Read Paragraph 2 and fill in the chart.
When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.

Pay attention to the sentences.
语法一:现在进行时

C.is bought D.was bought
【解析】根据句意可知,回答中的主语It指代的是上面提
到的ticket,故它和动词buy之间构成被动的关系,因此用
被动语态,排除A和B。根据句意可知,这张票是过去买的,
应该用一般过去时态,故选D。
D
Exercise
2) 主动语态中,在make,let,hear,see,
watch,notice等词后跟省略to的动词不定式,

【解析】根据时间状语since 引导的从句可知主句应用现在完成时,B项不能与since连用,所以选D。
D
