问题补充:
(·浙江高考)No matter how bright a talker you are, there are times when its better silent.
A. remain
B. be remaining
C. having remained
D. to remain
答案:
A. remain
B. be remaining
C. having remained
(答案→)D. to remain
解析:选D考查非谓语动词。句意:不管你多么能言善辩,但有时候还是保持沉默更好。该题考查“it is+形容词+to do sth.”这一句型,句中to remain silent“保持沉默”是真正的主语,it是形式主语。
