43、在完成进行时）；C. does 做（一般现在时）；D. is going to do 做（一般将来时）。【解题思路】本题根据句意和前一分句中的时间状语all the morning（整个上午）可知，前一分句应用现在完成进行时，即其谓语动词用“have/has been+现在分词”的形式，表示从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在的动作，这个动作可能刚刚结束，或者可能还要继续进行下去。故本题选B。【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项时态均不正确。【句意】露西整个上午都在洗衣服，所以她现在筋疲力尽。9.单选题She tried to persuade him to change his behavior, bu

48、 rock concerts与谓语动词hold之间形成逻辑上的动宾关系，为被动，所以应用过去完成时的被动语态，故本题选D。【干扰项排除】A选项时态不符；B选项时态和语态均不符；C选项语态不符。【句意】到去年年底，这个乐队已经举办了两千多场摇滚乐演唱会。12.单选题The city where I have stayed for ten years is getting _these years.问题1选项A.prosperouserB.more and more prosperousC.the more prosperousD.prosperouser and prosperouser【答案】

50、座城市这些年变得越来越繁荣。13.单选题_ you speak, _ your French will be.问题1选项A.The less; the moreB.The more; the betterC.The less; the betterD.The more; the less【答案】B【解析】【考点】本题考查形容词的比较级。【选项释义】A.

51、】“the比较级，the比较级”为固定结构，意为“越，就越”。根据句意可知，逗号前的部分表示“你说得越多”，much的比较级为more，因此第一空应填The more；逗号后的部分表示“你的法语就越好”，good的比较级为better，因此第二空应填the better。故本题选B。【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项均不符合句意。【句意】你说得越多，你的法语就越好。14.单选题Well stay at home tomorrow _ it rains.问题1选项A.andB.ifC.butD.so【答案】B【解析】【考点】本题考查状语从句。【选项释义】A. and 和，然后，表并列或顺承；B. if

52、 如果，可引导条件状语从句；C. but 但是，表转折；D. so 因此，所以，表因果。【解题思路】分析句子结构，并结合句意和“主将从现”的时态可知，此处应用if引导后面的条件状语从句，故本题选B。【干扰项排除】A、C、D选项均不能引导条件状语从句。【句意】如果下雨，我们明天将待在家里。15.单选题We apologize for the _ arrival of the flight.问题1选项A.lateB.latterC.laterD.lately【答案】A【解析】【考点】本题考查形容词和副词的词义辨析。【选项释义】A. late 迟的，晚的，迟到的（形容词、副词）；B. latter

53、后者的，较后的（形容词）；C. later 较晚地，后来（副词）；D. lately 最近，近来（副词）。【解题思路】根据题干中空后的名词arrival可知，这里应该填一个形容词，再根据句意，表示飞机的晚点，得出此处填late。故本题选A。【干扰项排除】此处应填形容词，排除C、D选项。B选项不符合句意。【句意】我们为飞机的晚点到达感到抱歉。16.单选题Not until he retired three years ago _ settling in London.问题1选项A.he had consideredB.did he considerC.had he consideredD.he

54、considered【答案】B【解析】【考点】本题考查倒装句和动词时态。【选项释义】consider 考虑，认为。A. he had considered（过去完成时）；B. did he consider（一般过去时，部分倒装）；C. had he considered（过去完成时，部分倒装）；D. he considered（一般过去时）。【解题思路】当表示否定意义的词或短语位于句首时，句子（或主句）应部分倒装，即将助动词、情态动词或be动词提到主语之前。本题根据句首的否定短语Not until可知，主句应部分倒装。又根据句意并结合选项可知，从句中的谓语动词retire表示的动作发生在主句

55、中的谓语动词consider表示的动作之前，且retire表示的动作发生在过去（三年前），所以主句不能用过去完成时（动作发生在过去的过去），而应用一般过去时，即将助动词did提到主语he之前。故本题选B。【干扰项排除】A、D选项没有部分倒装；C选项时态不符。【句意】直到三年前他退休，他才考虑定居伦敦。17.单选题Youve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness instructors, voice teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists（精神科医生）and other specialists wh
