一、单项选择(每题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】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:最后迈克承认犯了一个错误。acknowledge doing sth. 为固定短语,意为“承认做了某事”,acknowledge后接动名词作宾语,此处为动名词的完成式,表示动作已经发生,故选B项。
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】
【详解】考查时态和虚拟语气。句意:他坚持要求我收回我说的话,但我坚持认为我的话是对的。分析句子可知,句中涉及“insist”的用法,“insist”后接“that”引导的从句,当“insist”表示“坚持要求”时,从句中的动作还未发生,这时要用虚拟语气,空格一所在句“收回我说的话”的动作还未发生,故应用虚拟语气,谓语动词用“(should)+动词原形”,“should”可省略,故空格一填“take”,“take back”意为“收回”; 当“insist”表示“坚持认为”时,表示的是个人看法,不用虚拟,从句时态和主句保持一致,根据句中“insisted”可知,空格二所在句陈述的是过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,动词要用过去式,“words”为可数名词复数,与“were”连用,故空格二填“were”。故选C项。
