Of these two basketball teams, the former comes from the US; the         comes from England.

A．late

B．later

C．latter

D．lately

答案

C

解析

试题分析：词义辨析。Late  adj 晚的，迟的；later较晚，后来；latter后者（与former形成呼应）；lately副词近来，与现在完成时连用。本题只的latter与former形成呼应。The former指前者；the latter指后者；句意：在这两支篮球队中，前者来自美国，后者来自英国。故C正确。
点评：本题考查了late构成的几个不同的词，要注意其词性和词义的区别，同时也要注意它们与不同时态的转化使用。
