18、ed for some time.主体句式 A visit had been planned 结构分析这是一个简单句。主语a visit后面的介词短语是它的定语,而under介词短语是Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra的定语。句子译文 策划由指挥家SimonRattle指挥的柏林爱乐乐团的访问演出已经有一段时间了。(2) The Goethe-Institut and the German consulate-general are showing photographs, the Museum of Modern Art is screening films abou

23、all in July 2005”,分析marathon这个词的前后文,可以发现这个活动持续了17天,是一个历时很长的活动,因此正确答案为D选项。A和C选项也比较有迷惑性,因为这篇文章一直在谈论这个文化节。中文我们经常用到“马拉松式的”等表述来表明一个活动持续时间非常长,在这里也是相同的用法。2.
