Re: Museum Event
Dear Beatriz,
I"m sorry for the delayed response to your e-mail. I"ve been busy all day making arrangements for the inauguration of the Natural Science Museum.
The guest list for the event ______. I took care of that this morning and also sent invitations to major broadcasting companies and newspapers to ensure full media coverage of our event. Although we are done with the guest list, there are still some changes ______ in the program.
I spoke with the museum"s chief curator this morning to finalize the details of the performances, and she asked that we make a shorter line-up for the ______ ceremony so that the guests will have more time to enjoy the sights at the museum. In addition, she wants us to purchase some small souvenir items that can be given away to those in attendance.
Perhaps we should meet with the team to revise the program and discuss the souvenir items. Please reply to this e-mail as soon as possible so that we can post an announcement for the staff tomorrow. Thanks.
Best regards,
Harold
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 现在完成时 把握上下文
根据“参加活动的客人名单已经被修改”的句意尚不能确定空格处动词的时态,应该注意把握上下文。后面的句子中提到今早关注了这件事情,表明事情已经完成,并对现在造成了影响。因此正确答案是现在完成时B. has been revised。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 不定式结构的作用
本句是包含主要成分“there are still some changes”的完整句,所以应该将“______ in the program”看作是修饰空格前面的名词changes的修饰语。可以作修饰语的不定式结构A和C都可能是正确答案。被修饰的名词changes和空格处所填动词make之间是被动关系,所以C. to be made是正确答案。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 名词词汇 把握全文
根据“我们缩短了______仪式”的句意无法选出正确答案,所以应该把握整体文段。在文段的前半部分中提到忙于博物馆开馆仪式后,整个文段都在介绍有关博物馆开馆仪式的详细事项。所以名词C. opening(开馆,开幕)是正确答案。A. award意为“奖,奖品”,B. graduation意为“毕业”,D. signing意为“签名”。
