答案与解析:
1.C
政府正打算同意采取广泛监督的手段时,却遭到了司法部的反对。此题考查时态的运用。少数几个前置词可带不定式作宾语,如about,but,except,save, than等后允许加不定式作宾语。be about+不定式表示“将来”的含义,因此C为正确选项。
2. C

a knowledge of中,所以选C)。
3.D
史密斯夫妇今天非常兴奋,因为他们昨天买了许多家具。
此题考查名词的单复数。英语中有些名词只有单数,如furniture 前可用pieces of furniture,much furniture,a lot of furniture。因此D为正确选项。
4.A

5. A
