試題答案與解析
1.A)【句意】形成火的條件之一是該材料能夠被加熱到燃燒的溫度。
【難點】A)項requirement 這個詞和idea, suggestion等一樣，要求從句里的謂語動詞用(should)+動詞原形。
2.D)【句意】只有通過艱苦的工作，福比斯先生才能重新控制公司。
【難點】only+狀語放在句首時，具有強調(diào)作用，謂語必須倒裝。
3.C)【句意】只是遲到了幾分鐘，并不能成為解雇她的理由。
【難點】A)，B)均不能充當句子主語，C)The fact 后跟that引出的同位語從句，D)Being 是動名詞。但D)中的名詞being沒有行為主體，未說明誰遲到，所以排除。
4.A)【句意】無論發(fā)生什么事情，我們都不會對他無理的要求做出讓步。
【難點】come what may 是一個固定的用法，其中come總是用原形動詞，在這一用法中，主謂必須倒裝，此句相當于whatever may happen (不管發(fā)生什么情況)。
5. C)【句意】就我所知，每種方法都試過了，但都沒有成功。
【難點】means雖以s結(jié)尾卻是單數(shù)形式，因此謂語動詞應(yīng)選用第三人稱單數(shù)。
