D.hadlookedafter【答案】A【详析】考查现在完成进行时。句意：你看见我的Think和StepStepUP了吗？我从早上7:30就一直在找它们。lookfor(寻找)，lookafter(照顾)，根据句意，此处表示从过去某一时间点开始一直持续到现在的动作，并有可能还会持续下去，应用现在完成进行时，故选A。2.IfithadnotbeenforthehelpfromtheStudents’Union,theWFLS2024NewYearParty______sosmoothly.A.shouldn’tgo B.wouldgo C.wouldn’thavegone D.went【答案】C【详析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果没有学生会的帮助，WFLS2024新年派对就不会如此顺利。If引导虚拟条件句，根据句中hadnotbeen可知，句子描述过去的情况，且结合语意，实际上有学生会的帮助，新年派对很顺利，句子表示与过去的事实相反，使用虚拟语气，主句谓语使用wouldhavedone结构。故选C。3.—Couldyoumeetmeattheairport?—I’dliketo,butI’mafraidIaveryimportantmeetingwhenyoureturn.A.amattending B.wasattendingC.willbeattending D.willhaveattended【答案】C【详析】考查时态。句意：——你能来机场接我吗？——我想去，但恐怕当你回来时我正在开会。分析可知，此处指我在开会的动作和你回来的时间为同一时间，句式：bedoing...when...“当做……时正在做……”，结合句中“whenyoureturn”，所以空白处用将来进行时。选项C符合题意，故选C项。4.Hurryup!Theconcertwillbeginathalfpasteight.Theperformers_________halfanhourwhenyouarrive.A.willbeplaying

B.was/wentC.were/shouldgo D.was/go【答案】D【详析】考查一般过去时和虚拟语气。句意：他的面部表情表明他很不耐烦，这就是为什么我建议他出去呼吸一些新鲜空气。分析句子可知，第一空前的suggested作“暗示；表明”讲，后面的从句中不用虚拟语气，结合句子时态可知为一般过去时；第二空前的suggested作“建议”讲，后面的宾语从句用虚拟语气，即should+动词原形，should可以省略。故选D项。6.Iftheyearlierthanexpected,theyherenow.A.hadstarted;wouldbe B.started;mightbeC.hadstarted;wouldhavebeen D.willstart;mighthavebeen【答案】A【详析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果他们比预期早出发，他们现在就在这里。这是一个混合虚拟语气的句子，从句是对过去的假设，故要用haddone；主句中有now，是对现在的假设，故要用would/could/mightdo。故选A。7.Youdidn’ttakehisadvice.________hisadvice,you________suchamistake.A.Wereyoutotake;shouldn’thavemadeB.Ifyouhadtaken;wouldmakeC.Hadyoutaken;wouldn’thavemadeD.Haveyoutaken;won’thavemade【答案】C【详析】考查与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。句意：你没有采纳他的建议。要是你采纳了的话，你就不会犯这样的错误了。根据“Youdidn’ttakehisadvice”，可知本句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。表示与过去的事实相反的结构为“If+主语+haddone，主语+wouldhavedone”。若将if省略，则助动词had提到主语之前。故选C项。8.Laterinthischaptercaseswillbeintroducedtoreaders__consumercomplaintshaveresultedinchangesinthelaw.A.where

B.ofwhich C.that D.whose【答案】D【详析】考查定语从句。句意：我出生在路易斯安那，新奥尔良，一个名词能让人想到美丽的树和绿草的城市。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为acity，关系词代替它在从句中作定语，修饰名词name，且构成所属关系，应用关系代词whose。故选D。10.Betweenthetwopartsoftheconcertisaninterval,________theaudiencecanbuyice­cream.A.when
