BAAC。
二、对分词的考查热点

分析：单个分词作定语要前置，若是分词短语作定语，必须后置。如果分词
与所修饰的名词在逻辑上是主 动关系，就用现在分词，如果是被动关系就用过
去分词。所以上述考题的答案是：DCDAA。

分析：过去进行时表示过去某一时刻或某段时间正在进行的动作或存在的状
态，试题常带有时间状语或时 间状语从句。若没有时间状语，就把过去某一动
作作为叙述的背景，以说明另一动作的发生。所以上述考题的 容案是：ABBBD。

过去发生且完成，但对现在仍 有影响。另外，在"This is(was)the first time
(the second……)＋that从句”中，从句谓语只能用完 成时态。所以上述考题
的答案是：ABDDD。

C.I didn‘t realize D.I realize
分析：not…until…结构也可用"It is（was）＋not until …＋that＋其
它成份"句型强调，强调结构 中只能用连词that。若not until…位于句首时，
只能用"not until …＋助动词＋主语＋动词原形"结构，即主句主谓语要部
分倒装。所以上述考题的答案是：BCAB。
