全豹(A) travel
(B) to travel
(C) traveling them
(D) traveling
土窖答案：D

解题要点：时间状语从句的连词(when,while)后可直接加分词短语。条件是这一从句的主语应与主句的主语同一人／物。

答案：B
测试点：词序。
分析：exert的宾语应是名词influence，应在答案中分辨哪个是以influence为中心词的词，即(B)．
解题要点；多个形容词修饰名词时词序排列是有规律的．其中心词名词位置一般在最后，冠词在最前面．其间的多个形容词则依与中心名词的修饰关系的强弱而从后往前排列．此句首先强调的是一个全球性的影响(world wide influence)然后再说明这个“全球性影响”是巨大的(agreat worldwide influencc)．
