Question

18. ―Bruto, have you handed in your application? Today is the deadline.

―Not yet. I    the necessary materials this week.

A. prepared         B. was preparing

C. have prepared     D. have been preparing

Answer 1

18.   D考査动词的时态。句意："布鲁托，你交了你的申请了吗？今天是最后期限。""还没有。我这周一直都在准备必要的材料。"根据句中的时间状语this week可知，这周从过去到现在一直在准备材料，所以用现在完成进行时。
