Bob insisted that he ________ nothing wrong and ________ from work.
A.did; won’t be fired
B.had done; not be fired
C.should do; mustn’t be fired
D.do; shouldn’t be fired
答案:B
题目分析:insist作坚决要求、一定要,其宾语从句常用与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,即should +do;should可以省略。如: Her father insists that she (should) learn music after she leaves school. insist作坚持说、坚持认为时,用陈述语气。如: Alice insisted that she had done nothing wrong.
点评:本题难度适中。这是学生很容易混淆的insist的这两种用法。命题者经常在学生容易出错的地方设题,还需学生对于这里语境理解才能做对。
即学即练:The man insisted ________ a taxi for me even though I told him I
lived nearby.
A. find B. to find C. on finding D. in finding
解析:C。因为insist后要么接that从句,要么接on sth. 或on doing sth. ,没有别的情况,所以选C。insist on doing坚持要做某事。
