　　13．Much to their joy，the day they looked forward to ________at last.

　　A．comingB．had come

　　C．came

　　D．to come

　　解析：選C。注意此處的句子結構，主語是 the day，而they looked forward to 是省略引導詞 that 的定語從句，所以此處缺少謂語動詞。

　　【即境活用】

　　14.He looked forward to ________who was making a loud noise in the crowd.

　　A．see　B．seeing

　　C．seen

　　D．have seen

　　解析：選A。在此題干中，look forward 意為“向前看”，后面動詞不定式表目的。這道題很容易迷惑人，受思維定勢的影響，很容易選B。因此做題時應注意句子結構和句意。

　　① 【教材原句】　 In other words, there are

　　three times as many girls as boys.(P3)
