2019年mpacc考试英语真题——副词212

{01}The committee is discussing the problem right now. It will ______ have been solved by the end of next week.

A.eagerly

B.hopefully

C.immediately

D.gradually

解析：考查副词。由“现在讨论了”可知，“有希望”在周末得到解决。
本题选B。
{02} We all do more speaking _______，even when we have a break after class.

A.now and then	B.by and by
C.step by step	D.more or less

解析：此题考查在特定语境中副词短语的用法。题意为“即使是课后休息的时候，我们也不时地进行更多的口语训练”。by and by意为“渐渐地”；step by step意为“逐步地”；more or less意为“或多或少地”，均不合题意。
本题选A。
