1.【答案】A
【解析】resist后可跟动名词,而不跟不定式作宾语。由于非谓语动词tell和句子主语的逻辑动宾关系,因此A项正确。例如:One cannot help being old,but one can resist being aged. 人无法不老,但是可以抵制衰老。I cannot resist going up with this every night,and trying his door.我禁不住每天晚上带着这个东西上楼,去敲他的门。
2.【答案】A
【解析】本题旨在考查不定式的不同形式。不定式的完成式表示不定式的动作在谓语动词的动作之前发生,例如:He is said to have written a new book about workers.据说他又写了一本关于工人的书。当不定式的逻辑主语为该不定式所表示的动作的承受者时,不定式要用被动形式,例如:It is an honor for me to be asked to make a speech here.我很荣幸应邀在这里演讲。根据句意我们知道,本句中的不定式的动作在谓语动词之前发生,又因为句子的主语与该不定式具有逻辑上的动宾关系,所以应用不定式的完成被动形式,故A项正确。C项的时态不符合题意,D项忽略了主语和不定式之间的逻辑关系,而B项既不符合时态,又忽略了主语和不定式之间的逻辑关系。由此可见,B项、C项和D项都不是正确答案。
3.【答案】D
【解析】根据句子结构,此处应用不定式的被动式,由于该不定式与句子的主语有逻辑上的动宾关系,因此应使用被动形式,故D项为唯一正确答案。
4.【答案】B
【解析】as可用作关系代词,引导定语从句,起承接前面主句内容或引出后续主句内容的作用,as在从句中作主语或宾语,指代整个主句,例如:As is announced in the papers,our country has launched successfully another communications satellite.报上宣布,我国又成功发射了一颗通信卫星。As is known to all,contributions to computer technology are no longer confined to any one country.众所周知,对计算机技术作出贡献的,已经不再局限于某一个国家了。有时,助动词be可以省略,例如:As discussed in the previous chapter,communicative teaching of English is of great value.正如前一章所讨论的,英语交际教学法很有价值。由此分析可以看出,只有B项最符合题意。
5.【答案】B
【解析】”there+being+名词”是一个独立分词结构,可以作状语,需要注意的是,此时being不可省略。例如:There being no work,they decided to go to the movies.由于无事可做,他们决定去看电影。There being no bus,they had to set out on foot.由于没有公共汽车,他们只好步行前往。
