1.Before 1966 in the land we now call Great Britain ________ people belonging to two major language groups.
A. lived B. lives
C. has lived D. are living
答案与解析：A 由时间状语before 1966可知该句用一般过去时，介词短语in the land置于句首，该句应该用完全倒装形式，故选A项。句子主干的正常语序为：People lived in the land.。
2．I ________ you not to give up that job—now, where can you find a better one?
A. told B. were telling
C. had told D. tell
答案与解析：A 句意：我告诉过你不要放弃那份工作，现在你到哪里去找一份更好的呢？“告诉”为过去的动作，故用一般过去时。
