C.to check D.checked
解析 句意:Claire在飛機起飛前一小時對行李進進行了安檢?疾榉侵^語動詞。句中l(wèi)uggage與check為被動關(guān)系,所以用過去分詞作賓補,構(gòu)成have sth done結(jié)構(gòu)。故選D項。
答案 D

A.so B.very C.too D.rather
解析 句意:我很少見到我媽媽像現(xiàn)在這樣對我的進步感到這么滿意?疾樾稳菰~的平級比較。題干有as she is now,結(jié)合句意和選項看,這里是形容詞pleased 的平級比較。否定句中用not/never//seldom/...so/as...as結(jié)構(gòu)表示平級比較。

答案 A
