【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词用法。句意:这个可怜的奴隶被迫从早到晚地工作。make sb. do sth.使得某人做某事。其中make后面的不定式短语要省略to,但是变为被动结构时,不定式短语要带to,即be made to do sth. 故选D。

A. is feeling B. is felt C. feels D. was feeling
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查感官动词的用法。句意:这件衬衫摸起来比那件柔软得多。feel意为“摸起来”,是感官动词,用主动表被动,且句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语This shirt是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数feels,故选C。
3. Great changes________ in Shanghai in the last 10 years.
