5. Would you care to wait here, sir, _________ the manager can see you?

A. when                   B. since                    C. until                    D. while

如果撇開句中的插入成分 sir，句子則為 Would you care to wait here _________ the manager can see you? 根據句意，顯然應填 until。

6. He believes in himself, _________, in my opinion, is of the most important.

A. that                     B. which                   C. what                    D. as

【分析】此題應選B，句中的 in my opinion 為插入成分，如果將其撇開，句子則為 He believes in himself, _________ is of the most important. 空格處顯然應填 which，用以引導一個非限制性的定語從句，句意為“他很自信，我認為這是最重要的”。

7. By the window sits his wife, who, dressed in black, _________ like my aunt.

A. look                    B. looking                C. looked                 D. looks

答案選D，但B和C可能被誤選。此句的基本結構是 His wife sits by the window，由于句子主語 his wife 帶有自己較復雜的修飾語，所以采用了倒裝語序(By the window sits his wife…)。另一方面，由于 his wife 后接的定語從句 who looks like my aunt中插入了一個過去分詞短語(dressed in black)，所以有的同學沒有意識到 looks 是定語從句的謂語，而考慮到選 looked 與前面的過去分詞 dressed 保持一致。

8. The first part, it seems, _________ better written than the other parts.

A. being                   B. to be                    C. is                         D. 不填

答案選C，其中的 it seems 為插入成分，句子的基本結構是 The first part is better written than the other parts. 請看以下類例：

(1) The cross-talk, I think, _________ both interesting and instructive.

A. being                    B. to be                    C. is                         D. 不填

(2) Life, in his opinion, _________ nothing but a dream.

A. being                    B. to be                    C. is                         D. 不填

(3) That dictionary, you know, _________ meant chiefly for Chinese students.

A. being                    B. to be                    C. is                         D. 不填

(4) The audience, more than one thousand of them, _________ up and applauded the singer.

A. standing               B. to stand                C. stood                   D. to be standing

答案均選C，其中的 I think, in his opinion, you know, more than one thousand of them 等均為插入語，做題時可以將其撇開不管。
