(希望)．fact(事實)，belief(信仰)。news(消息)，idea

(主意；觀念)，promi’se(承諾)，i nIormation(信息)，con-

clusion(結(jié)論)，order(命令)，suggestion(建議)，prob-

這些名詞的具體內(nèi)容。引導詞常用that(一般不可省

去)，此外還有whether，when．where，who，what，

which，why，how等。選用引導詞時，要結(jié)合整個句意

來考慮。例如：

ger and healthier life remain active even in old age. 未來

[考查目標] 本題考查動詞remain的用法。

[答案與解析]B　 本題題意為“到國外旅行當然會對這

對老夫婦有好處，但他們是否會玩得開心要以后才知

道”，需要填表示將來的動作同時又含有被動意義的不

定式。選項A為不定式，但為主動的動作；選項C為現(xiàn)

在分詞。表示正在進行的動作；選項D為過去分詞，表

示完成的被動動作。
