C. at last D. lately

Answer 1

A

【解析】考查副词/介词短语辨析。A. finally: 在列举事物或论点时，用来引出最后一项内容；或用在句中动词前面，表示“等了好久才……”。例如：Finally I’d like to thank you all for your coming . 最后我要感谢诸位的光临。B. in the end: 强调结局，有时可与at last 换用，不同的是in the end 也可以用于指将来时。例如：All will come right in the end . 到头来一切都会好的。He tried many times to pass the examination , and in the end he succeeded. 他多次努力想通过考试，最后成功了。C. at last: 指经过周折、等待、耽搁后的“最后，终于”得到所期待的结果。例如：Man has reached the moon at last.人类终于登上了月球。D. Lately:近来，最近。We've been doing a lot of gardening lately. 近来我们做了很多园艺工作. 而该句句意：“4个警察骑着摩托驶过，紧随其后的是电视播音车，‘最后’跟着是马拉松运动员。（描述马拉松比赛的场景）”，该空所填副词意为“最后”，且强调动作发生的先后顺序，故正确答案为A.
