Throughout American history, presidents 【C10】______ more than 2 500 congressional bills. Congress has been able to override the president’s veto 【C11】______ 104 times. Presidents in the late 1800s and early 1700s did not use the veto frequently.

【C6】______
选项 A、provide for
B、provided for
C、providing for
D、provides for
答案D
解析  本题考语法。选择项提供了动词的四种形式。在甄别正确答案时，应考虑使用谓语或非谓语动词，即选择A或D，还是选择B或C；现在时还是过去时，即：选择A或C还是B，以及单数(即选择项D)或复数动词(即选择项A)几个方面。首先，显然应选择谓语动词形式，即排除现在分词选项C．providing for。然后排除过去时选项B．provided for，因为文章所谈论的是美国现行宪法。最后，由于主语“美国宪法”是单数，故再排除A．provide for，正确答案为D．provides for。
