2019年mpacc考试英语真题——副词497

{01}However _____ they are designed, pens should function as a tool to write with.

A.differ

B.difference

C.different

D.differently

解析：句意：无论钢笔被设计的多么不同，他们的作用还是作为书写用的工具。However后修饰形容词或副词，根据语境应用副词修饰动词，所以用differently，选D。
本题选D。
{02}One car went too fast and_________missed hitting the other one.

A.narrowly

B.nearly

C.hardly

D.closely

解析：“这辆车开得太快，差一点和另一辆车相撞”。narrowly miss“勉强错过”，所以答案A。
本题选A。
