A. did, hear from; got
B. have, heard from; have received
C. have, got a letter from; have got
D. did, hear from; have had
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析:句意:你什么时候收到你朋友Judy的来信的?上周,我已经收到她的信五天了。Hear from 收到某人来信,第一句用一般过去时,问时间。第二句根据for five days,用现在完成时。Receive 收到,是短暂性动词,不能与时间段连用,而have持有,是持续性动词,可以与时间段连用,故此题选D。
【题目】Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t rest on your laurels”? “Laurels” means the achievements you have already got. The saying means that you shouldn’t be so happy with your achievements(成就)that you’ll no longer try to improve.
As to this saying, Mike Perham has set us a good example. Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire, England, Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋). You might think the achievements are good enough, but Mike doesn’t think so. At the age of 17,he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage(航海). Mike is now 19, and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further. For his next try, he plans to fly around the world on his own, making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.
Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams. Since his achievements, he has travelled widely, speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Dream”.
Amazing Facts:
Mike started sailing when he was seven.
His trans-Atlantic crossing began at Gibraltar and ended in Antigua.
His round-the-world yacht(游艇) was called TotallyMoney.com.
