A ought to have B must have C may have D should have正确答案为C). may. so that引导目的状语从句,表示为了让每个人都有机会听到讲座. 其他选项均不符合题意. ought to have done=should have done本应该做而实际未做. must have done表示对过去的肯定猜测.57 I am surprised_ this city is a dull place to live in.A that you should think B by what you are thinkingC that you would think D with what you were thinking正确答案为A). 本句中should表示惊讶语气, 故不能省略. 句意:你居然会认为在这个城市居住是很无聊的,这点让我很惊讶.58 Susan is very hardworking, but her pay is not_ for her work.A enough good B good enough C as good enough D good as enough正确答案为B). enough修饰形容词副词时需要后置, 且不能和as结构连用.59 It is imperative that the government _ more investment into the shipbuilding industry.A attracts B shall attract C attract D has to正确答案为C). attract 考核的是虚拟语气的用法.
