Unit 16 Social and personal
1.I should very much
like to have gone to the party but I________.
A. am not invited B. shall not
be invited
C. am not being invited D. was not
invited
答案:D
解题策略 通过读题,我们可以发现主句中的“should like + to
+ have + 过去分词”这一结构表示“本来想……”的意思,即主句可译为“我本来倒是很想参加那次聚会”,接下来我们应当能够体会这句话的潜台词——想去但没有去成。由此可见,“说话人没有被邀请去”这件事情只能发生在过去,故正确答案为D项。
错误辨析 在读题时没有注意到主句的动词不定式是以完成式出现的,因此误选A项。这是本题在解题时易犯的错误。
2.He _______ before 2:30. It’s 3 o’clock
now. We have to start without him.
A. should be coming B. should have
come
C. shouldn’t have come D. must have
come
此题的正确答案是B(should have come),should have+过去分词结构意为“本来应该如何如何”,暗含“事实并非如此”的意思。选项A中should
be coming意为“肯定正在来”,与题中提供的上下文信息不符合,予以排除;选项
C中shouldn’t have come意为“本来不应该”而事实上来了,与下句We
have to start without him相矛盾,予以排除;选项
D中 must have come意为“他肯定已经到了”,情态动词 must表示肯定的推测,显然与下句意思矛盾,予以排除。如:
You should have thought of that.你本应该想到那一点的。(可事实上未想到)
They shouldn’t have left so soon.他们本不应如此早离开。(可事实上离开太早)
3.You may use the room as you like,
______ you clean it up afterward.
A. as if B. even if C. so long as D.
so that
此题的正确答案是C(so long as),连词词组 so/as long
as比 if的条件意义更强,表示只要具备某条件,肯定会出现某情况。选项A
as if意为“似乎、仿佛”,引出行为方式状语从句,不合题意,予以排除;选项B中
even if意为“尽管、纵然”,也不合题意,予以排除;选项D中so that意为“以至于,因此”,引出结果状语从句,也不合题意,予以排除。如:
As long as you make Jack happy I’m
content,.只要你使杰克高兴,我就满意了。
You wouldn’t have a bad time at all,
so long as you weren’t seasick.只要你不晕船。你就根本不会受苦。
4.-I’m sorry to have shouted at you.
I didn’t mean to be so rude.
—You were very angry. Anyway, ______
.
A. you’re welcome B. that’s right
C. it doesn’t matter D. I’m sorry
about that
此题的正确答案是C(it doesn’t smatter),表示道歉最常用语是I’m
sorry…也可用 I apologize for…或Please excuse
me…等表示歉意。对道歉的应答语可用It doesn’t matter.或
That’s nothing.或Never mind.等。选项A中you’re
welcome 是对致谢的应答语,意为“不用谢”。选项B中that’s
right意为那是对的。如说“没关系、不用道歉”时应说That’s all
right. 选项D中I’m sorry about that意为“我对此深表遗憾”,是道歉语,而非接受道歉语。均不合题意。如:
—I’m awfully sorry, I’ve broken a
vase. 我深感道歉,打碎了花瓶。
—Oh, never mind. 哦,可别介意。
—Please, excuse me for coming late.
请原谅,我来迟了。
—It’s quite all right. 没关系的。
5.A thief was seen ________ something
from the room.
A. to steal B. steal
考查有些及物动词不用被动语态的情况。在英语中并非所有的及物动词都可用于被动语态,如meet(遇见),become(适合),last(持久),catch(赶上),hold(容纳),lack(缺少),suit
fit(适合)等。答案是A。
6.The room ________ about 100 people.
A. can hold B. can be held
考查感觉动词结构(如see sb.do sth.)变成被动语态(sb.was
seen to do sth.)时的用法。这些词变成被动结构后要加to。答案是A。
