B．hasgonedownC．havebroughtdown D．hasbroughtdown解析由句意知thenumberof＋n.作主語，表示“……的數量”，謂語用單數，故排除A、C兩項。godown是不及物動詞詞組，意為“(價格等)下降”；bringdown屬及物動詞詞組，在此處應用被動形式，故應選B項。答案B2．Besides,we'realltaxpayersso________weearn______taxwehavetopaytothosewhogovernus.A．well;that

B．wascomingintobeingC．hadcomeintobeing D．wouldcomeintobeing解析由句意知，本句是對將來情況進行假設的虛擬語氣，此時if從句謂語可用一般過去時或wereto/should＋do形式，主句謂語用would/could/might/should＋do形式。故應選A項。答案A7．Asasociety，it'shightimethatwe________theseissuesmoreseriously.A．take
