【答案与解析】

1. 选A，too … to … 结构除用于“too + 形容词或副词 + to do sth”外，也可用于“too + 形容词 + a / an + 单数可数名词 + to do sth”。

2. 选B，it can’t be worse 相当于 It’s the worst thing I ever knew。

3. 选B，average 意为“平常的”、“普通的”。

4. 选B，similar 指“相似”，familiar 指“熟悉”。

5. 选A，此处的 fool 虽为名词，但具有形容词的性质，相当于 foolish。

7. 选D。第一个 look是实义动词(注意与之搭配的介词 at)，第二个look 是连系动词。

8. 选 C。多个形容词共同修饰一个名词时，它们的位置遵循这样的原则：描绘形容词—大小（长短高低）形容词—形状形容词—年龄（新旧）形容词—颜色形容词—国籍形容词—材料形容词—用途（类别）形容词—名词（动名词）。

9. 选A。做对此题要注意两点：一是修饰something, anything, nothing 等复合不定代词的形容词，应置于被修饰语之后；二是副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时也应置于被修饰语之后。

10. 选C。wrong 修饰nothing，seriously 修饰wrong。

11. 选C。still 修饰 active，置于其前；而副词enough 修饰形容词或副词时应置于被修饰语之后。

12. 选B。that 在此用作副词，不是代词，用法相当于so。其余三者填入空格处语意不通。

13. 选B。理由见“典型陷阱题分析”第5题。

14. 选A。理由见“典型陷阱题分析”第2题。
