　　91. D set off引起，激起。A letter from his home set off an attack of homesickness…。set out出发，开始;set about开始着手。

　　92. A 用过去进行时表示过去本打算干某事而实际并没干。

　　93. C 句子缺少主语，首先排除A. D;B项表示主动，只能选C。

　　94. D as good as，实际上，几乎等于。

　　95. B anything but意为“一点也不”;nothing but等于only意为“正是，只是”，根据上文提供的语境，“这项工作很麻烦”。

　　96. A 本题主要考查动词短语的意义辨析。选项A的意思是“出现，进展，一起来”;选项B的意思是“呈现，雇佣，接纳，承担”;选项C的意思是“经过”;选项D的意思是“落后”。根据对话的内容，前者表现出对没有得到工作的悲观情绪，后者表示对他的安慰，指更好的事情会出现，于是本题的正确答案为A。

　　97. B 本题主要考查固定搭配的识记及动词的语态。根据help的搭配要求，介词须用with，从而排除选项A. C;动词prove表示事物的性质时，为不及物动词，不用被动形式，于是本题的正确答案为B。

　　98. D 本题主要考查反意疑问句部分的逻辑一致性。句子的主语是inspectors，代词用they代替;谓语动词的时态为带will的将来时，疑问部分应用won't形式，于是本题选D。

　　99. D 考查词义辨析。allow允许，使得到，而permit强调“正式认”“批准”。
