1.Mr. White, who comes from ________ European country, has formed ________ habit of attending ________ church on Sundays.
A.an; /; the B.a; a; a
C.an; the; / D.a; the; /
解析:选D 考查冠词。第一空后的European读音以辅音音素开头,其前应用不定冠词a;第二空habit后有介词短语of attending ________ church修饰,所以其前应用定冠词the;第三空attend church意为“去教堂做礼拜”,是固定用法。故答案选D。
2.Every hour and every minute________ long and tiring while waiting for someone in the hot sun.
A.are B.will be
C.seems D.has seemed
解析:选C 考查主谓一致。every hour and every minute 作主语时,谓语动词只能用单数。该句单纯地陈述一个客观事实,故用一般现在时。
3.At the conference the Chinese foreign minister ________ that China was strongly against the terrorism.
A.declared B.announced
C.reminded D.showed
解析:选A 句意:在会议上中国外交部长宣布中国强烈反对恐怖主义。declare“正式宣布”,一般指官方的正式宣布;announce“宣布”,一般指宣布或预告大家关心的问题。
