校名及其它相关信息，否则不予评分．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．。）参考答案听力部分:IEADCGBII:CADCCABBDAIII:TTFFTFFIV:driver（本次最后争议的一道题目之一，老师我和教研组的老师一开始也都下意

识地填了driver's，觉得是被比较的对象，但是经过我仔细地对句子的分析，即"Charliefoundthathehasthesamewatchasthe_______"，整个句子是宾语从句，宾语中

sbhas/havethesame....as....，这里的关键就是对as在句中成分的理解，as在这里是同级比较，比较的对象是I和sb，而不是I和某人的东西，as在这里做的是关系代词或者被看作连词，代先行词thesamewatch，后面是省略了thedriverhas的

谓语部分，因此这道题目的答案我可以确定下来是driver。也有的老师认为这里的as仅仅是一个介词，然后是介词词组作副词成分)noticelakeboringhappilyfiveremember语法和词汇：II

基础上进行了改编，但是内容应该还是连贯的，在原文中，体现出了他们有readspacenews。所以这边答案基本可以确定是both了。）Oneofthehouseholdrobots.Frankworkswithothersfromhomethr
