1.【答案】B
【解析】seem后面不能接动词的-ing形式,故D项应排除。又因为all the time意为”始终,一直”,常和进行时连用,例如:He seems to be helping us all the time without our knowledge.他好像一直在暗中帮助我们。Conditions are changing all the time.情况在不断地变化着。可见,只有B项符合题意。
2.【答案】A
【解析】正确答案为A项,在这里having 50 households or more作定语修饰every town。由于此处不强调have的非谓语动词所表示的动作和谓语动词establish所表示的动作哪个先哪个后,因此其他三个选项错误。
3.【答案】A
【解析】句型”This is the first/second,etc.time+(that)+主语+完成式”表示”已经发生的动作”,由此可见A项是正确答案,而B项错误。句型”It’s time to do sth.”表示”是该做某事的时候了”,例如:It’s time to buy a new car.到该买新车的时候了。在需要指出动作的发出者,即动作的逻辑主语时.我们就必须借助于不定式的复合结构”for sb. to do sth.”,例如:It is time for you to get a wife and settle down.你该找个妻子安个家了。It’s time for you to go to bed.到你该上床睡觉的时候了。在”it is time (for sb.) to do sth.”中,不定式所表示的动作都是将来要发生的动作,因此不能使用小定式的完成形式,所以C项to haye interrupted错误。
4.【答案】C
【解析】在这里,该不定式用在形容词表语后面作状语,说明产生这种情绪的原因,即因为使你久等我才感到抱歉。根据题意,不定式所表示的动作已经完成,故可以排除A项和B项。keep意为”使(人或物)保持某种状态”,不宜用进行时态,故D项也可排除。C项相当于I am sorry I have kept you waiting.所以C项为正确答案。
5.【答案】B
【解析】mean作”意欲,打算(intend)”讲时,后接动词不定式或复合宾语,例如:I mean to accomplish the task,one way or another.不管怎样,我决意要完成这一任务。Do you mean him to read the letter,too? 你是否有意让他也看看这封信? mean后接名词或动名词时,意为”意味着 (be a sign of)”,此时,其后一般跟名词或动名词,例如:This new frontier incident probably means war.这一新的边境事件可能导致战争。These new orders for our manufactures will mean working overtime.这些产品的新订单意味着我们要加班加点了。根据题意,B项是正确答案。C项是不定式的完成形式,表示本打算做而实际未做的事情,故不符合题意。
