2、 was destroying themCThey destroyed in the earthquakeDThe earthquake destroyed them答案:A本题考查时态、语态与习惯表达。句意:“那些价值连城的艺术品发生了什么事?”“它们在地震中被毁掉了。”第一个说话人问的是发生在the priceless works of art上的事情,因此回答时为了有所侧重,将they放在了主语的位置上,they与destroy之间为被动关系,且叙述过去的事情,因此最佳答案是A。3If city noises_from increasing, people_shout to be hea

10、ll be built Bis builtChas been built Dis being built答案:D从后面的提示看,这项工程没有完工,故应正在建设之中,而且是被动语态,故D为最佳。15Having a trip abroad is certainly good for the old couple, but it remains_whether they will enjoy it.Ato see Bto be seenCseeing Dseen答案:B“有待观察”,应该用“remains to be done”结构。.完形填空Ever since sixth grade, I h
