21. —How did you find the long talk given by the headmaster on Teachers’ Day?
— ________ ．I’d rather he ________ it short．
A．Very well；made B．Boring；had made
C．Dull；made D．Exciting；had made
【解析】选B。句意为：——你觉得校长在教师节作的长篇报告怎么样？——没意思。我宁愿他作简短些。boring令人厌烦的，符合语意。I’d rather后接句子时，应用虚拟语气，因为事情发生在过去，因此与过去事实相反，故应用过去完成时。
