答案解析：
21. 根据“had better do sth.”(最好做某事)这一固定搭配，可知此处应选动词原形“leave”，所以选C。
22. 根据“He has gone to Hong Kong on vacation.”(他去香港度假了)，可知那边那个人不可能是Adam，“can't”表示“不可能”，所以选B。
23. 根据“taller”是比较级，“little”修饰比较级时要用“a little”，表示“一点儿”，所以选C。
24. 根据“You can have two.”(你可以拿两个)，可知剩下的苹果是特指给Jim的，“the others”表示“其余的(特指)”，所以选A。
25. 根据“You mustn't drive a car on the road”(你不能在路上开车)和“you get a driver's license”(你拿到驾照)，可知前后是条件关系，“unless”表示“除非”，符合语境，所以选A。
26. 根据“pleasant surprise”(令人愉快的惊喜)，是名词短语，且“surprise”是可数名词单数，“what a/an + 形容词 + 可数名词单数”是感叹句结构，所以选C。
27. 根据“Stephen Hawking”和“as the ‘smartest man alive’”，可知霍金是被赞扬为“在世最聪明的人”，且事情发生在过去，要用一般过去时的被动语态“was/were + 过去分词”，所以选B。
28. 根据“As long as”引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”原则，即主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，“the whole of our society”是第三人称单数，所以动词用“keeps”，选A。
29. 根据“the good old days”和“we spent together in junior high”，可知这是一个定语从句，先行词是“days”，在从句中作宾语，关系代词用“which”或“that”，所以选C。
30. 根据“share”和“I'll write a poem for my dad.”(我将给我爸爸写一首诗)，可知此处是问在父亲节要做什么，“what”引导宾语从句，且要用陈述句语序，所以选B。
