19．Mr．Leslie，who             in Taiyuan for three years in the 1980's，is now a well-know lawyer in London．（　　）
A．has workedB．workedC．was workingD．would work

分析 莱斯利先生是伦敦的一位著名的律师，他在二十世纪八十年代在太原工作了三年．

解答 答案是B．
本题考查动词的时态．一般过去时表示过去某一时候或某一段时间所发生了的事情或存在的状态，根据题干提供的时间"在二十世纪八十年代工作了三年"，指的就是过去某一段时间所发生了的事情或存在的状态，所以要用过去时，故答案选B．

点评 动词时态的考点是近几年高考试题考查的重中之重，但是对于每一种动词时态的意义一定要清楚掌握，谓语动词要与时间状语保持一致，时态与时间密不可分，各种时态却要受到时间和语言环境的限制，根据时间来判断句子的时态是最直接的解题方法．

3．At one point along an open highway，I came to a crossroad with a traffic light．I was alone on the road，but（16）as/when  I drove up to the light，it turned red，and I braked to（17）a   stop．I look left，right，and behind me．Nothing．Not a car，no suggestion of headlights，but there I sat，waiting for the light（18）to change  （change）．I was the only human being for at least a mile in any direction．
I started wondering（19）why I refused to run the light．I was not afraid of being caught by the police，because there was（20）obviously（obvious） no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no danger in going  through  it．Much（21）later  （late） that night，the same  question of why I（22）had stopped（stop） for that light came back to me．I think I stopped because it's part of a contract （合同） we all have  with  each other．It's not only the law，but it's an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor（23）it：we don't go through red lights．Like most of（24）us，I'm more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law（25）againstit．
4．The Process of Ageing
At the age of twelve years，the human body is at its most vigorous．It has yet to reach its full size and strength，and its owner his or her full intelligence； but at this age the possibility of death is least．Earlier，we were infants and young children，and consequently more vulnerable （易受伤的）； later，we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigour and resistance which，though vague at first，will finally become so steep that we can live no longer，however well we look after ourselves，and however well society，and our doctors，look after us．
This decline in vigour with the passing of time is called ageing．It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way，that if we escape wars，accidents and disease we shall eventually"die of old age"，and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person，so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty．Some of us will die sooner，a few will live longer----on into a ninth or tenth decade．But the chances are against it，and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive，however lucky and physically strong we are．
Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it．We are so familiar with the fact that man ages，that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigour with time，of becoming more likely to die the older we get，was something self-evident，like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes．They have also assumed that all animals，and probably other organisms such as trees，or even the universe itself，must in the nature of things"wear out"．
Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do，if given the chance to live long enough； and mechanical systems like a wound （上发条的） watch，or the sun，do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics （热力学）．But these are not similar or equivalent to what happens when man ages．A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound．An old watch，by contrast，becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending．But a watch could never repair itself-it does not consist of living parts，only of metal，which wears away by friction （摩擦）．We could，at one time，repair ourselves-well enough，at least，to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents．Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power，an illness which at twelve would knock us over，at eighty can knock us out，and into our grave．If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve，it would take about 700 years for half of us to die，and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again．
