A. after              B. before            C. since             D. when

【答案】B。

【考點】考查時間狀語從句用法。

【解析】before引導時間狀語從句。It will be a long time before…的意思是“要過很久才會……”，如：It will be a long time before we finish this dictionary. 我們需要很長的時間才能把這部詞典編完。 It was a long time before I got to sleep again. 過了好久我才又睡著。

A. he realized                              B. he didn’t realize

C. didn’t he realize                     D. did he realize

【答案】D。

【考點】考查倒裝句式用法。

【解析】由于little含有否定意味，所以當它置于句首時，其后要用倒裝句式，又如：Little did they know they were to be reunited ten years later. 他們簡直想不到10年后竟又能團聚。

【考點】考查情態動詞的用法。

【解析】“must + have + 過去分詞”表示對過去情況的肯定推測。句意為：我想，老師一定認為約翰遜是值得教的，要不然她就不會在他身上浪費時間了。

25. In my opinion, life in the twenty-first century is much easier than _________. (2007安徽卷)

A. that used to be                        B. it is used to

C. it was used to                         D. it used to be

【答案】D。

【解析】句子的意思是將現在的生活與過去的生活相比較，所以應用used to be結構，故可排除B和C；由于用于指代life的代詞應用it而不是that，故選D。

26. They became friends again that day. Until then, they _________ to each other for nearly two years. (2007安徽卷)

A. didn’t speak                             B. hadn’t spoken   

C. haven’t spoken                       D. haven’t been speaking

【答案】B。

【考點】考查動詞時態。

【解析】由于他們再次成為朋友發生在過去(因為became用的是一般過去時)，這就說明他們差不多有兩年沒說過話屬于“過去的過去”，所以要用過去完成時。

A. go by             B. go away        C. go out            D. go over

30. — Robert is indeed a wise man.

A. to take           B. taking            C. not to take     D. not taking

【答案】D(http://ask.yygrammar.com/)。

【考點】考查非謂語動詞的用法。
