3.正确答案：B

答案解析：译文：大气由上百英里高的气体组成。“hundred，thousand等数词的复数形式+of短语”表示的是不确切的数量。

4.正确答案：C

答案解析：not only…but also…是固定搭配，意思是：不但……而且……。它需要遵循就近原则，谓语动词应与the old teacher一致，所以答案是C.

5.正确答案：A

答案解析：感叹句分两类：

1.What + n.+主谓部分2.How + adj. / adv. / v.+主谓部分。本题属第一种，但省略了bad，相当于 What a bad time I had! 这是个习惯用语。

7.正确答案：D

9.正确答案：B

答案解析：in which the above subjects are to be covered是report的定语从句。which指代先行词report，in用于与report搭配。

10.正确答案：B

答案解析：本题考查的是定语从句的用法。先行词是the reason;引导词why表示原因。
