Now we could not do anything but _______ for him her

Question

Now we could not do anything but _______ for him here. A．waited B．waiting C．to wait D．wait

Answer 1

D

试题分析：在do nothing／anything／everything +but/except/other than（除了）这三个词前面有行为动词do的任何形式时那么三者后面跟动词不定式时其前的to 省略。如果谓语动词不是“do nothing，anything，everything”，那么but/except/other than所跟的不定式则仍须带to。 点评：本题难度适中。命题者在于考查学生容易出错点，考生一看空格前是介词就用动词的动名词形式，因此需要考生记住一些特例，这也是命题人经常出题的地方。 即学即练：He did nothing ______. A. worked    B. work ing    C. to work   D. work 解析：D 句意：除了工作他什么都不干。
