B
【解析】
由by the end of last year可知，应该用过去完成时。 When I got there, I realized that I ______ my glasses at home.
A. forgot B. had forgot C. left D. had left
D
【解析】
句意：当我到达那里时，我意识到我把眼镜落在家里了。结合句意可知将眼镜落在家里的动作发生在got there之前，也就是过去的过去，故用过去完成时态，其构成为：had+动词过去分词；leave 表示把某物落在某地；forget sth.意为“忘记某事”，所以这里应用leave，leave的过去分词是left，故答案选D。 I believe what he said. It seems ________ to the fact.
A. close B. closed C. far D. further
A
【解析】
句意：我相信他的话，他的话似乎接近事实。考查形容词。A. close关、接近的；B. closed关闭的；C. far远的；D. further更远的。根据前句 “我相信他的话”，可知后句为“他的话似乎接近事实”，seem后接形容词，close在此作形容词，意为“接近的”。而closed作形容词，一般指门、窗等是“关闭的”；所以A选项符合题意，故答案选A。 He _______without saying goodbye.
A. went with B. went off C. went on D. went in
B

C
【解析】
句意：你知道他最近发生了什么事情吗？考查现在完成时。A. is happening现在进行时；B. is happened一般现在时的被动语态；C. has happened现在完成时；D. happened一般过去时。happen没有被动语态，所以排除B选项；由句子的时间状语recently可知时态是现在完成时，所以排除A、D选项；故答案选C。 The little girl felt _______ at being the center of attention.

A. have got B. got C. were got D. have been
D
【解析】
句意：他们俩都结婚50多年了。根据for more than fifty years可知，这是一个表示一段时间的时间状语，而get married是瞬间性动词，不能和表示一段时间的状语连用，所以A、B、C选项排除；而marry也是瞬间性动词，不能和表示一段时间的状语连用，所以要用be married，它后面可以跟表示一段时间的状语，结合语境可知时态用现在完成时，现在完成时... I was late for school this morning because I ________ .
