We all know laws to discourage the use of plastic bags _______ in many parts of the world.
- A.passed
- B.have passed
- C.had been passed
- D.have been passed
考查动词的时态。句意为“我们都知道不提倡使用塑料袋规定已经在世界许多地方通过”。主语为laws,用被动是一定的。根据语境可知用had been passed明显错误,只有D可以理解。此处用were passed也可。完成时态与过去时态的理解和辨析一直是高考重点,同时也是学生的难点。
As we all know, language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year with few changes, the language does not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major(主要) language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divide them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3 percent of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.
