Question

Mary insisted she ________ right and that Jack ________ to her.

A. be; said sorryB. was; say sorry

C. be; say sorryD. was; said sorry

Answer

B

【解析】

试题分析：考查insist引导的宾语从句。第一空前面的insist表示“坚持说/坚持认为”，动作已经发生，后面的宾语从句中用陈述语气，用过去时；第二空insist表示“坚持要求/坚持主张”，动作尚未发生，后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气 should do(should可以省略)；故选B。句意：玛丽坚持她是对的，坚持要杰克向她道歉。

【名师点拨】

insist 用法与suggest 相似.insist作“坚持”说时,要用陈述语气；作“坚决主张；坚决要求”讲时,用虚拟语气。如：

When the son suggested that they should go to the park on Sunday,the expression on his father’s face suggested that he agreed with him.当儿子提议星期天去公园时，父亲用表情表示了默许。

They insisted that he （should）be present at the ceremony.他们坚决要求他出席这次典礼。

He insisted that he was innocent.=He insisted on his innocence.他坚持说自己是无辜的。
