1.The train arrive at 11:30 a.m.,but it was an hour late.
A.was about to B.was likely to
C.was supposed to D.was certain to
解析:be supposed to do“应该做……,被期望做……”,A项不与时间状语连用,B、D两项意思不对。
答案:C
2.—Can I smoke here?
—Sorry.We don’t allow here.
A.people smoking B.people smoke
C.to smoke D.smoking
解析:考查动词的用法。allow后可用allow sb.to do/allow doing结构,故选D项。类似的动词还有advise,forbid,permit等。
答案:D
3.It isn’t quite he will be present at the meeting.
A.sure whether B.sure if
C.certain whether D.certain that
解析:在这种句型中不能用sure,只能用certain。“不太确定”后用whether引导宾语从句。
答案:C
4.Having been ill in bed for nearly a month,he had trouble the exam.
A.pass B.to pass C.passed D.passing
