　　1．B。so／such…that引导的结果状语从句中，so和such都有“如此；这样”之意，但so是副词，后跟形容词或副词；such是形容词，后跟名词，如果名词前的形容词是many，much，for，little时，则用so，不用such。如：They made so much noise that the teacher got angry．

    2．C．本句是so…that引导的状语从句。

    3．D．“祈使句+陈述句”相当于“if引导的条件状语从句的肯定式+主句”构成的复合句，该句可表达为：If you work harder，you’ll make greater progress.

    4．C．against意为“以……为竞争对手；对着”。

　　5．A．as在此意为“依照；正如；像”，引导方式状语从句。再如：When at Rome do as the Romans do．（入乡随俗）。

    解析：通读全文，知道这是关于火的一段介绍。

    ①A 这是没有比较的意思，所以不用比较级，火能加温而不是冷却，所以不用cool．

    ②B 表示肯定不用either，neither，在句末不用also。

    ③A  stories是复数，不可能用no，a little，much作定语修饰不可数名词，这里中心词stories可数。

    ④B  表示内容“关于”一般用about。

    ⑤D  此处仅仅是说生活，而不强调学习和工作。

    ⑥C  “拿来”用bring不用take．这是并列句，动作与前一个动作went相承，所以也用过去式brought．

    ⑦B  显然强调喜欢，后边接动词不定式用enjoy不合适。

    ⑧D  表示动作上紧相连，前边又有连词and，所以只能用副词then，而不用连词after和形容词late，yet意思与句子不吻合。

    ⑨D  这里强调必要性，所以情态动词用must。

　　⑩A   虽然都是及物动词，但意义上只有help可以与you搭配。
