Question

The ________ look on the boss's face suggested that he ________ satisfied with John's work.

1. A.
   amazing; was
2. B.
   amazed; be
3. C.
   amazing; be
4. D.
   amazed; was

Answer 1

D
amazing意为“令人吃惊的”；amazed意为“感到吃惊的；觉得吃惊的”。“脸上吃惊的表情”应是amazed look。第二空考查suggest后接宾语从句的用法。suggest若表示“建议”之意，其后的宾语从句就用虚拟语气，如：He suggested that the work (should) be done at once.他建议立即动工。若表示“暗示；表明”之意，则不用虚拟语气。如：Her yawn suggests she is sleepy.她打哈欠表明她困了。此题即表示“暗示；表明”。故不用虚拟语气。
