________ information ________ stored in this computer.
A．Large quantities of; have been
B．A great many; has been
C．A large quantity of; were
D．Quite a lot; is
解析：选A。考查主谓一致。句意：大量的信息被存在这台电脑中。当quantity修饰名词时，谓语动词的单复数取决于quantity。故选A项。
6．I was ________ to find so many changes had taken place in my hometown.
A．amazing B．surprising
C．amazed D．surprise
解析：选C。句意：发现家乡发生了这么多变化我感到很吃惊。amazed“感到吃惊的，惊讶的”，作表语，符合句意。amazing, surprising 都表示“令人吃惊的，惊讶的”；surprise“使人吃惊”，是动词。
7．Her ________ feeling about him made him ________.
A．confused; confusing B．confusing confused
C．confused; confused D．confusing; confusing
解析：选B。考查形容词。句意：她脸上对他令人疑惑的表情让他感到疑惑。根据句意，她的表情让人“疑惑”，所以第一空要用confusing；而第二个空则是他感到“困惑”，所以要用confused。故选B项。
8．Johnson ________ for 5 years for political reasons when he was young.
A．was put in prison B．was in the prison
C．got out of prison D．was in prison
解析：选D。考查动词。句意：年轻的时候，约翰森由于政治原因蹲了5年的监狱。此处的动作要“持续”5年，因此要用一个延续性动词，因此要用be in prison。故选D项。

— I had my proposal ________again.
A．turned over B．turned on
C．turned off D．turned down
解析：选D。考查动词短语辨析。从对话可知答话人的建议遭到了拒绝，因此有点儿不快。turn down “拒绝，顶回(提议、建议或提议人)”，符合句意。turn over “翻转”； turn on “打开”；turn off “关掉”。
10．________， she kept silent over the matter.
A．So as not to lose the job
B．So as to not lose the job
C．In order not to lose the job
D．In order to not lose the job
解析：选C。句意：为了不丢掉工作，她在这件事上保持沉默。so as to结构通常不置于句首，排除A、B两项；不定式的否定结构应为not to do，故排除D项。
