1.To get as much firsthand information as possible, inspectors will hold workshops and distribute questionnaires, ____?
A、isn’t it
B、won’t it
C、aren’t they

2、It’s a bad practice to ____ children much money as a New Year gift.
A、promise
B、permit
C、admit
D、allow
选D 考查词义辨析。
allow允许,使得到,而permit强调“正式认”“批准”。

A、shall have been sleeping
B、shall have slept
C、shall sleep
D、shall be sleeping
