My mother, Jane, was 18 when her father died and was already in an ( ) marriage.

　　A. arranging

　　B. planed

　　C. planning

　　D. arranged

　　【答案】D。plan表计划，arrange表筹办，所以arrange跟婚姻更搭配，排除选项BC。且婚姻是人主动筹办婚姻，换言之婚姻是“被筹办”。所以这里用arranged被动形式更符合语境，故正确答案是选项D。

　　( ), she would do almost anything to get away from here.

　　A. Winter come

　　B. Winter came

　　C. Coming winter

　　D. Winter coming

　　【答案】D。由题干would do(某人将会……)可看出，前半句是一个条件状语从句，可以理解为If winter comes。而四个选项没有If winter comes，但是独立主格“名词+动词的现在分词or过去分词”也可以起到相应的作用，winter和come之间是主动关系，所以选D。
