B

解析试题分析:考查时态。本题叙述了过去发生的事情,所以使用一般过去时。句意:在加入国防部之前,Mr. Panetta在2009年2月到2011年7月在中央情报局工作。本题只是叙述了过去发生的事情,并没有反应出对现在的影响,也没有延续到现在,使用使用过去时。故B正确。
考点:考查时态
点评:试题的考查要根据上下文的语境和句子中的关键词。本题就是根据上下文的语境来进行辨析的。

courage to try, and the nation voted him the winner.

released on January 10.
     "Shayne has got a magnetic (磁性的) voice,and his songs are rhythmic and soothing
(舒心的) to listen to, "said Feng Yu, a Senior 2 student from Beijing Xicheng Foreign
Language School, who came to support him.

beautiful looks. He also has a passion for performing on stage and a determination to
go after his dream.

with three brothers and three sisters , and money was tight.

making everything from chocolate to clothes to cardboard boxes. But he never forgot
his true love was music.

The band auditioned (试镜) for the X-Factor series, but got nowhere. A year later.

ones going away looking sad. "

too far ahead. "
