I hope you have a typo in number 1 because none of the answers are correct.  Also, number 7 has two correct answers.  (You can give your teacher this link for the last one:  http://pinyin.info/chinese_new_year/cny2000-2099.html )

As far as your not finding the correct answers, you aren't looking hard enough.  It appears you are looking for someone to do your homework for you.  Enter each question into your favorite search engine and you'll find the correct answer.

EDIT:  Thank you to answer below regarding my parentheses mark at the end of the link.  I neglected to put the space between the link and the close of my sentence.  It's been corrected now.  THANK YOU!  I appreciate it!  (o_o)

For another answer:  To me 2/3 of the time does NOT indicate "usually."  To me, "usually" indicates an overwhelming acceptance that the statement is true.

The muggle above is right in saying that you haven't looked hard enough.

Her weblink is excellent, except for the problem that you need to remove the closing bracket at the end of the link.

So the correct weblink would be http://pinyin.info/chinese_new_year/cny2000-2099.html

There are so many of those questions that have either "no correct answer" or "multiple correct answers" that it is a bogus test. I recommend you do your own research on each item and be prepared to contest the answer key and get the test maker fired. Who's the dolt that came up with it?
