3、eated解析：句意為：有些健康問題，如果不及時處理，以后會變得更嚴重。when not treated in time為插入語，在本句中為時間狀語從句，把that can become bigger ones later on這個定語從句給隔開了。when引導時間狀語從句時，可以出現省略的現象，但必須滿足兩個條件：首先，時間狀語從句中的主語必須和主句主語一致；其次，從句中含有be動詞。本句中補充完整的狀語從句為：when they are not treated in time，其他選項形式不對。故答案為A項。答案：A4_ on this report，the English governm

10、n and women in that area over the past few years.Athat it is Bto beCthat it has been Dto have been解析：It is said that從句可轉為Sb./Sth.be said to do/to be doing/to have done的形式。由此可排除A、C兩項；由句子中的時間狀語“over the past few years”可知要用完成時，所以排除B項，選D項。答案：D13Why did he have to leave school?He happened to _ a laptop c

29、 and some stand as tall as a three­story building.Scientists think islanders began creating the moai some 800 years ago to honor their ancestors.In land，scientists found a volcanic crater (火山口) and dug out ancient tools there used to carve figures from the volcanic rock.But the crater is far fr
