一、單項選擇(每題1.5分,共15分)
1. Finally Mike acknowledged ________ a mistake.
A. made B. having made C. to make D. make
【答案】B
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意:最后邁克承認犯了一個錯誤。acknowledge doing sth. 為固定短語,意為“承認做了某事”,acknowledge后接動名詞作賓語,此處為動名詞的完成式,表示動作已經(jīng)發(fā)生,故選B項。
2. He insisted that I ________ back what I said, but I insisted that my words ________ right.
A. take; was B. took; was C. take; were D. took; were
【答案】C
【解析】
【詳解】考查時態(tài)和虛擬語氣。句意:他堅持要求我收回我說的話,但我堅持認為我的話是對的。分析句子可知,句中涉及“insist”的用法,“insist”后接“that”引導(dǎo)的從句,當“insist”表示“堅持要求”時,從句中的動作還未發(fā)生,這時要用虛擬語氣,空格一所在句“收回我說的話”的動作還未發(fā)生,故應(yīng)用虛擬語氣,謂語動詞用“(should)+動詞原形”,“should”可省略,故空格一填“take”,“take back”意為“收回”; 當“insist”表示“堅持認為”時,表示的是個人看法,不用虛擬,從句時態(tài)和主句保持一致,根據(jù)句中“insisted”可知,空格二所在句陳述的是過去發(fā)生的事,應(yīng)用一般過去時,動詞要用過去式,“words”為可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù),與“were”連用,故空格二填“were”。故選C項。
