Question

Mr. Smith insisted that his book _______within three days.

A．returned

B．would be returned

C．should return

D．be returned

Answer 1

D

试题分析：考查虚拟语气。insist后跟that引导的宾语从句，当insist意为“坚持认为”时，宾语从句不用虚拟语气；当意为“（坚决）要求”时，宾语从句用虚拟语气，即：should+动词原形，should可省略。句意：史密斯先生坚持要求他的书在三天之内归还。A、C未用被动，B项would不对，排除A、B、C。故选D。
