Question

At the routine office meeting，the headmaster insisted that the problems________paid special attention to.

A．referred to being  B．referred to be

C．refer to being  D．refer to be

Answer 1

B　考查非谓语动词和虚拟语气。该句可以是“…the headmaster insisted that the problems which had been referred to should be paid special attention to.”。由此可以看出，referred to为过去分词作后置定语；insist后的宾语从句用“should＋动词原形”，should被省略。句意：在例行办公会议上，校长坚持提及的问题应给予特别的关注。
