　　9．______ ______ ______I know(據我所知), the place where we used to________(升起) our flag has become a modern teaching building.

　　答案：As far as；raise

　　解析：句意：據我所知，過去我們常常升旗的地方已經變成了一棟現代化的教學樓。as far as I know“據我所知”；第二個空之后是名詞作賓語，所以應選及物動詞，rise是不及物動詞，raise是及物動詞。

　　10．－Would you like me to show you the way?

　　—That's ________ ________ ________ ________(你真是太好了). I am new here.

　　答案： very kind of you

　　解析：由后句I am new here可知，對方需要幫助，所以應該表示感謝。That's very kind of you.“你真是太好了。”
