B.has been sent D.are sent
C.have been sent
答案 C [考查主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,已有大量的粮食被送往非洲以拯救饥民。up to now通常与现在完成时连用;“large quantities of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词往往用复数形式。]

B.to solving;made
C.to solve;making D.to solve;made

B.is said to have bought D.has said to have bought

12.It has been two years since this party________.Many people wonder whether it will stay on. A.has been in power C.took office
B.has come to power D.came to power
答案 D [考查时态。come to power“掌权,执政”,为短暂性动词短语,因第一个句子中的主句用了现在完成时,从句由since引导,故D项符合。] 13.When you have finished the book, please________it on the shelf. A.replace
B.devote
C.consider D.equip
答案 A [考查动词词义辨析。句意:你看完这本书后请把它放回架子上。replace sth+prep./adv.意为“把某物放回……”。]
