Hello, I am a Chinese teaching English in my home country. I have 3 questions just below, which are taken from the China National College Entrance Examination papers over the past years. As answers differ greatly, I particularly want some help form the native English speakers (British or American). Anyway, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
