Bu

6、t we have to change the plan.”可知，事情還沒有發(fā)生，所以從句為將來時(shí)態(tài)，結(jié)合主句為一般過去時(shí)可知，從句為過去將來時(shí)態(tài)。故選B。5.You _ be able to control all the things that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.A. need notB. may notC. must notD. should not【答案】B【解析】【詳解】句意：你可能無法控制發(fā)生在你身上的所有事情，但你可以決定不被它們拖累?？疾榍閼B(tài)動(dòng)詞辨析。need not不需要；m

15、是對(duì)一段時(shí)間進(jìn)行提問， how soon表示 “不久之后”，主要用來對(duì)表示將來的一段時(shí)間提問，根據(jù)句中的“Next month? Or next year?”，可知是問多久之后，所以應(yīng)用how soon引導(dǎo)賓語從句；又因?yàn)橘e語從句要用陳述句語序：疑問詞+主語+謂語+其他成分，故選A。13.Weve discussed this many times. No jeans to the party!Very well then, if you _. But wheres my suit?A. suggestB. imagineC. agreeD. insist【答案】D【解析】【詳解】句

16、意：我們已經(jīng)討論了很多次。 不能穿牛仔褲參加聚會(huì)！那好吧， 如果你堅(jiān)持的話?？墒俏业奈餮b在哪里？考查動(dòng)詞辨析。suggest建議；imagine想象；agree同意；insist堅(jiān)持。根據(jù)語境“No jeans to the party”可知，不能穿牛仔褲參加聚會(huì)是一條要去“堅(jiān)持”的規(guī)則。故選D。14.Im going to sell all your old books.
