分析 电脑程序员大卫琼斯一年挣35000美元,但他无法找到一个可以让他有信用卡的银行,因为他还不到18岁.他说:"我想赚一百万,我想提前退休是可能的.你永远不会知道什么时候市场可能会消失."
解答 109.has been told 考查动词时态和语态.he与tell之间是动宾关系,且tell对现在产生的结果是"再等两年",用现在完成时的被动语态.
110.where 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词Liverpool在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where.
111.releases 考查动词时态.根据句中状语each month要用一般现在时态,且主语firm是单数三人称,谓语动词也应用单数三人称形式.
112.even if 考查连词.根据句意:尽管他挣很多钱,但他不能开车.用连词even if.
113.got 考查动词时态.根据句中状语four months ago要用一般过去时态.
114.had already written 考查动词时态.根据上下文语境,write发生在knew之间,即"过去的过去",要用过去完成时态.
115.is spent 考查动词时态.根据上一句用了一般现在时,but表示转折,本句也应用一般现在时,且主语most of his spare time与spend之间是动宾关系,用一般现在时的被动语态.
116.had been studying/had studied 考查动词时态.根据时间状语和上下文语境,是指在工作之间前时间里,用过去完成进行时,表示某一时间之前一直在发生的动作;或某一过去时间之前发生的动作,用过去完成时.
117.what 考查连词.do是及物动词,后缺少宾语,用what作其宾语,同时引导宾语从句.
118.may/might 考查情态动作.根据句意:你从来不知道这个市场什么时候会消失.用情态动词may/might.
