1．【答案】C

【解析】reduce sb．to是固定搭配，其中to为介词，后跟动名词，意为”使某人陷入……困境”，例如：Misfortunes reduced the poor peasant to selling his daughter to the landlord．接连不断的不幸迫使那个可怜的农民把女儿卖给地主。

2．【答案】C

【解析】”疑问词+不定式”在句中作宾语。例如：It does not take much strength to do things，but it requires great strength to decide on what to do．做事并不太费劲，可是决定做什么却要费很大的劲。The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook．智慧的艺术就是懂得该宽容什么的艺术。

3．【答案】A

【解析】catch作”当场破获，发觉，撞见(某人)做某事(尤指坏事)”讲时，后面常接”名词(代词)+现在分词”，例如：I caught the boys stealing apples from my garden．我撞见那些孩子们偷我园中的苹果。You won’t catch me doing that again! 我再也不会干那种事了。因此，A项为正确答案。

4．【答案】D

【解析】be to have done结构表示”本来打算做完某事”，强烈地暗示”事实上没有做某事”，这是一种特殊的虚拟语气，相当于intend to have done或plan to have done，but did not do ln fact，A项completed表示”被完成了”，这与but后面的分句内容相矛盾。由于句子主语the second book和动词complete是逻辑动宾关系，因此这里的不定式要使用被动形式，所以B项和C项错误。同时，由于was to complete使用的是过去将来时，根本不能够表示出”原本打算做某事，而实际上未做”的意思，由此也可将C项排除。

5．【答案】A

【解析】该题旨在考查动词know和短语动词do with的用法。我们知道动词know后面既不能接动名词，也不能接不定式作宾语，所以C项和D项皆不是正确答案。但动词know后面可以接”疑问词+不定式”的结构，例如：Nobody knows how to operate the new machine．没有人知道怎样操作这台新机器。He doesn’t know what to say before the VIP．他不知道在那位大人物面前该说些什么。do with意为”处理，对付(deal with)”，例如：What did you do with yourself last Sunday?上个星期天你是怎么度过的? The children didn’t know what to do with themselves for joy．孩子们高兴得无法控制自己。由此可见，A项正确而B项错误。
