单选题 【K10】
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】解析：根据“Valuemart的管理部门宣布本市已经______将商店附近的空地改造成停车场的请求”的句意，各个选项都有可能正确，无法做出选择，需要联系上下文进行选择。后文提到停车场将在本月末前修好，由此可知将空地改造成停车场的要求已被批准，因此这里选approve(批准)的过去分词形式(D)approved。(A)denied表示“拒绝，否认”，(B)submitted表示“提交”，(C)encouraged表示“鼓励”。
单选题 【K11】
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】解析：表示“预计将……”的动词短语应该是be expected to，因此选(C)is expected。
单选题 【K12】
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】解析：填入空格处的词与逗号一起出现在句首起到连接的作用，此处需要把握前一句和后一句的语义关系来进行选择。前一句是说施工期间请顾客不要在此处停车，空格所在句是在说商店西侧隔一个街区的地方可供停车，可见后一句是在为前一句提供可替代的解决方案，因此选(A)Instead(作为替代)。如果选(B)Nonetheless(尽管如此)与(C)In short(简言之)，都会造成句意不通顺。接续副词(D)Provided that(假如)不能用在逗号前面。
