问题补充:
Tom raised his handsto say something, but he remained silent in the end.
A. even if
B. as if
C. so that
D. now that
答案:
A. even if
(答案→)B. as if
C. so that
D. now that
解析:本题考查状语从句。此举是省略句,补充完整应是Tom raised his hands as if (he was going) to say something. 句意:汤姆举起手好像要说什么。如果as if 引导的从句是“主语+系动词”结构,可省略主语和系动词,这样as if 后就只剩下名词、不定式、形容词(短语)、介词短语或分词。
