3.【答案】A
【解析】句意：有些学生在家里讲很多话，但是在学校却不活跃。inactive不活跃的；impatient没有耐心的；implite不礼貌的；incrrect错误的。本句but后表述内容与“talk a lt at hme”构成转折关系，“不活跃的”符合语境。故选A。

5.【答案】C
【解析】句意：不要碰门。油漆还是湿的。可能会弄脏你的衣服。Tuch动词原形；Tuching动名词；Dn't tuch祈使句的否定形式；N tuching祈使句的否定形式，适合做标语。根据后一句“The paint is still wet.油漆还是湿的。”可知油漆未干所以提醒不要触碰门，此处是在提醒他人，不是做标语。故选C。

【解析】该句是一般现在时，根据句意，可知第一个空可用be better at/d better in“在……更擅长”，maths“数学”；ask sb fr help“向……寻求帮助”，第二个空主语是he，所以动词用三单形式“asks”。故填d better in maths/am better at maths；asks me fr help。
42.【答案】but als her parents like this film
【解析】根据中英文对照及“Nt nly”提示，应是短语“nt als”；由于nt nly als有就近原则，所以谓语与my parents保持一致。喜欢：like；这部电影：this film。故答案为：but als her parents like this film。
43.【答案】making a few mistakes in the exam
【解析】犯错误：make a mistake；几个：a few；考试中：in the exam。mistake前有限定词a few，所以使用复数形式；动词make需使用动名词形式作介词fr的宾语，in the exam作状语位于句末。故填making a few mistakes in the exam。
44.【答案】Yu'd better nt be late
【解析】yu“你”；had better nt d sth“最好不要做某事”；be late“迟到”。分析句子结构可知本句是含有情态动词had better的陈述句的否定形式，had与前面的主语缩写为yu'd，句首字母需要大写，nt后接动词原形be。故填Yu'd better nt be late.
