Nearly ： A。句意：因为喝咖啡只是偶然的事情，故大多数时候喝茶，故选 A。 almost意为 “几乎 ”;mostly主要地；通常。 Nothing that he suggested _ to be of any use. A prove B proved C proving D h
42、as been proved 答案： B 试题分析：句意：他提的建议证明对我们没有用。这里 he suggested是定语从句，整个句子的主语是 nothing，所以这里缺少谓语动词；根据 suggested判断谓语动词应该用过去式，故选 B。 考点：考查动词时态的用法。 点评：本题难度适中。动词时态的考查与一定的语境结合一起增加了试题的难度，有的考生时态的用法背的很熟，但在不同的语境下，就做不对了，提醒考生一定要会分析理解语境。这里考生容易误选 D。 即学即练： In the last few years thousands of films all over the world. A.ha
