题目内容
--- When will they finish filming the documentary? --- _________________.
A. Until next month B. Not until next week
C. A month later D. For a month
B
【解析】
试题分析：句意:-他们什么时候能完成这个纪录片的拍摄？-下周。until 用在肯定句中时，表示一个动作一直持续到until 表示的时间，所以谓语动词应该是持续性的，这里的finish是瞬间性的，故Ａ不对；for a month 表示的是一段时间；a month later 应该和一般过去时态连用；until 用在否定句中表示直到……时候，才……，符合句意，故选B。
考点：考查情景对话。
If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
Always start the meeting on time. If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time shows the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
Select a note-taker or have the meeting recorded. You may need to go back to something that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
Learn to listen. So many times we think about what we are going to say and, in the process, miss important points that other group members may be contributing （做贡献）. What’s more, we often hear only what we want to hear, instead of really listening to other people. Meetings with effective listening are successful meetings.
Keep the discussion on track（轨道）. Many times an important topic can get sidetracked(转变话题) in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. Ask members who have different opinions to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and reduce the chances of wasting group members’ time of great value.
Give everyone an opportunity to be heard. Some people like to control meetings, while others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas freely.
End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.
