问题
选择题
Of these two basketball teams, the former comes from the US; the comes from England.
A.late
B.later
C.latter
D.lately
答案
C
题目分析:词义辨析。Late adj 晚的,迟的;later较晚,后来;latter后者(与former形成呼应);lately副词近来,与现在完成时连用。本题只的latter与former形成呼应。The former指前者;the latter指后者;句意:在这两支篮球队中,前者来自美国,后者来自英国。故C正确。
点评:本题考查了late构成的几个不同的词,要注意其词性和词义的区别,同时也要注意它们与不同时态的转化使用。
