语法与词汇

It is incredible to say aggression against the small country should not have been met with the full force of the military power of its allies.

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

本题重点考查英语中某些意义相近的形容词的惯用结构。画线部分有不定式to say ,从语法角度来看,这个不定式应该是句子的主语,但是如果用to say作主语,与后 面的谓语部分should not have been met with...—起就会使整个句子的意思不通顺,因此 此句不能用it is incredible+adj.这种结构。四个选项中首先可以排除C和D选项,因为英语中没有it's fantastic for doing sth.这种表达结构,虽然有it’s implausible that...这种表达 结构,但在implausible和that之间不能有其他词插入。A选项也是错误的,正确的表达 式应该是it’s incredible that...。B选项中It is inconceivable that...是一个惯用结构,意思是 “令人难以置信的是……” ,与后面从句的意义衔接,故选B。
[参考译文]小国遭到侵略,居然得不到其盟国军事力量的全力援助,简直令人难以置信。
[语法拓展] 某些形容词与不定式或从句连用常表示感情或看法,如afraid, anxious, ashamed, disappointed, frightened, happy, pleased, proud, sad, surprised, unhappy等。
e.g. He was anxious to leave before it got dark.他希望在天黑前离开。
They were afraid that I might have talked to the police.他们担心我可能已经报警了。
