Terrible”可知，七岁时，“我”妹妹的小提琴演奏得糟糕透了(awful)，故C项正确。A项意为“迅速发展的”，B项意为“令人愉快的”，D项意为“有力量的”，都与语境不符。20A根据本句中的“and knew how far she had e, despite”并结合上文可知，“我”想起了妹妹七岁时演奏小提琴的糟糕的声音，只有“我”知道她不顾一切(everything)走了多远。四、单句改错1Ive e to ask you to do me favour._答案：me后加ado sb. a favour “帮某人一个忙”。2After a whole afternoons heated discussion, they finally declared us what had been decided._答案：declared后加todeclare sth. to sb. “向某人宣布/表明某事”。3People wanted to know who this talent designer was._答案：talenttalentedtalented为形容词“有天赋的；有才能的”，在句中修饰designer。4Next to this restaurant stands many buildings._答案：standsstand该句为全部倒装结构，句子主语为复数名词buildings, 故谓语动词也应用复数。5The boy was absent school, which made his parents very angry._答案：absent后加frombe absent from . “不参加；缺席”。be absent from school “逃学；旷课”。五、短文改错Nowadays，more and more Confucius Institutes are being building all over the world，that shows our Chinese culture has bee more popular than ever.On the one hand，the ancient Chinese culture once had a great influence in other cultures，especially those of Asian country.On other hand，our Chinese culture constantly developed throughout the long history，thus made it more colorful and more brilliant.Confucius Institutes are good places where to learn about the Chinese culture.Whoever want to know more about it must spend more time.Therefore，he or she cannot have a well knowledge of the Chinese culture.答案：Nowadays，more and more Confucius Institutes are being all over the world， shows our Chinese culture has bee more popular than ever.On the one hand，the ancient Chinese culture once had a great influence other cultures，especially those of Asian .On other hand，our Chinese culture constantly developed throughout the long history，thus it more colorful and more brilliant.Confucius Institutes are good placesto learn about the Chinese culture.Whoever to know more about it must spend more time.，he or she cannot have a knowledge of the Chinese culture.
