【考点】考查部分倒装。

【解析】根据英语语法习惯，当“only+状语”置于句首时，其后句子要用部分倒装，可排除A和D。再比较“火势得到控制”和“居民被允许回到家”这两个动作的先后关系，可排除B，因为根据情理，应该是先控制火势，然后居民才能回家。

C. have; has been run                      D. have had; has been run

【答案】A。

【考点】考查动词时态。

【解析】根据句中的up till now可知，第一空应填现在完成时，故可排除B和C；run out的意思是“（时间）流逝”，为不及物动词，以时间名词作主语时，没有被动语态，故可排除D。

A. in which          B. for which          C. so that               D. in that

【答案】D。

【考点】考查固定搭配in that的用法

【解析】in that在此表示原因，其意为“由于”“因为”，句意为：动物遭受了来自人类的苦难，因为人们为了给更多的人提供食物需要开垦农业用地，从而毁了不少动物。又如：Man is superior to the animals in that he uses language to convey his thoughts. 人高于动物是因为人能用语言表达思想。

【考点】考查定语从句。

【解析】where在此引导定语从句，其先行词为cases。在一般情况，定语从句应紧跟在先行词之后，其间不能插入其他成分，但在本题中，定语从句与先行词被分开分，若不注意到这一点，此题很容易做错。句意为：在本章的后面部分，我们将为读者介绍一些事例，说明消费者的投诉已经使法律作出了修改。
