1.(2017·浙江高考)—Alvin,are you coming with us?
—I’d love to,but something unexpected______.
A.has come upB.was coming up
C.had come up
D.would come up
解析:句意:——阿尔文,你跟我们一起去吗?——我很愿意,但是没预料到的事情出现了。A选项的现在完成时表示动作已经发生,符合该句的语境;B选项为过去进行时,表示过去正在发生的动作或表示过去将来的动作;C选项为过去完成时,强调该动作在过去的另一动作前已经发生,考生易误选该项;D选项为过去将来时。根据题意可知,动作come up已经发生,故不宜使用将来时。
答案:A
2.(2011·上海高考)It’s no use______without taking any action.
A.complain
B.complaining
C.being complained
D.to be complained
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:不采取行动而只是抱怨是没有用的。It’s no use doing是固定句式,所以B项为正确答案。
答案:B
3.(2011·江西高考)—The film is,I have to say,not a bit interesting.
—Why?It’s ______ than the films I have ever seen.
A.far more interesting
B.much less interesting
C.no more interesting
D.any less interesting
解析:考查形容词比较等级用法。句意:——我不得不说这部电影真的没有意思。——为什么?它比我以前看过的所有电影都有意思。根据第二句中Why?可以看出第二个人与第一个人的态度相反,也就是说他对这部电影持肯定态度,选项中的其他三项都是否定意义。故答案为A项。
答案:A

答案:A
