C．have been; were expecting
D．a(chǎn)re; were expecting

Answer 1

D

本題考查時(shí)態(tài)。首先排除A、D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)，因?yàn)閺念}干可知現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)看到對方了，所以不擔(dān)心了，擔(dān)心是過去的狀態(tài)。再看B項(xiàng)，第一個(gè)空格用過去時(shí)是可以的，但第二個(gè)空格用過去完成時(shí)had expected表示“本來期望”，顯然與題意不符。D項(xiàng)的第一空用了現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，表示狀態(tài)從過去開始發(fā)生，到現(xiàn)在已完成，符合題意，現(xiàn)在已不擔(dān)心，第二空用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)，表示在過去的某段時(shí)間內(nèi)一直持續(xù)的動(dòng)作，“一直盼望你回來”，跟后面的時(shí)間狀語throughout the night“整夜”相符。throughout后面還可接地點(diǎn)，如：throughout the world =" all" over the world，但all though后面只能接表示時(shí)間的名詞，如：all through the night =" throughout" the night。
