问题补充:
I to go on a diet, but the dishes at the party were simply impossible to resist.
A. had intended
B. am intending
C. intend
D. could intend
答案:
A. had intended
B. am intending
C. intend
D. could intend
解析:考察虚拟语气。Had intended to do sth本打算做某事,实际上却未做。根据But后面的过去时可知,这是一个与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故A正确。句意:我本打算节食的,但餐桌上的美味菜肴是无法拒绝的。
