2、—Isyourmotheradoctor,Peter?—Yes,she________inChaoyangHospitalfornearly20years.

(1分)A、workedB、isworkingC、hasworkedD、willwork正确答案选项：参考答案：C解析句意——你妈妈是医生吗，彼得?——是的，她在朝阳医院工作快20年了。考查动词时态。worked一般过去时;isworking现在进行时;hasworked现在完成时;willwork一般将来时。根据fornearly20years可知，这是一个表示一段时间的时间状语，通常用于现在完成时态，而且动词应该用延续性动词，现在完成时态结构为have/has＋动词的过去分词，主语是she，助动词用has，work的过去分词是worked;故答案选C。

4、Itwasanexcitingmomentforthesefootballfansthisyear,（）forthefirsttimeinyearstheirteamwontheWorldCup.(1分)A、thatB、whileC、whichD、when正确答案选项：参考答案：D解析本题考查非限制性定语从句的用法。后面的句子“...forthefirsttimeinyearstheirteamwontheWorldCup”（他们的球队多年来第一次赢得了世界杯冠军）是完整的，因此不用关系代词而用关系副词。本句话的先行词为“thisyear”（今年），所以应当使用“when”，修饰表示时间的先行词，“when”在从句中担当时间状语。选项A,C都为关系代词，不符合本题；选项B的“while”不引导定语从句。本句句意为“今年对这些球迷来说是一个激动人心的时刻，他们的球队多年来第一次赢得了世界杯冠军”。因此本题答案为D。
