I can hardly imagine Peter ________ across the Atlantic Ocean in five days.
A. sail
B. to sail
C. sailing
D. to have sailed
题目解答
答案
C. sailing
解析
本题考查动词imagine的用法及动名词的结构。关键点在于掌握imagine后接动名词的用法,即imagine sb doing sth(想象某人做某事)。此结构表示对某人行为的想象或假设,需用动名词形式。
选项分析
- A. sail:动词原形,但imagine后需接动名词,因此错误。
- B. to sail:不定式,imagine不直接接不定式,排除。
- C. sailing:动名词,符合imagine sb doing sth的结构,正确。
- D. to have sailed:不定式的完成式,表示已完成的动作,但此处强调“想象过程”而非完成时态,故不适用。
结构验证
句子结构为imagine Peter sailing across the Atlantic,完整表达“想象彼得横渡大西洋的情景”,符合语法规范。
