1.Don’t bother to buy cupboards : I’m arranging to have them built ______.
A. up B. on C. in D. out
build up树立, 增进, 增大, 堵塞
build on建立于, 指望
build in安装, 固定

从意思上看选C。不用麻烦再买碗橱了，我正安排人装呢。

2.You ______ altogether too much importance to the report you read in the newspaper yesterday.
A. paid B. attached C. gave D. supplied
pay attention to是固定搭配
attach importance to也是固定搭配，意思是重视某事，后面跟名词或动名词
所以选B。昨天你太重视你在报纸上读到的那篇报道了。

3.The people would soon begin to look back with longing ______ the era of the Land of the Free.
A. at B. out C. up D. on
look back at是回头看的意思
look back out没有这个词组
look back up没有这个词组
look back on是回忆的意思
所以选D。人们很快就开始热切地回忆土地都是免费的那段时代。
这道题最理想的答案是look back upon，但是upon和on是可以通用的，比如look down on/upon都是对的。

4.The young prince was allowed to ______ the controls of the plane for a few minutes, to his delight.
A. take over B. hold up C. take out D. hold back
take over接收接管
hold up举起、支撑、继续下去等意思

5.I wondered how he could ______ open the door with a crowbar (铁撬棍) in a few minutes.
A. pray B. prey C. pry D. praise
pry本意是探查，但pry open是撬开的意思，看这篇新闻http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/031908/cops_2008031901559.shtml
