单选题
A. replies B. replying C. reply D. replied
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】高级问题 空格前是一个连词，紧接着只填入一个动词，是不是觉得很奇怪?而这恰恰是一条解题妙方。连词后没有主语。直接跟动词的现在分词或过去分词，构成状语成分。因此，空格内填入 B选项或D选项都有可能。而这里状语成分修饰的是后面句子的主语，后面是一个祈使句，隐含 的主语是you，因此正确答案应为主动语态的-ing形式。 [高频词语] resign 退休 (=step down) tenure 任期 state-of-the-art 最尖端的 (=cutting edge) in addition 另 外 in his future endeavors 在他将来的努力中
