A. that used to be
B. it is used to
C. it was used to
D. it used to be
答案:
A. that used to be
B. it is used to
C. it was used to
(答案→)D. it used to be
解析:(than)it used to be是比较状语从句,it指上文中的life,used to be表示“过去是”。根据所提供的情景“life in the twenty-first century is much easier than”可判断出表示“以我看来,21世纪的生活比过去容易”。be used to后接动词+ing形式作宾语,表示“习惯于”,其主语一般是表示“人”的名词或代词。
