18、t three years.(2013福建，26)Atook Bis takingCtakes Dhas been taking答案D解析句意为：这个女孩对运动非常感兴趣，在过去的三年中她每周上两次羽毛球课。由句中的时间状语“over the last three years”可知动作在过去的三年中一直发生，并且有可能将来还持续下去，所以用现在完成进行时。.单项填空1The manager refused to comment on the news that he had planned to_.Adismiss BresignCremove Ddisagree答案B解析句意为：经理拒绝就他

26、ith which答案B解析句中的先行词指人，故排除A、D两项；由give sth.to sb.可知选B项。8_ no lodging，I resigned myself to _ the night under the stars.AFinding；pass BFound；passingCFinding；passing DFound；pass答案C9Ill leave him a note_ hell know where we are.Ain case Bin orderCafter Dso that答案D解析so that以便；为了。引导目的状语从句。10Mary_ to see you
27、.She_ for you downstairs at the moment.Ahas come；is waiting Bcame；is waitingChas come；waited Dcame；was waiting答案A解析解本题需要使用逆向思维，先考虑第二个空白处的选项，再考虑第一空白处的答案。因为第二句中交代了一个重要的时间状语at the moment (现在)，因此应毫不犹豫地选择is waiting这一现在进行时的时态。据此，第一句的句意也就随着清晰起来：“玛丽已经到这儿来看望你。”很明显表示对现在造成影响的动作使用在完成时态。.阅读理解Studies prove that l
