44、为“是没有用的”。25. I have two boys but _ of them likes sweetsA. both B.

45、edCto be found injured Dfound injured答案D解析。该题考查语法：非谓语。该句意为：所有事故中受伤的乘客都被及时送往附近的医院。首先要分析句子结构，该句主语是all the passengers，谓语是were sent to，空白处所要填的词是用来修饰主语的。主语all the passengers和选项中的findinjured这一动词之间的关系为被动事故中的乘客被发现受伤，所以在表示被动语态的C和D中选；从表示过去时态的谓语were sent to又可以发现该句描述的是过去发生的事，而C中的to是一个表示将来的动词不定式符号，所以选D。D中的found是

46、find的过去分词，后置做定语，相当于一个从句that/who have been found injured。27The big fire lasted as long as 24 hours _ it was brought under control.Aafter Bbefore Csince Dwhile答案B解析。该题考查语法：时间状语从句。该句意为：大火在得到控制前持续了整整24个小时。空白处前后皆为主谓完整的句子，由此可见空白处所需的为一个连词，而四个备选项皆可做连词，只不过语义以及主从时态略有区别。after在之后，before在之前，since自从，while相当于when，当。since引导的时间状语从句，一般情况下，从句谓语动词用一般过去时，而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时，与该题时态不符，所以排除，其余三个选项依其语义来看，before最符合28In this workshop, the output of July was three times _ of January.Athat Bthis Cone
