Question

____ St Paul’s Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid when first _____!

A．There followed; built

B．There following ; built

C．There followed; building

D．There following ; building

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意：接着参观的是圣·保罗大教堂，它是公元1666年伦敦大火以后建造的。当第一次被建好时它看起来金碧辉煌。There followed意为“接着，随后”，是倒装句型。When后是省略句，完整的是when it was first built，故选A。
点评：本题难度适中。倒装及省略是高中阶段重要的两个语法项目，把两者放在一起考查更增加了试题的难度，需要考生牢记倒装和省略的各种情况。
