1. The teacher told us that light________faster than sound.
A.traveled B.had traveled

答案 D
2.—What were you doing when Lucy________in yesterday?
—I had just finished my homework and________to take a shower.
A.dropped; was starting B.had dropped; started
C.dropped; have started D.dropping; start
解析 句意：——昨天Lucy來訪的時(shí)候你在于什么?——我(那時(shí))剛寫完作業(yè)正要開始洗澡。第一空后面有yesterday所以用一般過去時(shí);第二空強(qiáng)調(diào)那時(shí)正要做某事。
答案 A
3. I________to go for a walk，but someone called and I couldn't get away.
A.was planning B.planned
C.had planned D.would plan

答案 C
4.—Thank God! It's a fine day. The rain________!
—But I don't know how long it will stay fine.
A.is stopping B.has stopped
C.stopped D.will stop
解析 句意：——感謝上帝!天氣很好，雨停了!——但我不知道好天氣能持續(xù)多久。從It's a fine day.可知，現(xiàn)在天氣很好，因此用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，表示對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響。
答案 B
5.—Mom，where is my lunch pack?
—Just where it________.
A.has been B.had been
C.was D.be
解析 句意：——媽媽，我的午飯盒在哪里?——在老地方。A項(xiàng)的現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)表述的是現(xiàn)在的情況，而B項(xiàng)表述的是“過去的過去”，這兩項(xiàng)都與題意不符;用一般過去時(shí)表述原來的地方。
答案 C
6. We________for cheap houses but haven't found________we like yet.
A.have been looking; one
B.have looked; it
C.are looking; one
D.looked; them
解析 句意：我們一直在找便宜房子，但是(到現(xiàn)在)仍未找到我們喜歡的(一所房子)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，找房子這一動(dòng)作一直在進(jìn)行，所以用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)指過去開始的動(dòng)作一直持續(xù)到現(xiàn)在;第二空：one指代a+前面提到的名詞，即：a house。
答案 A
7. The places of interest in Xi'an attract my family all the time, and I hope we________ourselves this time next year.
A.are enjoying B.are to enjoy
C.will enjoy D.will be enjoying
解析 句意：西安的名勝古跡一直吸引著我們一家人，我希望明年的這個(gè)時(shí)候我們正在游玩。時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)this time next year提示該句為將來某一時(shí)間正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，故使用將來進(jìn)行時(shí)。
答案 D
8. All the Harry Potter books by Joanne Rowling, a poor single mother________in Edinburgh，________all over the world.
A.lives; are well sold B.lives; sell good
C.living; sell well D.living; are well sold
解析 句意：Joanne Rowling，住在愛丁堡的一個(gè)貧窮的單親母親，寫的所有《哈利·波特》的書在全世界都很暢銷。句子主干為：All the Harry Potter books sell well.第一空living是現(xiàn)在分詞表主動(dòng)含義，作定語(yǔ)修飾mother;第二空為主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，sell表示事物的屬性，所以用主動(dòng)形式;另外，用副詞well修飾動(dòng)詞。
答案 C
