都不符合语境。

【变式备选】

A.toB.inC.onD.at
【解析】选A。
考查动词搭配。
固定表达showmercyto/towards相当于bemercifulto或havemercyon。
6.【解析】选D。
考查时间状语从句引导词。
句意:
暴雨来得很突然,他们还没找到避雨的地方,就已浑身湿透了。
before在这里表示“尚未来得及”。
7.【解析】选B。
考查否定词与比较级连用表示最高级的用法。
句意:
——昨晚的宴会怎么样?
——好极了!
我从未参加过比那更令人愉悦的宴会。
never与比较级连用表示最高级含义,根据句意可排除A项,故选B。
【变式备选】
—Howwasthepartylastnight?
—Toobad!
Ihaveneverhada onethanthat.
A.moreboringB.moreenjoyable
C.mostenjoyableD.mostboring
【解析】选A。

句意:
问题是他不知道什么伤害了她,而且他也不敢问她。
dare既可作情态动词,也可作实义动词,作实义动词用于否定句时可省略to。
9.【解析】选D。
考查虚拟语气。
句意:
他们强烈建议欧洲国家联盟应当抓紧计划在香烟的包装上加上更加严厉的影响健康的警告。
在suggest表示“建议”后的宾语从句里,谓语应使用虚拟语气,由should+动词原形构成。
plan及其主语warnings是被动关系,故选D。
【变式备选】
(2013·福州模拟)OnAIDSDay,theMinisterofHealthDepartmentdemandedthattheproblems paidspecialattentionto.
A.referredtobeingB.referredtobe
C.refertobeingD.refertobe
【解析】选B。
考查虚拟语气。
句意:
在艾滋病日,卫生部部长要求提到的问题应该特别注意。
referredto为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰problems,demand后接宾语从句时应使用虚拟语气,即should+动词原形,should可以省略。
【知识拓展】
常见的“should型”虚拟语气
与表示建议、要求、命令(suggest/suggestion,demand,order,propose/proposal,insist,command,require,desire,recommend)等相关的名词性从句中,通常用“should型”虚拟语气,即从句的谓语动词用“should+动词原形”结构,而且should可省略。
Theyallagreedtomyproposalthatwe(should)shareinthetaxifare.
他们都同意我的提议,我们分摊计程车费。
