9、發(fā)生在將來的動作；由于主語carfree sundays 與謂語動詞hold構成被動關系；因此，本句應使用一般將來時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)（will+be+done）；故選b本題考查了一般將來時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)（will+be+done）的用法；做類似的題時，首先應根據句中的時間狀語確定句子的時態(tài)，然后判斷主語與謂語動詞是否構成被動關系；另外，還需要熟練掌握不同時態(tài)的被動語態(tài)的句式結構9. - why was jackson searching shop after shop for a sweater?  -oh, he was very _ about his clothes. &#
