[答案与解析]
1. A。There is no need forsb. to do sth为固定句型，意为“对某人来说没有必要做某事”。句意为“没有必要让什么人告诉你下一步该做
什么一你大了，该自己做出判断。”
2. D.当陈述部分是there be结构时，附加部分应用there。句意为“好像有点不大对头，是吗?”又如: There is a book on the table, isn't th
ere?桌子上有一本书是吗?
3.D。本题考查Itis+ adj. + for theretobe. ..结构。
4.B.本题考查There be与情态动词连用。句意为“真可惜!我的新收音机不能用了，-定是出毛病了。”又如: There used to be a hospit
alhere.这里过去是家医院。
5.D。thereis意为“有”，no harm done意为“没有人受到伤害，一切平安无事”。句意为“服务员把酒溅在地毯上，但没有造成损害。”
6.C。本题考查there be在独立主格结构中的用法。There being no buses相当于原因状语从句Because there were no buses.句意为“ 没有公交
车，我们只能步行回家。”
7. A。there可 以和某些表示存在的动词如: live, stand, lie, exist等连用，代替there be结构中的be。There be表示客观存在，have表示某人或
某物“拥有，具有”，二者不可连用。
句意为“从前有一个穷苦的农夫，他有四个儿子。”
8. D.本题考查there be的不同的时态。根据句中的since last year,可知应用现在完成式。句意为“去年以来我校发生了很大变化。”
9. D。There be必须与后面最近的主语在人称和数上保持一致。句意为“篮子里有两个苹果，一个西瓜和一些香蕉。”There is one watermelon, two apples and some bananas in the basket.
10.C。 句意为“桌子上有一副刀叉。”aknife and fork意为“一副刀叉”，谓语动词用单数。
