4. insist一詞的用法

[應(yīng)用4] 

(1)Seeing that he was so seriously ill, I insisted that he ______ to hospital at once.
A.was sent B.be sent C.will be sent D.had been sent

解析:insist在此表示“堅決要求”,從句中省略了情態(tài)動詞should,這種句式結(jié)構(gòu)為insist/suggest/demand that sb. (should) do sth.“堅持/建議/要求某人干某事”。題意:看到他病得這么嚴重,我堅持馬上送他去醫(yī)院。

答案:B

(2)The old worker insisted that he ______ old and ______ back to the working post again.
A.wasn’t; be sent B.wasn’t; was sent C.be not; send D.isn’t; sent

解析:從題意看,這位老工人“堅持認為一種觀點”和“堅決要求做某件事”。因此,涉及insist的兩種不同用法?!袄瞎と苏J為他沒有老”,其謂語用正常時態(tài);“應(yīng)該再次被派往工作崗位”,其謂語要用(should) do形式。

答案:A

(3)She insisted ______ to Miami for her summer vacation though it would cost much money.
A.on taking B.on being taken C.to take D.to be taken

解析:insist on doing sth.是常用短語,此處take與前面的主語是被動關(guān)系,故用動名詞的被動式。

答案:B

(4)Sam insisted that he ______ the law and ______.
A.didn’t break; mustn’t be punished
B.doesn’t break; shouldn’t punish
C.hadn’t broken; be not punished
D.hadn’t broken; not be punished

解析:句意是:薩姆堅持說他沒有犯法,不應(yīng)當受到懲罰。“沒有犯法”發(fā)生在insisted之前,所以不要用虛擬語氣;“不要受到懲罰”發(fā)生在insisted之后,要用虛擬語氣。

答案:D

(5)No matter what you say, I shall ______ my opinion.
A.carry out B.insist on? C.keep up D.stick to

解析:短語動詞辨析。句意為:不論你說什么,我都要堅持我的意見。carry out完成,實現(xiàn),執(zhí)行;insist on多用于堅持主張、看法、意見或要求,后接動名詞;keep up保持,維持;stick to表示堅持原則、決定、諾言、理論或理想等。

答案:D
