Sit【正确答案】C【答案解析】本题考查非谓语动词。句意：你像那样坐在那里，你让我想起了你的父亲。sit的逻辑主语是you，用现在分词表主动。第19题 He told me that the number of students to be admitted_at that time.A. had not been decided onB. were not dec

12、ided onC. has not been decided onD. are not decided on【正确答案】A【答案解析】本题考查时态。句意：他告诉我，在那时被批准加入的学生人数还没有被定下来。that引导的是一个宾语从句，在宾语从句中，the number作主语，to be admitted作students的定语。主句时态为过去时，再由时间状语at that time可知，从句动作发生在主句之前，故用过去完成时。第20题 Jack told his daughter that she could have_she wanted for Christmas.A. whichB.
