31.There ______ some houses near the river.A.were used to be B.used to be C.uses to be D.used to be having
B,there be 句型,“有”的意思,used to是“过去,过去常常”的意思,整句是说：在这小河附近过去有一些房子.意思是现在没了.

B,意思是,我得首先完成家庭作业,而不是打扫房间.
33.Why not ______ an English language club to practice ______ English A.join; speaking B.to join; speak C.joining; speak D.take part in; speaking
Why not = why don’t you,后面当然要加动词原形,practice doing sth是练习做某事,固定搭配.先A
34.What a hot day!I would rather ____ at home than ____ out in the sun.
A.stay; to go B.to stay; to go C.stay; go D.to stay; go
Would是情态动词,后面接动词原形,另外than连接两个相同的动词形态,前面用了原形,后面也要用原形,前面用不定式,后面也用不定式,这里应选C

B.else someone C.else anyone D.someone’s else
肯定句用someone ,否定,疑问句用anyone,跟那个something一样,跟你讲过.Else的位置也跟前面讲过的一道题一样,放在后面所以选A
