Writing out all the invitations by hand was more time-consuming than we______.

A. will expect B. are expecting

C. expect D. had expected

 

D

【解析】考查时态。句意:“手写出所有的邀请函,比我们预想的更加地旷日持久。”expect显然发生在句子谓语was(一般过去时)之前,即故去的过去,所以要用过去完成时had done。

考点:过去完成时

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew (摄制组) out one evening to film the sunset for him.

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with the sunset?”

“No, sir.” The men answered.

The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted.” Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea,” Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it would look like a sunset.” “That’s a good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said,” Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of the beautiful bay(海湾).Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir.” They said and gave it to him. He was very pleased.

They all went to the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”

The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

1.One evening, the director sent his camera crew out______.

A. to watch a beautiful sunset

B. If you want to see a sunrise, the east coast is the place to go to.

C. The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day.

A. it went well with the separation of the hero and the heroine

B. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening

C. it was more moving than a sunrise

D. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset

4..After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands______.

Mark Thompson, the BBC’s director general, is expected to announce on Thursday that the BBC will quit its entire west London home -- possibly selling the land to Chelsea football club -- as part of main plans that will see more staff moved out of the capital to Salford and elsewhere.

The move is at the heart of the BBC’s long-awaiting cost-cutting strategy(策略)which will see nearly 2,000 more jobs going at the public broadcaster, and some original programming,such as daytime shows on BBC2, eliminated to save money.

Several thousand people are employed at the west London sites,including Thompson himself and the bosses of all the BBC’s television channels.The employees are expected to be relocated(重新安排)to Broadcasting House in central London, Salford, or elsewhere.

The BBC has been broadcasting at various locations in the Shepherd’s Bush area since moving into Lime Grove in 1949.It then switched to the Television Centre in 1960,and more modern offices at nearby White City.But it is now open to selling the site, and the broadcaster has had talks about attracting Premier League clubs Chelsea or Queen’s Park Rangers as buyers.Both clubs are looking for new homes.

Earlier leaks(透露)suggest that the BBC will seek to cut spending on sports where the corporation has already decided to share coverage of Formula 1 with Sky TV -- and imports,such as Mad Men and The Killing.BBC4 is expected to focus on “arts and archive(档案)”, but Thompson has long ruled out closing any channels or radio stations.BBC1 and Radio 4 will be protected,but there are expected to be some cuts to local radio programs, which will see stations share shows outside breakfast and drive-time hours.

The corporation is already committed to remove TV Centre by 2015, but because parts of the building are listed, the football clubs have expressed an interest in the BBC’s White City offices instead,which could be knocked down. The White City building is where Thompson and the broadcaster's commercial division, BBC Worldwide, are based.

BBC sources say the 2,500 job losses being proposed(提议)include the 650 cuts to the World Service already announced, with up to l,000 coming from BBC News.It is understood that some staff who have only just made the move to Salford could see their jobs at risk. Salford is now home to Radio5 Live, children’s programs such as Blue Peter, and sports output including Match of the Day.

1.Why is the BBC planning to quit its west London home?

A. The BBC wants to earn more money.

B. The BBC would like to support British football sport.

C. The BBC is planning to save money for new programs.

D. The BBC has to cut down its cost.

2.The underlined word “eliminated” in the second paragraph means“_________”.

A. set aside B. cut out C. sold out D.put on

3.What will happen if the BBC moves its home ?

A. Some original programmes will be adjusted.

B. All the BBC staff will have to work outside London.

C. More people will be employed for new programs.

D. Some TV channels or radio stations will be closed.

4.From the passage,we can learn that ________.

A. the BBC will cover Formula 1 on its own as usual

B. the football clubs are likely to buy some of the BBC’s offices

C. the BBC’s commercial division will be open to selling the sites

D. the BBC’s offices are all in the White City of London
