选择题
The old man sitting under the tree smiled dreamily, as if _____something pleasant in the past.
A.to remember
B.remember
C.remembering
D.remembered
答案
答案:C
题目分析:as if后跟的省略句,完整的是as if he was remembering …,因为老人笑的时候记得某事,故用过去进行时。如果as if 引导的从句是“主语+系动词”结构,可省略主语和系动词,这样as if 后就只剩下名词、不定式、形容词(短语)、介词短语或分词。如:
He acts as if (he was) a fool. 他做事像个傻子。
Tom raised his hands as if (he was going) to say something.
汤姆举起手好像要说什么。
She left the room hurriedly as if (she was)angry.
她匆忙离开房间好像生气的样子。
点评:本题难度适中。as if的用法是高中的重点,不仅掌握它的省略,还要掌握它引起的从句的语气(虚拟语气和陈述语气)和时态的用法。
即学即练:The child talked to us as if he ____(be) a grown-up.
解析:were.句意:那孩子跟我们谈起话来,像个成年人似的。
