题目内容
We all know it will be next June we can really have a rest.
A. when B. before C. since D. until
A
【解析】
试题分析:句意:我们都知道,要到明年六月份我们才能真正地休息下来。 before用于此处的句型为:It will be + 一段时间 + before从句。其中before从句用一般现在时,翻译为“要过多久才会怎么样”。
但是be后面的是指一段时间即时间段,而不是指某个具体的时间点next June; 如果是since引导,则since从句要求采用一般过去时,而主句采用一般现在时或现在完成时,其句型为:It is或It has been + 一段时间 + since从句,意思是“自从...以来已经多久了”。此句型要求be后面同样是一段时间,且since从句为一般过去时。如果单用until,则翻译为“一直如何,直到什么时候”。则句子翻译为“将会一直是明年六月,一直到我们可以真正休息下来为止”,明显不通。由上分析,可知答案BCD全部错误。故正确答案为A(用when引导定语从句),翻译为:我们都知道,到明年六月的时候我们才能真正休息下来,选A。
考点:考查定语从句
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.
