27、sth.with sb.为固定搭配， “与某人分享某事” 。因此要用 with。47答案 it解析 考查代词。句意为：在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆办展览更明智。分析句子结构可知，本句中的真正的主语是后面的不定式，因此这种情况常用 it 代替动词不定式作形式主语。因此要用 it。48答案 more convenient解析 考查形容词的比较级。句意为：一方面，人们去上海博物馆(比去社区图书馆) 更方便些。根据题意可知是两者进行比较的，故要用比较级。因此填 more convenient。49答案 which解析 考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子可知“ is located in the c
