参考答案：B
答案解析：
since引导的状语从句中，从句谓语动词一般用过去时，主句谓语动词则用现在完成时。B选项has been complaining为现在完成进行时，表示动作的反复或持续进行。该句意思是：“自从他来到这里，他就一直在抱怨天气。”
周宇翻译第10题：
Millions of Americans flock to their drugstore to buy vitamins and minerals, ______that the pills can help to prevent rious illness.
A.convincing
B.convinced
C.to convince
D.to be convinced
参考答案：B
答案解析：
convince一词属于及物动词，后面要求跟宾语。一般的用法是跟一个直接宾语和一个间接宾语，即convince somebody of sth．。此句中的somebody是millions of Americans，在句中作了主语，所以con vince应该用被动语态形式，being convinced和convinced都算对。A项选择的convincing不是被动语态，而C和D选项的不定式都包含将来时间的概念，在本delicately
句话中的用法和意思都不对。

Perhaps the most familiar plant movement belongs to one species of mimosa called the nsitive plant. Within conds, it can lower its leaves and make its tiny leaflets clo up like folding chairs. This movement is thought to be initiated by electrical impuls remarkably similar to nerve signals in animals.

For motion, the plant depends on tiny, bulb-shaped organs located at the ba of each leaf stalk and leaflet. Called pulvini, the organs hold the plant parts in place. When the mimosa is stimulated--say, by a crawling inct or a sudden change in temperature--an electrical impul sweeps through the plant. This caus potassium and then water to be shifted from certain cells in the pulvini to others, quickly turning one side of the organs flaccid.
