B. before, put off
C. since, set off
D. when, kicked off
答案:
A. that, broke off
B. before, put off
C. since, set off
(答案→)D. when, kicked off
解析:句意:在2月8号冬季奥运会在俄罗斯举行。这里用when引导时间状语从句,it指时间,考生容易错选成是强调句,It is/was+强调部分+that…,判断是否是强调句的方法是:去掉强调结构,如果这句话仍然成立,这句话如果改成简单句是the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Russia Feb 8 (Beijing).可见不是个完整的句子:缺少介词on,所以不是强调句,第二空填kick off中线开球,<口>(使)开始,break off折断,中断,put off推迟,set off出发,引起,引爆,所以选D。
