Question

She ______ on a new novel ever since this summer and it is supposed to ______ at the beginning of 2011.

1. A.
   had worked; be published
2. B.
   had been working; have published
3. C.
   has worked; publish
4. D.
   has been working; be published

Answer 1

D
考查时态及语态。第一空根据句意自从今年夏天开始她就在一直从事一部新小说，可知动作还要持续下去，故用现在完成进行时，第二空考查固定短语: be supposed to do 应该做某事，根据句意在2011年初应该被出版，应用被动语态，所以选D。
