43. The man in prison insisted that he _________ nothing wrong and _________ set free.

A. had done, should be                            B. should do, should be

C. had done, had been                             D. should do, had been

【分析】此題容易誤選B，想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為 insist 后的從句謂語(yǔ)要用“should+動(dòng)詞原形”這樣的虛擬語(yǔ)氣。事實(shí)上，insist后的從句謂語(yǔ)是否用“should+動(dòng)詞原形”這樣的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，要看該謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的含義。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，若該謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作尚未發(fā)生，或尚未成為事實(shí)，則用虛擬語(yǔ)氣；若該謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞所表示的動(dòng)作已經(jīng)發(fā)生，或已經(jīng)成為事實(shí)，則要用陳述語(yǔ)氣。對(duì)上題而言，坐牢的這個(gè)人堅(jiān)持了兩點(diǎn)：一是沒(méi)做錯(cuò)事，二是應(yīng)該釋放。很顯然，在坐牢這個(gè)人看來(lái)，“沒(méi)做錯(cuò)事”應(yīng)該是事實(shí)，故用陳述語(yǔ)氣；“被釋放”還不是事實(shí)（因?yàn)樗�還在坐牢），故用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。所以此題的最佳答案應(yīng)為A。又如：

He insisted that I had read his letter. 他堅(jiān)持說(shuō)我看過(guò)他的信。（“看信”已成為事實(shí)，故用陳述語(yǔ)氣）

He insisted that I should read his letter. 他堅(jiān)持要我看他的信。（“看信”尚未成為事實(shí)，故用虛擬語(yǔ)氣）

請(qǐng)?jiān)僮鱿旅嬉活}：

The patient insisted that he _________ ill and _________ to the hospital.

A. wasn’t, wasn’t sent                              B. wasn’t, shouldn’t be sent

C. shouldn’t be, wasn’t sent                       D. shouldn’t be, shouldn’t be sent

答案選B，因?yàn)樵谡f(shuō)話者看來(lái)，“沒(méi)病”是事實(shí)，故用陳述語(yǔ)氣；“不送醫(yī)院”尚未成為現(xiàn)實(shí)，故用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。

44. Who is it up _________ decide whether to go or not？

A. to to                    B. for for                 C. to for                   D. for to

許多同學(xué)一看選項(xiàng)排除了A和B，因?yàn)橄駜蓚�(gè)介詞連在一起用一般是不可能的。至于C和D，該選哪個(gè)呢？顯然空格的 decide 是動(dòng)詞，所以它前面應(yīng)是不定式符號(hào)to，而不能是介詞 for，所以此題應(yīng)選D。此分析盡管有些道理，但所選答案還是錯(cuò)了，正確的選項(xiàng)應(yīng)是A。同學(xué)們應(yīng)該熟悉 up to 的用法，它的意思很多，其中一個(gè)用法是表示“該由……負(fù)責(zé)”，“在于……”、“取決于……”。如：

“Shall we go out?” “It’s up to you.” “我們出去嗎？”“這由你決定。”

When we start is up to you. 我們什么時(shí)候出發(fā)由你來(lái)定。

It’s up to you to decide whether to go or not. 去還是不去由你來(lái)決定。

若對(duì)上面一句中的you 提問(wèn)即有：

Who is it up to to decide whether to go or not？

請(qǐng)?jiān)倏匆韵聨最}；

(1) I asked him what he hoped _________ his birthday.

A. on on                   B. at at                     C. to to                     D. for for

答案選D。比較：He hoped for a bike for his birthday. 若對(duì)其中的 a bike 提問(wèn)即得到 What did he hope for for his birthday.

(2) Would you tell me what subject you were good _________ school?

A. at at                     B. in in                     C. for for                  D. with with

答案選A，be good at = 擅長(zhǎng)于，at school = 在校，在學(xué)校讀書(shū)。

(3) The books we _________ nothing to do with this subject.

A. have have             B. do do                   C. read read              D. need need

答案選A，we have 是修飾 the books 的定語(yǔ)從句，have nothing to do with 是短語(yǔ)，意為“與……無(wú)關(guān)”。

(4) Whoever has a strong _________ not leave his work half way done.

A. shall shall              B. will will                C. can can                D. may may

答案選B, 第一個(gè)will 是名詞，意為“意志”，have a strong will 意為“意志堅(jiān)強(qiáng)”；第二個(gè) will 是助動(dòng)詞，意為“將”。
