参考解析：

①A. 这句话的意思：全班学生除了他之外都参加班级活动。Except和except for都表示“除……外、……不包括在内”但except后接的词和整体词（主语）一般是同类指在同类的整体中除去一个部分，而except如后接的词和句子中的整体词（主语）不是同类的指从整体中除去一个细节；besides表示“除…外”, 指包括在内；beside意为“在…..旁边”;that后面跟从句。因此答案为A。

②D. 这句话的意思是值得指出的是，加热可能会导致任何材料结构发生某些变化。本题考查it作形式主语的用法。此处pointing out that 部分是句子真正的主 语，作形式主语的只能是it, 因此选D。

③B. 这两句话的意思是：我姐姐是一个非常内向的入；她宁愿待在家里也不愿和我一起去购物。would rather do something than do something 为固定搭配，意为“宁愿做…而不愿做…”，因此答案为B。

④A. 这两句话的意思是：这个月图书馆新购了一批书和杂志；经过图书管理员一番整理后，每本书和杂志都列到了目录上。each, every, each of等不定代词或限定词作主语或修饰主语时，谓语动词是单数形式，且整个句子为过去时态，因 此选A。

⑤B. 这句话的意思是：学生们从他们足够大的时候就被迫去上大学 ，因为他们已经接受了这样一个社会信息——上大学是获得高薪工作的唯一途径。根据旬 意，是他们足够大的时候接收到这样的社会信息，排除D项。C项表示“太大了而不能做某事”，意义不符，也可排除。old enough后面通常接动词不定式，排除A项。B为正确答案。

⑥D. 这句话的意思是：许多妻子承担着经营家庭的主要责任，所以对千多数家 庭而言，失去妻子往往比失去丈夫更具有毁灭性。这句话的前后关系是原因和结 果。If only意为“只要”;now that意为“既然”;even if意为“即使”；只有so that引导结果状语从句。答案为D。

⑦A. 这两句话的意思是：可以说，我的灵魂和肉体都是支离破碎的；我真的忘记了过去，也没有了对未来的憧憬，难以想象自己能承受这所有的辛劳。此处考查固定搭配。as it were表示“也许可以这么说、在某种程度上”，符合题意。as it is表示“事实上、照原来的样子”;as for表示“关于、至于”;as it was非固定搭配；没有as it be的说法。根据题意，答案为A。

⑧C. 这句话的意思是：密歇根州将恢复一项要求， 即所有身体健全、无家属的成年人每周需工作20小时，才有资格获得食品援助。requirement引导的名词性从句要用虚拟语气“(should)＋动词原形”。根据题意，答案为C。
