问题     I am pleased to report that, although we had been expecting poor results for this half year because of slow growth in the world economy, the company has performed very satisfactorily. Operating profits for this first half are in fact very much in line with those for the corresponding【C1】________last year. Profits reached £ 115 million before tax, compared with £ 116. 3 million last year. Much of our success in the last months can be【C2】________to the fact that all our major construction projects remained on schedule. Particularly pleasing was the early【C3】________of a major building contract in Canada.
    The company has made good progress with the initiatives announced at the Annual General Meeting.

【C1】
选项 A、session
B、term
C、season
D、period
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。根据空前的corresponding和空后的last year判断，所填词与this first。half是相对应的；由第一句可知，this first half指“当前的半年”，故所填词应表示与之相对应的去年的半年时间。period指某段时间，不限定时间的长短，符合语境，故答案为D项。session指一学期或一学年；term尤指英国的一学期，一般一年分三个学期。
