D.deal;becoming参考答案：A15.--Haven’tseenLucyrecently.What’shappened?

--Oh,it’smorethantwomonths______sheworkedhere.

A.before B.after C.since D.when参考答案：C考查连词词义辨析。before在……之前；after在……之后；since自从……；when当……时候。句意：—最近没有见到Lucy，发生什么事了吗？—她不在这儿工作已经两个多月了。since引导时间状语从句，从句常用一般过去时，主句为现在完成时。若主句表示一段时间，也可用一般现在时态。如果从句中的谓语动词为延续性动词，要翻译成否定意思。在本题中，该空前后的时态符合since的用法，且work是延续性动词，故翻译成否定意思，与语境相符。C选项正确。二、新的题型16.Successnevercomeseasy.Peopleoftenhavetoovercomefailures61._______theycanachievesomethinggreat.Theyusuallydon’tfindsuccessfromtheverybeginning.VanGoghsoldonlyonepaintingduringhislifetime,butthisdidn’tstophimfromcompletingover800paintings.ThomasEdison62._______(fire)fromhisfirsttwojobsforlackofcompetence.Later,asaninventor,hetried1,000times63.________(create)thelightbulb,withoutsuccess.Hewasconfidentin64._______(he),and65._______(eventual)hedidsucceed.When66._______(ask),“Howdiditfeeltofail1,000times?”Edisonreplied,“Ididn’tfail1,000times.Thelightbulbwas67._______inventionwith1,000steps.Thesesuccessfulpeoplehavesetgood68._________(example)tous.Theywouldn’thaveachievedtheirsuccessifthey69.___________(abandon)theirdreams.Believeinyourselfandtryyourbest,andsuccesswillnotbefar70._______you.
