【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练（8.27）参考答案

1.A

【句意】要是我记得关上窗户，小偷就进不来了。

【解析】语法结构——虚拟语气。根据题干中的“the thief would not have got in小偷就进不来了”可知这里表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，故根据句中的“had remembered”可直接排除C项和D项。再根据“remember to do sth. 表示记得要去做某事；remember doing sth.表示记得做了某事”以及句中“If I had remembered……要是我记得……”可知A项“to close”正确。

2.D

【句意】当这个老人来到门口时，我们已经吃完了早餐。

【解析】语法结构——过去完成时。根据从句中的谓语动词“came”可知“对我们而言，这个老人来到门口属于发生在过去的事情，而我们吃早饭则是发生在过去的过去”，故选项中使用过去完成时（过去完成时表示到过去某个点为止所完成的动作，其时常与一般过去时成对出现。）的D项“had just had”正确。

1. They are always saying that they want to help us but their hands are tied.

“身不由己”为汉语成语，其字面意思是“身体不能由自己做主”，用来指“行为不能由自己支配”。可以将其译为“unable to contain oneself”或“lose control of oneself”等。
