Ⅱ.单项填空

答案：A根据句意可知他在毕业之后出版了一本关于他学校生活的书，注意come out作为“出版”讲时是不及物动词，没有被动语态。turn out“证明是”；turn up“调大/高，出现”；pick out“挑选出”；均不符合句子的意思。

A．examined B．completed
C．marked D．answered
答案：C examine意为“检查”；complete意为“完成”；mark 意为“打分”；answer意为“回答”。题目语境是“学生考试”和“发现12名男生犯了相同的错误”，所以“教师批卷”符合题意，故答案是marked。

答案：A此题考查非谓语动词。根据find sb. doing sth.结构可知，本题的第二空应填及物动词dressing。第一空为him的后置定语，可填having on, dressed in或wearing表示“他”所处的状态。故答案为A项。
5．Her shoes________her dress; they look very well together.
A．suit B．fit
C．compare D．match
答案：D考查动词词义。句意：她的鞋子和衣服很配，它们搭配起来很好看。match“般配，与……相配”；fit指“大小尺寸吻合”；suit指“(衣服的款式、颜色等)合身，相配”。

9．Please remain ________ until the plane has come to a complete stop.
