—__________.

A. Two pop

B.Two bottles pop

C. Two bottles of pop

D. Two bottle of pop

38.【答案】C。解析：句意为“先生，您想要点什么?”“两瓶汽水。”pop是不可数名词，当数词和不可数名词搭配时，应用“数词+可数名词+ of+中心词(不可数名词)”的结构，在这个结构中，如果这个数词大于一，后面的可数名词要用复数形式。故选C。

39. My seat is next to ______ of the famous writer so I could ask for some advice from him about writing.

A. that

B. this

C. it

D. one

39.【答案】A。解析：句意:我的座位挨着那位著名作家的座位，因此我可以寻求关于写作方面的建议。that替代同类异物，为了避免重复，代替前面提到的可数名词，或不可数名词，表特指，此处替代the seat，且特指“那位名作家的座位”，故选A项。one虽然也是替代同类异物，但是只替代可数名词，表泛指。it 替代同类同物。故选A。

40.【答案】A。解析：考查介词的用法。上一句是让步状语从句，为了治愈她母亲的疾病,她卖掉自己的宝藏,虽然违背了自己的心愿。“against one's wishes(违背了自己的心愿)”是固定搭配。“It's so kind of sb.(某人真好)”是固定句型。故选A。
