B.totestC.beingtested

D.testing參考答案：C【詳解】考查動(dòng)名詞用法。在英語(yǔ)中介詞的后面要接名詞或動(dòng)名詞做賓語(yǔ)，本句中介詞on的后面要接動(dòng)名詞doing短語(yǔ)，名詞English與test構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以使用動(dòng)名詞復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)的做on的賓語(yǔ)。句意：我們聽(tīng)說(shuō)了一些關(guān)于在高考中英語(yǔ)一年兩考的報(bào)道，這引起了人們的廣泛擔(dān)憂(yōu)。故C項(xiàng)正確。8.Noonereallyknowsforsure________makesapersonbecomeright-handedratherthanleft-handed.

A.worked.

B.wasworking.

C.haveworked.

D.Hadworked.參考答案：A考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。本句表示我過(guò)去在南京工作，現(xiàn)在不在那里工作了。這個(gè)動(dòng)作沒(méi)有延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，也沒(méi)有對(duì)現(xiàn)在產(chǎn)生影響。故不能用haveworked,而用worked。句意：我在南京工作了很多年，但是我從沒(méi)有后悔最終搬回淮安的決定。故選A。二、完型填空20.Mostpeopleneedtohear“Iloveyou”.Onceinawhile,theyhearthemjust
