6. Teachers expect all their students _____ progress day by day.
A. to make B. make C. to take D. take
【解析】考查非谓语动词和动词短语辨析。句意:老师们希望所有的学生天天进步。to make获得,动词不定式;make获得,动词原形;to take拿走,动词不定式;take拿走,动词原形。固定搭配:expect sb. to do sth."希望某人做某事",动词不定式作宾语补足语;make progress"取得进步",所以空格处填to make。故选A。
7. In Chinese families, people won’t start dinner _____ the elders take their seats.
A. after B. when C. because D. until
【解析】考查连词。句意:在中国家庭里,人们直到老人们坐下才开始吃饭。after在……之后;when在……时候;because因为;until直到。根据"won’t start dinner"可知句子使用"not…until…"的结构,此处表示"直到老人们坐下才开始吃饭",用until。故选D。

【解析】考查情态动词。句意:——艾伦,我们今天下午去书店么?——大卫,不好意思,但是我不得不去火车站接我的表弟。have to不得不;can能;may可能;could是can的过去式,能。根据"meet my cousin at the train station"可知此处表达的是"不得不",用have to。故选A。
10. — Lily, could you tell me _____?
A. how far is it from your home to school
B. how far it is from your home to school
C. how long does it take you to walk to school
D. how long it takes you to walk to school
【解析】考查宾语从句。句意:——莉莉,你能告诉我从你家到学校要花多长时间么?——大约十分钟。how far多远(距离);how long多长时间。tell me后是宾语从句,用陈述句的语序(主语+谓语动词),A和C语序错误。根据"About ten minutes"表达一段时间"大约十分钟",可知宾语从句用how long。故选D。
