It is the first time +that分句Test EightIt is the first time +that分句在“It is/was/will be the first time+that分句”结构中，当主句动词为is/will be时，that分句动词一律用现在完成体，引导词that可以省略。例如：It is the first time Ive been here.Dont forget, itll be the first time Ive spoken in public.当主句动词为was时，that分句动词通常用过去完成体。例如：It was the first time shed been at a summer school and she thoroughly enjoyed it.近义词辨析fast, hasty, quick, rapid, speedy, swift这组词均含有“迅速的”，“快捷的”的意思。fast强调速度快，且保持不变；又指钟表的时间超过准确的时间。We took a fast train to Beijing.我们坐快车来北京。hasty指匆忙、急促，涉及因此而引起的慌乱、疏漏。Dont arrive at hasty conclusions.别匆忙下结论。quick强调动作、行为发生得突然且持续时间短。指人时，暗示聪明、领悟快。The tiger took a quick leap at the sheep.老虎猛地向羊扑去。rapid指就整个过程来讲速度快，但并不一定指这一过程的速度始终均匀不变。The growth of the economy has been rapid in recent years.近年来，经济增长速度很快。speedy指人处理问题迅速或物体运转速度快。His accusations brought a speedy denial.他的指控马上遭到了否认。swift与fast和quick同义，但带有文学色彩。Eagles are swift in flight.鹰飞得很快。全真模拟试题1.
