A．killed B．killing C．kills D．to kill 解析　句中逗号后没有任何连词，因此不是并列谓语，可排除A项；C 项时态不对也可排除；现在分词killing可作状语表示飞机坠毁的结果，而不定式作结果状语时往往用only to do形式。 答案　B By the time it ended，more than 700 people had been killed and 2,700 had been injured. 到这次飓风结束时，共有700多人死亡，2 700多人受伤。 本句中by the time作连词用，引导时间状语从句，意为“到……为止；不迟于……”。其用法为： (1)如果其引导的从句用一般现在时，主句则用将来时或将来完成时； 3． (2)如果其引导的从句用一般过去时，主句则用过去完成时。 By the time this letter reaches you, I will have left the country. 当你收到这封信时，我将已离开这个国家了。 By the time she was 15, she had written three long novels. 当15岁时，她已经写了三部长篇小说。 用动词的适当形式填空 ①By the time we arrive at the area stricken by the earthquake，the rescue work (start)． ②The experiment (finish) by the time the professor came in. ③By the time you come here tomorrow，I (leave)． had started had been finished will have left Thanks! 【温馨提醒】 experience常出现在单项填空中。作名词用时，作“经验”讲时，是不可数名词，如：rich experience；作“经历”讲时，是可数名词。如：a terrible experience一次可怕的经历。当动词讲时意为“体验，经历”，是及物动词。 Although Robert has rich________in hunting，he had________frightening experience last Saturday—he was almost killed by a lion. A．experiences；/ B．experience；/ C．experience；a D．experiences；the 解析　句意：虽然罗伯特有丰富的打猎经验，但是他上周六有一次可怕的经历——他差一点就被一头狮子吃掉。第一个空用experience 表示“经验”；第二个空后的experience 表示“经历”，此时它是可数名词，故其前须用冠词。 答案　C 【单项填空】 cause (1)n.原因，起因 Carelessness is often
