答案：A
解析：
辨析选项词义：A. mix（混合）；B. exchange（交换）；C. collection（收集）；D. difference（差异）。结合句意“她的穿衣风格是休闲与正式的不寻常______，看起来既舒适又干练”，可知“混合”符合语境，故选A。

B.will begin
C.has been on
D.will be on
— Oh dear. It ___ for a few minutes. Come on!
A.has begun
B.will begin
C.has been on
D.will be on
答案：C
解析：
1. 时间状语“for a few minutes”表示一段时间，需与延续性动词连用；2. “begin”是短暂性动词，不能和一段时间搭配，排除A；B、D为将来时态，不符合“新闻已开始几分钟”的语境，排除；3. “has been on”是延续性表达，且为现在完成时，符合要求，故选C。

B.won't; when
C.haven't; since
D.don't; because
答案：A
解析：
本题考查"not...until"的固定搭配，意为“直到……才”。根据句中"was over"可知时态为一般过去时，助动词用didn't。B选项时态为一般将来时，与句中过去时态不符；C选项现在完成时搭配since不符合句意；D选项一般现在时及because引导原因逻辑不通。因此选A。

A.has been; has left
B.has gone; has left
C.has been; has been away from
D.has gone; has been away from
答案：D
解析：
1. 区分have been与have gone：have been表示“去过某地（已返回）”，have gone表示“去了某地（未返回）”。根据语境叔叔不在现场，第一个空用has gone。
2. 时间段“for over a year”需与延续性动词连用，短暂性动词left不能接时间段，要转换为延续性短语be away from，故第二个空用has been away from。综上选D。
2. 时间段“for over a year”需与延续性动词连用，短暂性动词left不能接时间段，要转换为延续性短语be away from，故第二个空用has been away from。综上选D。

根据语境，姐姐已从新疆返回，“在新疆待两个月”是过去已完成的动作，应用一般过去时。分析选项：A为一般现在时，表经常性动作；B为一般过去时，符合语境；C为一般将来时，表将来动作；D为现在完成时，强调过去动作对现在的影响或持续到现在，不符合题意。故选B。
