__D____ nothing to talk about,the head said good-bye and went out of the room.
A.There was B.Being C.As there being D.There being
D,独立主格,因为一个句子只有一个谓语动词,这里的主谓为：the head said,
所以前半句用there being 独立主格节构,如果A 的话,一个句子就有两个主谓了,就错了.
I told the stranger how to get there but perhaps I __A__ him a map．
A.should have given B.had to give
C.ought to give D.must have given
A,应该给而没给,这句话的意思思,我为陌生人指路,事后,我想起来,我应该给他一张地图,（暗示事实上没有给他地图）.B,C,D 都表示我必须给他地图.但事实上,指路,并没有义务,强制性要给对方地图的.
____C__ ,he never helps the poor.
A.As he is rich B.Even he is rich
C.Rich as he is D.Rich even though he is
C.富有如他,却从没帮过穷人.A.因为他富有,他从没帮过穷人,没有因果关系.B even 是副词,不是连词,语义上看着可能也对,但是副词不能连接两个句子,原就就有两个主谓,所以错了.D 一年就错了,没这么讲的

A.should he have arrived B.had he arrived
C.did he arrive D.would he had arrived
C 直到游戏开始,他才到达体育场.A.他本该到而没到,（不符）BD时态不对,翻过来就成了,直到.开始,他已经到了.（失了这句话的本意）
__B___ quite recently,most mothers in Britain did not take paid work outside the home.
A.Before B.Until C.From D.Since
B,直到近些年,大多数英国妈妈才出门工作.这里主要是强调 not,..until的句式,你把其他选项放进去,就变成英国妈妈都不出门工做了.
So many directors __D___,the board meeting had to be put off.
A.were absent B.been absent C.had been absent D.being absent
D 这里也是独立主格,两个分句,中间没有联词,所以有一个主谓要变成独独立主格,这样就不会有违英语中,无论多长的句主,只有一个主句一个主谓.

The discussion ___C__ the question whether or not we should use our canned food ended in our favor.
A.of B.about C.over D.like
这题要看语感,有点绕.主要是在 B C 两个答案上面,如果是B的话,我的讨论的问题是关于.,如果是C的话,比B更进一步,我们彻底地讨论了该问题.所以说,我个人觉得不能说B错,只能说C更合适.
