问题
选择题
We spent hours driving and another few hours waiting, only _________ that the plane would be delayed until midnight.
A.to be told
B.having told
C.to have been told
D.told
答案
答案:A
题目分析:考查不定式用法。only to do sth. 的意思是“不料,竟然”;C选项是不定式的完成式,表示动作发生在谓语动词之前。句意:我们开车好几个小时,又等了好几个小时,结果却被告知飞机被延误到半夜。故A正确。
点评:本题考查的非谓语动词做结果状语的用法。不定式与only连用表示意料之外的结果,现在分词则表示的是意料之中的结果。
