答案:1)B 2)D 3)D 4)Up to now/So far/Until now/Till now
2.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed,so they could feel more content with their lives.
在感到沮丧的时候,他可以使他们开怀大笑,于是人们就对自己的生活感到比较满足。
剖析:1)本句是由so连接的并列复合句,前后存在因果关系。
2)在前一个分句中,包含了一个定语从句when they felt depressed,用来修饰a time。
when引导定语从句时,所修饰的先行词应是表示时间的词。如:
I will never forget the days when we worked together.
我永远不会忘记我们一起工作的日子。
当先行词为表示时间的词时,定语从句的引导词有时不用when,而用that或which。其区别在于:
when引导定语从句时,when在从句中作状语;而that或which引导定语从句时,that或which在从句中作主语或宾语。
因此当先行词为表示时间的词时,还要根据从句是缺少状语还是缺少主语或宾语来断定应用哪个引导词。
考点 content adj.满足的;满意的 n.满足 vt. 使满足
I'm more than content that they've done everything I asked.
他们做了我要他们做的一切,对此我非常心满意足。
Your mother contents with what you have done.
你妈妈对你做得很满意。
归纳:content作形容词时,可接that从句。
考点延伸 1)content用作名词,还有"目录,内容"的含义,常用复数形式。如:
a contents page 目录页
