A) was not releasedB) not be releasedC) had not been releasedD) not released 应选B not be released

recommended that 是虚拟语气

recommended that + (should) do 或者 (should) be

D

应为是被动式,

1,He asked __to be not-re-elected__since he had been chairman for seven

years.

to have been re-elected be not re-elected to been re-elected have not been re-elected 感觉此处not与reelected构成了一个合成形容词

2,She never laughed ,_nor did she ever___lose her temper. she ever did did she ever did she ever she ever did nor表示也不,后面句子要倒装

3,It is recommended that the project __not be started__until all the

preparations have been made. be started not be started not started not to be started

应该是It is recommended that shouldn't be done,而此处是省略了should

exciting life in New York.

much to to much to so as to

太.而不能.d中so as to是为了做什么的意思

this part of the country.

nearly前三个都是表示否定,只能选d

虚拟语气,应该是if it had not been for ...,省略if 后需要倒置,将had放在句首 7,You cannot be _too___careful when you drive a car .

表示否定意味

8,The doctor warned his patient that _on no account___should he return to

work until he had completely recovered.

no account Bon all accounts any account every account 后面用了倒装,所以前面的一定是否定条件状语从句

9,_Little___does he know that the police are about to arrest him.

应该是He knows little that the police are about to ...little提到前面来,用倒装 10,He didn't mention anything about the party,_not even___the date. even nor neither even

可以用单独的nor,或是not even,表示甚至没有
