____ St Paul’s Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid when first _____!
A.There followed; built
B.There following ; built
C.There followed; building
D.There following ; building
答案:A
题目分析:句意:接着参观的是圣·保罗大教堂,它是公元1666年伦敦大火以后建造的。当第一次被建好时它看起来金碧辉煌。There followed意为“接着,随后”,是倒装句型。When后是省略句,完整的是when it was first built,故选A。
点评:本题难度适中。倒装及省略是高中阶段重要的两个语法项目,把两者放在一起考查更增加了试题的难度,需要考生牢记倒装和省略的各种情况。
