4、今天我没空。句意：今天下午我们一点钟出去喝一杯好吗?对不起。两点钟可以吗？根据Will two oclock be OK?可知第一个人说一点钟，第二个人做不到，故改到两点钟，并不是今天没有空。故说sorry,I cant make it【题文】2.

6、能直接用将来时态来表示将来意义，据此可排除B和C；而选项D为过去完成时，也不能选，因为“过去完成时”必须以“过去”为支点，表示“过去的过去”，但此句并没有过去时态这一支点，故此选项也被排除，for+段时间要用现在完成时，选A。句意：我不会告诉学生数学题目的答案，直到他算了一个多小时。【题文】4.

A. addedB. to add C. adding D. having been added 【答案】【知识点】A9 非谓语动词【答案解析】A。解析：add为及物动词，常用于add sth.to sth.结构中，本题中应为add several new events to the program。因此add与new events之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。

73、f difficult tasks can be influenced if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars with loud music made some psychologists in the University of Sydney look into whether loud music has something to do with driving. The psychologists invited 60 men
