8. A. can’t   B. didn’t  C. doesn’t  D. couldn’t

【解析】选B。考查时态。He said后接的是从句, 受主句过去时态的制约。

9. A. so   B. why   C. because  D. before

【解析】选C。考查连词。句意为“但是他不喜欢喜剧片, 因为喜剧片无聊。”because意为“因为”, 符合句意。

10. A. enjoy  B. enjoys  C. watch  D. watches

【解析】选B。考查语境理解。enjoy sth. “喜欢某事”, everyone是不定代词, 作主语时看作单数形式。所以用动词enjoys。
