1.(2019课标全国卷Ⅱ)Picking up her “Lifetime Achievement” award, proud Irene (declare) she had no plans to retire from her 36-year-old business.
1. 答案 declared 考查动词的时态。陈述过去发生的事情需用一般过去时,故填declared。
2.(2018课标全国卷Ⅰ)While running regularly can't make you live forever, the review says it (be) more effective at lengthening life than walking, cycling or swimming.
2. 答案 is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句中宾语从句与主句的时态应保持一致,故用一般现在时;宾语从句中的主语为it,故用is。
