26. George returned after the war, only _______ that his wife had left him.
A. to be told B. telling
C. being told D. told
【答案】A
【解析】此处only to do/be done表示意料之外的结果;现在分词作结果状语则表示自然的结果。这里George和tell之间是被动关系,因此用to be told。句意:乔治战争后回到家,结果被告知妻子已经离开了。
【考点】考查不定式短语作结果状语。
27. 一 Have you figured out how much the trip will cost?
—$4,000, or like that.
A. anything B. everything C. something D. nothing
【考点】本题考查不定代词用法
【答案】C
【解析】something like that 意为“大致如此,差不多这样”,something在本句中是表示不确定的描述或数量,“大致,左右”的意思。比如:She called at something after ten o’clock.她10点多钟来过电话。It tastes something like melon. 这吃起来有点像甜瓜。They pay six pounds an hour. Something like that. 他们按每小时六英镑付费。大致如此。
