Question

(2013·南京二模)Under the environment of fierce competition, the only way John could imagine ________ stress was to get tougher by making greater efforts.

A．handling	B．to handle
C．handled	D．having handled

Answer 1

B

选B　考查非谓语动词。句意：在激烈竞争的环境下，John唯一能想到的处理压力的方法就是通过更努力变得更坚强。由于此处是the only way，后面需要用to do结构。要注意John could imagine的干扰，它是定语从句，用来修饰the only way。故选B。
