Question

—Who should be responsible for the accident?
—The boss, not the workers. They just carry the orders________.

A．as told	B．as are told
C．as telling	D．as they told

Answer 1

A

试题分析：句意：--谁应当对这起事故负责任？--老板，不是工人，他们只是执行命令罢了。as引导的是方式状语从句，它是省略句，完整的是as they were told，这里把主语及be 都省去，故选A。
点评：本题难度适中。状语从句的省略是高中应该掌握的语法项目，需要考生牢记省略的各种情况。
即学即练：Eliza remembers everything exactly as if it ____ yesterday.
A. was happening   B. happens    C. has happened    D. happened
解析：D。句意：as if后的谓语动词应采用一般过去时的形式与状语yesterday搭配， 表示对现在真实情况的虚拟。
