题目内容
16.We insisted that the girl ________ suitable for the job,but the manager insisted that she _______ the job because of her shyness as a receptionist.( )A. | should be; was offered | B. | was not; should be offered | ||
C. | was; not be offered | D. | should not be; was not offered |
分析 我们坚持认为这个女孩适合这份工作;但是经理坚持要求不把这份工作提供给她,因为作为接待她太害羞.
解答 答案是C.本题考查动词insist的用法.insist表示"坚持要求"时从句中的动词用"(should)+do";但是表示"坚持认为"时,遵循一般的宾语从句的规则.根据句意,第一句中insist表示"坚持认为",主句动词是过去时,从句中动词也用与过去相关的时态,排除A和D;第二句中insist是坚持要求,所以从句中动词用"(should)+do";由but判断经理坚持不把这份工作提供给她,所以答案选择C.
点评 本题考查特殊的动词insist的用法,要在理解基本用法的基础上结合语境,做出合理的判断.
