Mr. Smith let off upon me the speech he_...

Mr. Smith let off upon me the speech he_______ to make all along.

A. had died    B. died

C. was dying    D. had been dying

 

D 【解析】 句意:史密斯先生向我不断练习一个他一直就渴望做的演讲。本句正常语序是:Mr. Smith let off the speech…upon me。Let off本意是:开枪,这里引申为“不断练习”,upon表示说话的对像。看四个选项,可以断定这是考查时态。考查时态,一看时态标志词,二看动作的先后顺序。时态标志词all along,这是进行时的标志,一般还有the whole day/night, all the ime等;let off动作发生在过去。先后顺序:先准备演讲die to make the speech,然后是let off的过去的动作,所以die to这个动作是发生在过去的过去,应用过去完成进行时。be dying to do sth非常渴望做某事。故判断选D。
