1. If Henry had not pulled his caps low over his brow, he ______ by the police.
A. might be recognized
B. might have been recognized
C. would have recognized
D. was to have been recognized
【答案】B
【解析】“may/might have +过去分词”的结构表示“对过去的某件事情进行的推测”，意思是“可能已经……”。

例如：He may/might have gone =It is possible that he went/has gone.他可能走了。

2. ______ was the “curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown ”
A. That moved the human spirit
B. What moved the human spirit
C. What the human spirit moved
D. Which moved the human spirit
【答案】B
【解析】本句的What 是关系代词，等于the thing/things that, anything/all that 等。

注意不要把关系代词what和引出定语从句的关系代词which/that相混淆。

定语从句的which/that必须指前面句子中的一个词或词组，而what却不指前面的任何东西。

3. John had words with his brother, because he hated to see the parrot ______ cruelly.
A. treating
B. treat
C. be treated

【解析】有些及物动词要求现在分词作宾语补足语。

这些动词有see, hear, feel, find, notice, watch, keep, have, get, set（使…），start（引起，开动）, want等。

现在分词作宾语补足语，表示动作正在发生，而动词不定式作宾语补足语，表示动作已经发生了（则动作全部过程结束了）。

4. The teacher demanded that their students ______ on time to every class.
A. were
B. had to

5. The business of each day, ______ selling goods or shipping them , went quite smoothly.
A. it being
B. be it
C. was it
D. it was
【答案】B
【解析】be it 是一种虚拟结构，引导让步状语从句。

A. Not only is / but he is also
B. Not only is / but also is he
C. Not only he is / but also is he

在宾语从句中的谓语动词要用一般过去时表示现在或将来要做的事情。
