The students expected there ______ more reviewing classes before the college entrance examination, but, to their disappointment, all the classes were finally canceled.
A. would be
B. being
C. have been
D. to be
题目解答
答案
A. would be
解析
本题考查虚拟语气在宾语从句中的用法。关键点在于掌握动词expect后接宾语从句时的结构特点:从句需使用虚拟语气,即there would be的结构。需注意区分其他选项中there being、there to be等结构的语境适用性。
关键分析步骤
-
识别句型结构
主句The students expected...中,expected是谓语动词,其后接宾语从句。宾语从句的主干为there ______ more reviewing classes。 -
确定虚拟语气形式
当expect表示“期望、希望”时,其宾语从句需使用虚拟语气,即there would be(would为助动词,be为原形动词)。此结构表示“原本期望会发生但实际未发生的情况”。 -
排除干扰项
- B. being:
there being是动名词结构,通常用于expect后接动名词作宾语的情况(如expect sb. doing),但此处需从句结构,排除。 - C. have been:
have been为现在完成时,与expect的虚拟语气用法矛盾。 - D. to be:
there to be是不定式结构,通常用于expect的主动语态(如expect to do),但此处需从句,排除。
- B. being:
