7.________ to the electronic games that he wasted a lot of precious time.

A. So he was addicted

B. So was he addicted

C. So addicted was he

D. So addicted he was

【答案】C

【详解】考查倒装和时态。句意：他如此沉迷于电子游戏，以至于浪费了很多宝贵的时间。so…that结构中的so连同它所直接修饰的成分位于句首表示强调时，要进行部分倒装，“wasted”表明主句用一般过去时，故C项正确。

【点睛】注意：当“so/such that ”结构中的so, such连同它所直接修饰的成分共同位于句首表示强调时, 主句要进行倒装(that后面的结果状语从句不倒装)。例如：①So angry was he that he couldn’t speak. 他愤怒得一句话也说不出来。（so与作表语的形容词放于句首, 主句呈现全部倒装的形式）。②So fast does he run that he is far ahead of others. 他跑得如此快, 以至于远远领先于其他人。(so与修饰谓语run的副词fast放于句首, 主句呈现部分倒装的形式)。

8.--What did David demand in the meeting just now?

-- ________ an opportunity to join the Debating Club.

A. Being offerred

B. To be offerred

C. Be offerred

D. Having been offerred

【答案】B

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：——大卫刚才在会上要求什么？——给他一个加入辩论俱乐部的机会。答语是省略句，完全句是（David demanded to be offerred an opportunity to join the Debating Club.）主语David是offer的动作承受者，所以用不定式的被动式，故B项正确。

A. set out

B. laid out

C. put out

D. cut out
