5. That __________ out to me at the very beginning.
A. ought to be pointed B. ought to point
C. ought to have been pointed D. ought to have pointed
1.【答案】D
【解析】语法题,考查虚拟语气,虚拟条件句的从句部分如果含有were,should或had,可将if省略,再把were,should或had移到从句句首,实行倒装。此句是混合虚拟,从句中有the day after tomorrow表将来的状语,因此应用were to形式,所以答案是D项。
2.【答案】A
【解析】”(The) Chances are (that)”常用于口语中,意为”很可能”,例如:The chances are that he is staying at home.他很可能待在家里。
3.【答案】B
【解析】在英语中,表示前一种情况也适用于后者时,可以使用so,neither,nor 后跟倒装句来表示,肯定句中用so,否定句中用neither或nor,例如:He quickened his pace and so did I.他加快了步伐,我也同样。I trust him completely;so would anyone who knows him.我完全信任他,了解他的人都这样。I haven’t read the look;neither do I intend to read it.这本书我没看过,也不想看。My lips will not speak wickcdness,nor will my tongue utter deceit.我不会口出恶言,也不会撒谎。
4.【答案】A
【解析】本题旨在考查四个并列连词的用法。连接词and,可以表示条件,即and前一部分是条件,后一部分是在这一条件下产生的结果。这一结构的前面部分通常用祈使句,有时也用省略句。从全句来看,前面部分是一种条件,后面部分是一种结果,符合上述and的这一用法,因此A项正确。but表示意义的转折,不符合题意。or虽然也起连接两个句子的作用,但其意为”否则,要不然”,前面的句子通常是一种警告,例如:Hurry up,or we’ll be late for the meeting.快点,否则开会要迟到了。so后面的分句虽然也表示一种结果,但前面的分句须表示原因,例如:It was late,so we went home.天晚了,所以我们就回家去了。由此可见,B项、C项和D项皆不正确。
5.【答案】C
【解析】ought to意为”应当”,和动词不定式的一般形式连用,表示劝某人做某事,或告诉某人有责任做某事,在这种情况下,不定式的动作尚未发生,例如:You ought to be more careful.你应该更小心一些。此外,ought to跟动词不定式的完成形式连用,用来谈论过去,表示”本来应该做某事却没有做”,含有责备之意,例如:You ought to have finished the work yesterday.你昨天就该完成这项工作。at the very beginning一般作过去时间状语,因此ought to后面应用不定式的完成时,故A项和D项应予以排除。point out和that具有逻辑上的动宾关系,因此ought to后的动词不定式要用被动形式,所以只有C项为正确答案。
