题目内容
It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate what they __ for me.
- A.had done
- B.did
- C.would do
- D.were doing
试题分析:句意:我花费了很长的时间才能够完全领会他们为我所做的。句中was able to 都发生在过去的时间,而根据句意他们为我所做的,应该已经做完了,发生在took这个动作之前,即过去的过去,故选A
考点:时态
点评:动词的时态是学习英语过程中非常重要的知识。而很多的题目,句中并没有像本题一样有明确的时间,很多要通过上下文的判断得知。过去完成时表示动作发生在过去的过去,本题不难,平时加强记忆,理解即可。
Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s 【小题1】 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so 【小题2】 that I decided to write an article about her.
I 【小题3】 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 【小题4】 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 【小题5】 I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 【小题6】 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 【小题7】 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 【小题8】 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 【小题9】 draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript 【小题10】 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 【小题11】 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 【小题12】 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While 【小题13】 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 【小题14】 :
Ms. Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some more relevant materials. Please 【小题15】 those and return the article immediately. We would like to 【小题16】 your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to 【小题17】 . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of 【小题18】 writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. 【小题19】 this experience, I’ve learned a very important lesson: You can’t 【小题20】 to doubt yourself.
