—Who should be responsible for the accident?
—The boss, not the workers. They just carry the orders________.
A.as told
B.as are told
C.as telling
D.as they told
答案:A
题目分析:句意:--谁应当对这起事故负责任?--老板,不是工人,他们只是执行命令罢了。as引导的是方式状语从句,它是省略句,完整的是as they were told,这里把主语及be 都省去,故选A。
点评:本题难度适中。状语从句的省略是高中应该掌握的语法项目,需要考生牢记省略的各种情况。
即学即练:Eliza remembers everything exactly as if it ____ yesterday.
A. was happening B. happens C. has happened D. happened
解析:D。句意:as if后的谓语动词应采用一般过去时的形式与状语yesterday搭配, 表示对现在真实情况的虚拟。
