单选题 A. confirming
B. confirmation
C. to confirm
D. confirms

A
B
C
D

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】初级问题空格内应填入非谓语动词，所以排除D选项。被动语态后面不需要名词做宾语，排除B选项。在剩下的选项中，表示“很高兴做某事”，做状语的to不定式是最合适的。I am pleased to meet you，my old buddy!很高兴见到你，我的朋友!(别忘了把借走的钱还我!)

单选题 A. placing
B. delivering
C. sending
D. saying

A
B
C
D

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】高级问题在现在分词做状语的这个结构中，your order是宾语，因此和后面句子的主语you应该有关联。这里的you指的是“顾客”，因此“下订单”的意思是最贴切的。place orders意为 “订货，下订单”。其他选项都不适用于对顾客说话的场合。

单选题 A. early
B. earlier
C. earliest
D. earliness

A
B
C
D

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】初级问题看到后面的than，题目就做完了!这不就是应该和比较级搭配使用的词吗?
